In one scene from his film, he had four women naked at one time, and in another, Michelangelo used a sexy desert scene to fill that void. He hoped to bring back an era of free love that was apparent in a Romanticists life. Antonioni claimed to be a Marxist intellectual, however his socialist criticisms of society speak differently about his faith in socialist solutions. One of Antonioni s most impressive traits is how he was even able to produce films at all. Antonioni s films do not appeal to a large audience, normally critical for the cinema.
Films depend upon ticket revenues, signified by mass public support.
Michelangelo s character, one of a tenacious and resilient sort, is highly commendable. He had to be extremely persistent to get producers to fund his films. The producers must also be commended, for it was through their foresight that the world was able to know a great film maker and social critic. Knowing that Antonioni s films were commercial failures, the producers still spent the money to allow Antonioni to make films. Many political events shaped Antonioni s life and films.
