"Zoom" adheres to Antonioni's usual weakened narrative style, infiltrating color, scheduling, composition, philosophy, existentialism and nothingness into this stream-of-consciousness film. However, Director An changed his usual female perspective, and switched to shooting from the perspective of a male photographer with a successful and pompous career. This seems to be Antonioni's self-projection. The photographer is the subject of observation ("seeing"). Through the camera's in-depth analysis, we explore the cultural crisis and deep spiritual emptiness of Western youth groups in this era.
Speculative philosophical meaning, absurd existentialism, and weird scene: the audience listens to the songs of "Idol" dumbly, they pay more attention to the stars themselves, not their works; grabbing broken guitars is only for the process of grabbing, not for grabbing result.
If the non-traditional suspense film says that what the eyes see is not necessarily true, and what is recorded by the camera is not necessarily true, then what is the real benchmark? Is this a fantasy or is it real?
Magical ending - even the camera is involved in this game of nothingness, focusing on the tennis ball that the audience "can't see".
The film focuses more on a man who can't be sure if a homicide happened, rather than a homicide that did.
