"Zoom" is a story of "coincidence" and "curiousness"

I don't know why watching Antonioni's feature films, I can't always connect with the director of the documentary "China", and I often have doubts: "Is it really the same director?" "Zoom" is a "coincidence" and "curious" story. The photographer's life is not the norm in our lives. Thomas' "curiosity" is the driving force for the progress of the story. The biggest suspense of the film - "corpse" did not do anything Positive answer. Instead, the performance art that "simulates" playing tennis absurdly like a dream is used as the absurd ending, insinuating the "entire event".

    Strange look and feel can be said to be terrifying when thinking about it and making a fool of yourself. 1. When the male protagonist planned the album with Ron in the restaurant, he said that it would end with a park, and that he wanted a quiet feeling after violence. 2. The first scene has a strong sexual connotation. The characters in the first half are in a dominant position of power and constantly offend the surrounding, but after being amplified, they are passive to the truth and are also suppressed by the surrounding. 3. Frame composition Dafa, door seam, glass, window leaf, triangle, etc., highlight the meaning of watching/spying. 4. The white-faced silent film characters create tennis balls with motion, which is then delivered by the photographer, and the sound is created outside the painting. 5. Guitar, Paris and Tennis seem to imply that confirmation of reality is subject to conformity and no longer has absolute truth. 6. Women say that photos of corpses look like paintings, and what they own is really artistic. This also corresponds to the paradox of photography. It is impossible to seek truth, and art is favored. 7. Mysterious intruders, dangerous bushes, dimmed signs, dream or fake, Hitchcock or David Lynch? The incomplete information makes the film like a photo, with shadowy traces, trapping us in the pursuit of truth. Antonioni says the scene where the protagonist disappears amounts to his 'signature'

    To put it aside, Antonioni has a good fashion taste.
