Blow-Up (1966)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 11/11

11/11: Okay, there's a photographer who shoots some pictures of a couple having a makeout session.

Then later, it turns out to be a murder by blowing up certain frames on big gloss sheets and discovering the truth. And in the midst of all this, he does nothing about it, and the movie ends. Wow. Consider me enlightened. Not. Basically, it's what Blow-Up is all about.

Honestly, this is a waste of my time. I'm so sick of films that are overpraised. At least, David Hemmings gives a decent performance, and he looks like the original James Spader. By the way, the filmmakers couldn't get The Who for the music scene? Gee, that's a bad imitation of Pete Townshend.

All in all, I've been misled by a combination of the trailer, the positive reviews, and the short description of Blow-Up.
