Movie Reviews of Blow Up
Movie Review: Blow Up
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film when I was 16 as it was a recent release. That was around 1966 or so. It influenced me so much that I followed the career yearnings I gained from it and after two college degress in Photography ( B.F.A., M.A.) I opened my studio in 1971. I have had a great career traveling the world producing images for a whole range of clients.
The mystery of the murder and the end of the movie really tell the story of photography. You can see it, but you must live the experience of involvement to understand. I will forever appreciate this film. It was a directional moment at first sight.

Summary: 5 Stars
Art film,(even the name suggests the pop art culture of the times) which still maintains a narrative drama, designed by mystery and suspense. Although the filmmaker is Italian, the film is primarily a British film production, and also influenced by filmmaker's of the French New Wave, like Truffaut and Godard. Not to mention the Hollywood elements of the film, that resemble Hitchcock's take, on this particular genre. All in all, an interesting film, told in a somewhat unique way. The film relies heavily upon the visual elements, because the film is partly about perspective or point of view.Movie Review: Blow-Up
Summary: 5 Stars
Antonioni's existential mystery scandalized some in the 1960s with its cool, casually erotic atmosphere of sex and drugs, but still made a sizeable dent at the box office. In addition to the film's central puzzle--was there a homicide or not?--Hemmings himself is a kind of cipher, playing a detached, unsmiling artist bored with his decadent life. With its mod flavorings and occasional surrealist touches--like a pantomime tennis game--"Blow-Up" is an intriguing, unconventional thriller that makes you question the nature of reality and illusion.Movie Review: unreasonably hated
Summary: 5 Stars
if one takes the three seconds to examine the reviews written by the haters of this film, their argumentative fallacy precipitates easily: their argument is completely ad-hominem. they either attack the viewer of the film or the creators of the film. there is no substance as to why the film itself is bad or pretentious, too existential etc. usually when people fall upon the ad-hominem fallacy, they are really naming problems that they have with themselves and then project them upon the thing that spurns that discomfort.Movie Review: blow up
Summary: 5 Stars
i was blown away by this movie when i saw it in the sixties amd it has remained one of my all time favorites. Antonioni taught me a valuable lesson with this film, i.e., the indifference of humanity to human suffering. Antonioni's technique of revealing the murder through Hemming's blow ups is masterful and surprising. I couldn't stay out of my dark room after seeing this movie, hoping that my own blow ups would reveal some shocking secret. I highly recommend it. (The sex scenes aren't bad either.)
