Photographer Thomas secretly took a group of photos about a lover's date in a park in London. Later, the woman in the photo desperately wanted these negatives, which aroused Thomas's suspicion. Thomas kept Enlarge the photos, and finally believed that he saw a body and a man with a gun in the photos, and he seemed to have found evidence of the murder scene. Thomas tried to expose the murder based on the vague evidence in the photos, but to no avail. At this time, his workplace was ransacked, and the photos disappeared. Thomas originally believed that technological inventions, such as photography, could enable him to obtain and conquer reality, so he was addicted to it. Later, he finally discovered that the relationship between reality and its replicas, as well as people's illusions about the latter, is uncertain. At the end, the students performed an imaginary tennis match, and Thomas had a certain enlightening effect. For the performers, the imaginary tennis ball is of course "real", just as the image in the photographs used as evidence is probably just a fantasy for Thomas. The performance of the students became a symbol of Thomas' thoughts, and Thomas no longer tried to distinguish the boundary between reality and fantasy. He imagined the tennis ball was out of bounds, picked it up and threw it back to the students. When Thomas picked up the imaginary ball, he did not put down his camera. For him, the boundary between reality and its replicas and people's fantasy does not exist.

It is undoubtedly his favorite Antonioni, and it is also his own transformation to go abroad (seeing the impact of the environment on people). From the perspective of human sociology to the philosophical level, the truth gradually blurs and disappears in the process of zooming in on the photos. The middle part is almost silent, and the story is told entirely through the lens. Make people applaud.

Whether it is an Italian or an English film, Antonioni is talking about the same theme: the impossibility of human communication. To reinforce this, Antonioni even uses some symbolic characters very strongly. But students, the most important point of zooming in is to write a typical big structure story into a typical small structure. How did he do it? If you want to restore it to a large structure, how should you write it?
