The image of those fireworks that burst in dazzling colors behind John and Nancy, as the camera turns around them and this music plays gently over it, is one of the most beautiful scenes I have seen in any movie. Brian DePalma, Pino Donaggio and Vilmos Zsigmond are all geniuses of their craft, and they all worked together on this film and made something truly special.
crackerman3772 I like that they killed her off, not because I wanted her to die, but it's a much more real ending than the typical "hero saves the day" thing.
The essential theme of Blow Out is an average man's indignation at being crushed by an uncaring system, one that has let him down repeatedly and yet he still struggles against injustice; when he loses Sally, all of that remaining fight drains away from a totally disillusioned and beaten Jack. At the culmination, in his career as a sound expert, all he is left with is fulfilling his job by providing the perfect scream to a cheesy film. Tragedy is multiplied by the horror that he rescued her once but ultimately could not save her. This is a remarkable story and an utterly brilliant film.
The thumbnail in this video is actually a photo of Nancy Allen as Liz from Dressed To Kill. I consider Blow Out to be a kind of spiritual cousin to Dressed To Kill. Both movies deal with doomed women and the broken men who try to save them and redeem themselves in the process. But in Jack's case, he failed to save Sally where Peter succeeded in saving Liz.
This melody is so hauntingly beautiful; by the finale of the film l can recall tears streaming down my face and this music provided an utterly beautiful backdrop. Riveting.
I never knew the name or performer of this song. Its not listed at IMDb. But its in a snippet on Death Proof and I ran with that info and here I am! Tah-Dah! Seriously... thanks for posting this.
Ironically, the image of Nancy Allen in this video is actually from Dressed To Kill, not Blow Out. The irony is that Keith Gordon's character, Peter, succeeded in saving Liz, where John Travolta's character, Jack, failed to save Sally.
Aveces suelo imaginar que le pasa esto a mi esposa, a la cual amo con toda mi vida y creo que no lo soportaría y moriría junto a ella. ... Aun que estamos separados siempre la amaré después de 14 años juntos...aun la sigo amando con todo mi corazón Aun que ella jamas lo sabrá quedara en el recuerdo olvidado...... Te extraño mi querida esposa V D J U C .......
I think Pino Donaggio 's music theme to the soundtrack of his masterpeice starring. of course my favs, JOHN TRAVALTA w/ MISS NANCEY ALLEN would kick anyone's ass. Huh, make that complete ass in case Miss Kim iswatchin'
Paul Dante Yep, Nancy was great in all of the DePalma films she was in. Caine was great in Dressed To Kill as well. Sean Connery was originally approached to do the role, but turned it down.
The one problem with the ending of Blow Out is that Brian DePalma broke Alfred Hitchcock's "bomb theory" rule about building suspense, which is that you can set up the audience to know that a bomb is about to explode so that they freak out in anticipation, but under no circumstances can you allow the bomb to actually go off. The ending of Blow Out let the bomb go off.
Yeah, but it did leave you with a "Vertigo" ending of it's own. Blow Out left the audience in shock with it's fantastic shot of the actors in the foreground and the fireworks in the background. While the camera was going around them. Then, it shows you the shortest of warp up of sub-plot that becomes part of the main story. What a huge pay off at the end. A short epilogue, if you will.
I thought the scream was a bit much too. But it's impact to the main character changes everything. He was trying to do the right thing. He got the bad guy, but at what cost. Sally's life. Jack is going to carry that weight for the rest of his life. He missed his chance to exposes the real culprits. The footage was destroyed and what does he have left. The blow out and Sally's scream. In the end, Jack has to go on with his life. Return to his job and find the scream. He uses the scream keep his only job left. The only thing he is good at. Going back to where the film started. This is how Brian De Palma sold me with the scream.
Yeah, I get all of that. I do love the movie, but it's a difficult one for me to watch because of the ending. Body Double was depressing at times as well. De Palma really seemed to be in a negative mood around that period of time.
And that's what good about Blow Out. It left you feeling something. He left you feeling what the character feels. I got to say, only a few directors out there can leave you with that. Especially the ending. He took a big risk with that ending. I praise him for taking that risk. I completely understand where you are coming from.

+Existential Dread She dies. DePalma should have made it so Jack saves her.

@@robertyeah2259 TBH, her character was too stupid to live.

Totally agree!

Mr. Robot gave me more beautiful songs than any other series ever ❣️
Same here ❣
This melody is so hauntingly beautiful; by the finale of the film l can recall tears streaming down my face and this music provided an utterly beautiful backdrop. Riveting.
Beautiful music, it touches the soul.
It is beautifful
Pino Donaggio makes blessed music. This theme is fanastic, so sad, but with a great spirit inside. Thanks

Cette musique est liée pour toujours au seul chagrin d'amour que j'ai vécu.
Enormemente struggente e solitario..... One of the best music soundtracks
ブライアン・デ・パルマ監督
出演
ジョン・トラボルタ
ナンシー・アレン
この曲は映画史に残る、恐ろしく、美しく、そして切ないラストシーンに流れる曲です。
映像とこの音楽、本当に私はこんなに美しいラストシーンを他に知りません。
サスペンス映画としてとても面白く、きっと気に入ってもらえると思います。
I never knew the name or performer of this song. Its not listed at IMDb. But its in a snippet on Death Proof and I ran with that info and here I am! Tah-Dah! Seriously... thanks for posting this.
Death Proof. Thank you. Just finished watching Blow Out and knew I heard the music from somewhere before. Death Proof.
Une musique intemporelle que j'aimerai toute ma vie...

Who's knows the name of this song that plays at the end I have to know please
The End was so Sad🥵 I Was Hoping she would have made it.
Enfin trouvé ! Sa joue dans Death Proof
Same actress that we hated in Carrie with John Travolta.
I think Pino Donaggio 's music theme to the soundtrack of his masterpeice starring. of course my favs, JOHN TRAVALTA w/ MISS NANCEY ALLEN would kick anyone's ass. Huh, make that complete ass in case Miss Kim iswatchin'
"Capitalist pig!"
Am I the first Mr. Robot comment here? Wow
Bonsoir Eliot
I’m here from Mr. Robot!
Hmmmm.... the pic of Nancy Allen in this vid isn't from Blow Out at all, it's actually from Dressed To Kill.
Dressed to Kill, another great Brian Depalma movie. Love Michael Cain too.
Paul Dante Yep, Nancy was great in all of the DePalma films she was in. Caine was great in Dressed To Kill as well. Sean Connery was originally approached to do the role, but turned it down.
Exactly!

True, Vertigo's ending was tragic and divisive as well. Using Sally's scream on the horror movie soundtrack was a bit much, though. It was depressing.
