Seulement maintenant je réalise que le son de la scène final est en fait celui d'un pic qui tape sur un arbre ce qu'on imagine être le bruit de la balle invisible.

He picks his camera in the end just like he picked the ball from the grass few seconds earlier - the absence of the real ball makes doubtful the presence of the real camera - and of all that was shot.

The moment at which he involves himself is the moment you can hear the ball.

Unusual movie...really unusual

Pretentious, artsy-farsty, meaningless, rubbish. Antonioni made a boring film and he's taking the mickey in this scene because you were conned into watching until the very end of this tedious dreck.

Perhaps it is a metaphor for art itself. Metaphysics? Sure: as much as Hamlet,
Waiting for Godot, I am my own wife and so on. This film was given the prize of the Cannes Festival in 1967, one year before May of 1968. Yes, something was in the air, a revolution, but at the end a failed revolution.

Antonionis camera work is certainly impressive...he never fails to capture the beauty of his surroundings.
Like most of Antonioni's masterpieces, Blowup tackles metaphysics (the question of what is real) and the theme of existentialism. We are asked to question the validity of this film as a whole, or in parts. Did Thomas really witness a murder in the park, did he really photograph a corpse, does he really see/hear the tennis ball, and finally as he slowly fades away (disappearing into a sea of green), is Thomas real? Antonioni explains that films are lies, perhaps his films are more truthful.

The main thing I think Antonioni is doing with the mimes is all about object and context. The Vanessa Redgrave character steals all his photos and negatives and leaves him with one grossly blown up picture of an object (the body) but without the other pictures as context to the body it is worthless. The mimes are mocking him with the Tennis game because in the mime tennis game there is only context to the game but no object (the ball).
