I remember watching this as a teenager, I don't remember a thing about the movie, but this scene was scared into my memory as if there is no way to remove it. And weird thing, I couldn't find the movie up until now, so I'll finally be watching it again tonight.
For me, this scene depicts the merge of art with reality. At some point, you're just part of the game in which it's hard to tell one from the other. And the irony in his face in knowing this.
this is a great end scene. its suggested that hes been seeing things that aren't there..the tennis ball..the murder 'evidence' within the photographs. it makes you question the whole film and what you (and he) believed had been happening
That is not my interpretation. And I saw this movie eleven times. Then I took it to the some sudentes of art and it was showed at the collete with devate at the end. Nobody has this understanding. Maybe yours is the correct one. Ours was the opposite. He was the only one who could see the truth. He only pretended he saw the tennis ball. But he left leaving them playing. And he took his camera back to keep on showing the truth with his camera. Anyway, the curiostity in most art movies from those days is that we could see ithem in different ways.
Wow you cut off the most important part of all of this -when he disappears. This is about accepting the lies of a false/clown world. Once you do, your humanity/reality is stripped and you just disappear into meaninglessness, becoming nothing more than that of the imaginary clown world you occupy. Truth/the reality of your existence is destroyed and vanishes. Hard to believe so many misunderstood this. Andrew klavan had a great commentary on this very topic yesterday.
It is so ambigious it could be anything. There is so much life and vibrance in the film yet the story is about death, all these things that go on to distract us from the main thread and the mystery surrounding it. Then there is this light hearted reality check that it is all unreal.
It seems to me a dismal end. These mimes playing tennis with a ball that not makes noise until It returns them. As making a covenant with them, ok is real. like life.
the final scene really is the greatest of the movie. to get there, you need a little breath and some scenes are weird or seemingly nonsense. but, maybe theres some sense in it, its not like we are able to understand everybody and every language. to think like that would be very snobbish, indeed. sorry for calling you honk, if it means anything bad :)
Genial. Une el principio con el final, cuando no vemos la realidad del hombre asesinado y la algarabía ante la vida que no entendemos y no nos importa. Palma de Oro, para la Gran Bretaña en 1968.
Min 3:33 IMHO, we finally hear the game because the artist (Antonioni) has now become part of a certain system (ref : Antonioni's deal with MGM?) and some kind of truth has been revealed (Antonioni's camera follows the imaginary ball) ... a truth so juxtaposed to art, that the artist slowly disintegrates.
UK viewers of a certain age might find fun in knowing that the actor (Julian Chagrin) playing the male ‘tennis player’ in this famous scene from Blow Up, a few years later, went on to star in a 1970’s Lemonade commercial as ‘The Secret Lemonade Drinker’.
Muy actual. Así somos y así estamos, aún, en el confinamiento de la pandemia. No aprendemos, ni siquiera porque rezamos el Padre Nuestro o el Hare Krishna.
Нет. Скорее всего как здесь. Были и попытки рационально обьяснять. Но, тоже ничего хорошего. Надо было по мнению некоторых оглоедов "прервать" очевидную связь с некими институтами. Потом постарше поняли, полный бред. В партии были суровые законы в таких случаях. История музыки просто много потеряла.
Ok sorry I called you a snob, if you like the movie that's ok, the two scenes I do like are those by day and night at the grassy clearing. I tried to watch this film many times and managed it once. I don't think the ending is meant to be taken seriously, it seems like a joke from the director.
No I have good taste in films & mainstream entertainment doesn't really interest me much & I have even made my own as an alternative to mainstream TV. This film is slow, dated and deeply pretentious. There is no message. I think the tennis match at the end is a real creative kick in the nuts, but quite funny when you think it's the director's joke for everybody who made it to the end of this empty meaningless film. At least I'm not a snob like you.

Pure Antonioni about what that and what l'm doing here.

An utterly sublime ending. Culminating in that beautiful last symbolic shot from above.

I don't really think Thomas fading out at the end really signifies anything. The clowns certainly didn't disappear with him. Or have they?

Well said.
Very positive scene for me. He finally believed.
Really love this film. Great scene. Really enjoy the commentary on the annotated DVD.
great camera work
Indeed
Masterpiece
It seems to me a dismal end.
These mimes playing tennis with a ball that not makes noise until It returns them.
As making a covenant with them, ok is real.
like life.
Most of actors were good and this scene is perfect
Nothing but love for this movie. This scene turned me as white as a ghost.
Gracias a este video ahora quiero estudiar, una carrera de verdad gracias

One of best ends i 've seen in a movie
🎨 Art and being really young and cool😎
there's a lot more. just bc you cannot see them doesn't mean people didn't 'comment' in any sort of way
Sólo el rumor del viento atestigüará las huellas que dejemos en la realidad ,,, ,,, ,,, ,,, ,

este video me dió ganas de seguir estudiando y no dedicarme al cine
The male mime playing tennis looks like " Data" from star trek next generation....lol

Palma de Oro para Antonioni.
Brilliant film

ok
Nah
@@iddotamir4261 I think the entire film is about JFK.

who cares
L'art!
What was chopped off? I've seen the film several times.
i can't believe there's only two comments for this!
Great role of Roberto Mancini.
Definitely a young Mancini
The most “OK boomer” scene, ever.
Blow Up Noah! 2023😂.

Loved it when the bartender in SLACKER took the piss on this scene.
link?
Just watched this movie tonight for the first time. Something really haunting about this scene. I'll definitely be thinking about it for a while.
Moc jsem si neužil
Нет. Скорее всего как здесь.

Chi qui dopo skam italia 5?
inoubliable !
Da brividi. You should get a bit of philosophy and European culture to get the meaning. It is about the struggle to rellay get to know the reality

your criticism is incredibly if not ironically self-reflective. No one escapes his own personal prison.
Sorry for you.
