Michelangelo Antonioni, was an Italian film director, I really like the movie he directed, it’s called “Blow-Up”.

This movie is about a fashion photographer. One day, he went to a park to take pictures. He accidentally took some pictures of a couple dating in the park. Then he went to home and developed the photos. He looked carefully at the pictures, suddenly, he noticed that looked like a dead body in the picture. Then he blow up this picture, but he still couldn’t sure if there’s a dead body in the picture. So he went back to the park at night. He saw the body. He was shocked and he told to his friend. The next day he went to the park again with his friend, but there was no body. He couldn’t believe it.

The highlight of the movie is a tennis match. On this man’s way home, he saw a group of people in strange make-up were playing tennis. But there was no ball. Everyone was so serious, it was like there was a real ball. he stared, and everyone turned to look at him. It was the ball rolled to his feet. Then he picked up the ball and threw it back to the tennis court.

Is there really a body or a ball? we do not know. But if most of people saw this body or ball means there really is a body or ball. It seems the truth doesn’t matter anymore. What is real? What is illusion?

Is there really a body or a ball? We do not know. But, if most of / the majority of people saw this body or that ball it means there really is a body or a ball. It seems the truth doesn’t matter anymore. What is real? What is (only) an illusion?
