The ultimate trick of the master

Before we start talking about today's movie, let's make a small advertisement. The Jambal Master Collection is a good disc. Although it is a d5, it is not worse than the d9 of other brands. Today I watched Antonioni's "Zoom In", another film that left me feeling unfinished. If I have time, I would like to watch it a second time after watching it.
The story of "Zoom" can be summed up very simply. There is a very powerful but very empty photographer who accidentally took a photo of a man and a woman in the park. The woman accidentally discovered it, and then the woman went crazy. Chasing him for those photos, even dedicating themselves to the photographer for the photos.
Speaking of which, do you think this woman is incredible? According to ordinary people's thinking, isn't it just a few photos taken secretly, what's so great, is it worth making such a big sacrifice? If everyone is like this, the people with the license of the third world bookstore have been driven crazy by the people of Haifeng. The male lead feels the same way as we do, so he has a lot of doubts about the photo he took and the mysterious woman, and in the end he just takes a roll of fake negatives to kill the crazy woman. After the woman left, he hurriedly developed the negatives, and zoomed in, zoomed in, zoomed in on some of the details of the photos...
He paid attention to observation, observation, and observation... As a result, he actually found vague gun marks in the bushes , There is really a blurry shadow under the trees that looks like the one drawn by the Impressionist masters. Later, when he was full of suspicion, he visited the park at night, and he found that the vague shadow was the corpse of a man... Seeing this, people who have paid attention to Greille may think: Is this another "peeping" story?
In fact, Antonioni and Greer are breathing out from the same nostril. This is really a "peeping" story. It's just that Griez doesn't tell us what the "peepers" see after the murder, while Antonioni paints what Griet left us to imagine. At this time, the male protagonist was very scared, anxious and hesitant... He couldn't wait to tell his publisher about this, feeling that he and the publisher were obliged to go back to the park to take pictures of the deceased. The strange thing is that the male protagonist has all complicated thoughts, but he doesn't have the idea of ​​calling the police. When he made up his mind to go back to the park to take pictures of the deceased, he took a look -
shit, the body was gone.
As a result, the once-confirmed murder incidents that have appeared in suspense are linked to the literary factor of "uncertainty", and the male protagonist also returns to the emptiness after the brief enrichment brought about by the investigation of the mysterious murder incident. Let's take a look at the various characters around him! There are those who sell their bodies in order to be his models, there are those who are drunk all day long and do drugs for fun, and there are those who fight for the pieces of the guitar smashed by the rock musicians, and there are those who wander around aimlessly... Even the male protagonist himself does not know. So I bought a huge propeller in an antique store, and more directly, the gang of people wandering around played absurdly virtual tennis on the roadside for fun.
Antonioni clearly wanted to tell us that life is just a large collection of unknown so-called, and even the real photos of the world cannot be rational evidence to prove the real existence. At the moment when the male protagonist threw away the camera and picked up that trumped-up tennis ball to compromise with the illusion, Antonioni's ruthless attitude towards life was also exposed. Different from the lingering reverberation of "Days on the Clouds", what "Zoomed in" is acting on my mind at this time: trembling and trembling.
Later, I had some doubts that the "uncertainty" factor mentioned recently was a unique trick of various cultural and artistic methods in the last century. As far as I know, anyone who can come up with such tricks in the field of art is a master.
