    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...

    Let me tell you a funny thing: when you zoom in on the world in front of you, you will find that you have miraculously disappeared. What you care about doesn't exist. Finally, when Thomas throws a non-existent tennis ball towards an unseen place, the story goes back to the beginning - trust your own eyes, or trust the camera that has never been removed from your chest? The real world is just a game in which we conspire with nothingness, it is there, we are not; we are there, but we feel it all...

    The camera was addictive to use, and it was used to replicate the world when the human landscape began to change at a dizzying rate. The scene captured by the viewfinder is a sign of the past presence, and even because of its complete time and space cut, it will be regarded as a substitute for memory. But if you only want to appear through the lens, relying on the image of a specific scene frame, complete the presence, and confirm the existence, then it is inevitable to return to Plato's cave...

    #Northern Film Festival# is very in line with my realistic feelings. Empty and boring, anti-politics a consumer culture, everyone pretending to have a job to kill time, no interest in what really matters. Even the ambitious male protagonist can only zoom in on a truth that he has no confidence to confirm through the camera. Even the director is too lazy to reveal the final truth... It's so tiring to...

    I liked the ending part so much that it raised the height accumulated in the first 100 minutes to a higher level. What is the truth? Antonioni didn't seem to give an answer to the end. There are a lot of details in the middle section that deserve to be carefully tasted and pondered. The shocking "Zoom" in "Red Desert" in the use of colors has come again. This film is a year earlier than "The Male and Female Thief" on the other side of the ocean, and various metaphors and innovations are no less...

    The entry point of the story is novel, and there are too many technical terms in photography, which is a bit difficult to...

    004: The first antagonism: the photographer's self-questioning, he once knew the murder facts at a certain time, and then he could no longer verify the truth of the facts or his fantasy; the second antagonism: the photographer and the other's concept conflict, only he Believe that a murder happened and no one around believes it. It's like Fromm's "mechanical convergence", when he picks up a tennis ball that doesn't exist at all, it's like painting himself a layer of protection, becoming...

    The revellers' tennis followed the opening into a Mobius ring, erasing the boundaries between the real and the unreal from the start. In terms of existence or not, what only one can see and what only one cannot see are the same...

    The first impression is that of an aesthetic masterpiece, with a structurally surreal beauty in the color combination of the picture composition. It blends various artistic styles such as photography, fashion, stage play and even rock, and it is seamless and unobtrusive. As for philosophical thinking, the definition of existence, the ever-expanding process blurs the line between truth and fantasy. The off-the-ball tennis at the end very subtly embodies this kind of "being and not" thinking. A...

    A+ / Antonioni's "Zoom" wins, Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and Ou Rong's "Into the House"...

    The decadent male protagonist who goes out with the workers at the beginning of the film is a reality, and the whole film after that shows the fantasy of different characters including the male protagonist: why the male protagonist does not look like a normal person after discovering the murder in...

    In fact, I don't quite understand why Hong Kong should translate "Blow Up" into "Spring Comes Together". In contrast, I prefer the mainland version of the translation, "Zoom", which is more straightforward.

          The film tells the story of photographer Thomas who accidentally took a series of...
