whistling, whistling

It's been almost 5 years, and how many times I've watched the beginning and nothing happened.

The title "Zoom" has a plot connotation. When photographers constantly develop new photos and stick them all over the wall to look for suspicious points, they are most engaged-the photographer zooms in on the photos and wants to zoom in on the truth. This scene seems to have similar tribute clips in "Blade Runner" and "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind".

But what makes people laugh is not the so-called "suspenseful" effect, but the wanton rebellious atmosphere and attitude towards "beauty" that linger in the film full of the characteristics of the 1960s. Huge propellers, broken guitar bars looted at the live house, "modern girls" who throw themselves in their arms, and the photographer's paranoid aesthetic control and playful photo printing. A lot of interest is not available in our era of "aesthetic" when we use our fingers to enlarge the photo after taking a photo with a mobile phone.

At the beginning, a carload of young people roared, and at the end they roared away, playing empty tennis on the empty lawn tennis court. When the photographer picked up the "dropped tennis ball" and "threw it into the air", What did he think of about the murder case, about the "magnified truth", about the sullen face after searching for the truth, about the mysterious "looking good-looking" woman who almost succeeded in hunting for beauty?
