Photographer Thomas secretly took a group of photos about a lover's date in a park in London. Later, the woman in the photo desperately wanted these negatives, which aroused Thomas's suspicion. Thomas kept Enlarge the photos, and finally believed that he saw a body and a man with a gun in the photos, and he seemed to have found evidence of the murder scene. Thomas tried to expose the murder based on the vague evidence in the photos, but to no avail. At this time, his workplace was ransacked, and the photos disappeared. Thomas originally believed that technological inventions, such as photography, could enable him to obtain and conquer reality, so he was addicted to it. Later, he finally discovered that the relationship between reality and its replicas, as well as people's illusions about the latter, is uncertain. At the end, the students performed an imaginary tennis match, and Thomas had a certain enlightening effect. For the performers, the imaginary tennis ball is of course "real", just as the image in the photographs used as evidence is probably just a fantasy for Thomas. The performance of the students became a symbol of Thomas' thoughts, and Thomas no longer tried to distinguish the boundary between reality and fantasy. He imagined the tennis ball was out of bounds, picked it up and threw it back to the students. When Thomas picked up the imaginary ball, he did not put down his camera. For him, the boundary between reality and its replicas and people's fantasy does not exist.

The photographer's home (or studio) itself is like a complex installation art. Glass, background walls, curtains, doors of different colors and some weird little objects all make the real environment collapse into dizziness. Cortazar's obsessed text devours reality, and the confusion of reality and reality is reversed through the medium of the camera lens, like the devil spit saliva densely weaves the sensory network. Although the folds of the novel are smoothed out in the film, the film re-folds the new through the image. The layers of folds, an adaptation as great as the original or a re-creation of the literary language translated through the language of film.

Master, it is difficult to appreciate. Don't talk to me about philosophical thinking about existence or not. All philosophies that cannot be articulated are hypothetical philosophies. It's that simple.
