This pictures makes me think about those movies made like half of decade ago. Those kind of movies where the actors were wearing funny tshirts and they had no clue about how to actually act in something like this. I seldom watch a movie like that because I like to compare it with a movie recently made.

I was 18 in 1968 when i first watched Blow up.At the time i thought it was a bit rubbish.Since then i have watched it 6 times and have come to the conclusion that the underlying theme in this film is that he witnessed a political murder.Remember the guy that shadowed him in the town?,was he MI5?.How did Jane know where his studio was.Was she MI5?.Also the telephone number she gave Thomas was wrong…Dead End ?.And then when he returns to his studio all evidence of the murder had been removed.Was the murdered man in the park a foreign spy that needed to be eliminated ?.Lonely park, man and woman flirting, man gets shot and all witnessed by the fashion photographer who thought he would do a spot of shooting(pardon the pun) as he left the antiques shop….

Nice. I watched Blow Up recently and was struck by the pacing — surprisingly slow for the period. An odd movie, but certainly worth a re-watch.
