The acclaimed Italian subversive, leftist "art-house" director Antonioni's previous film to Zabriskie Point was the famed Blow-Up, set in the swinging 60s London Beatlessphere, featuring a Yardbirds concert (minus Eric Clapton). Antonioni was really disgusted and angry with the U.S. when he made Zabriskie Point 1969-70, and it shows in the film's constant social-political commentary. His final scene for the movie was to be a skywriting airplane spraying the words "f*ck YOU AMERICA" in the blue sky over the California desert. Not surprisingly, MGM spiked this. Zabriskie Point is now a cult, classic movie that was often shown on college campuses in the 1980s and 1990s. Here's the famous final scene: following the police shooting murder of her boyfriend, Marxist girl heroine dreams of capitalism's demise as a bomb she may or may not have planted blows up a luxury, deluxe rich boss's house in the desert: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f8DbODGsUM&mode=related&search=Plot summary for Blow-Up (1966) advertisement A successful mod photographer in London whose world is bounded by fashion, pop music, marijuana, and easy sex, feels his life is boring and despairing. But in the course of a single day he accidentally captures on film the commission of a murder. The fact that he has photographed a murder does not occur to him until he studies and then blows up his negatives, uncovering details, blowing up smaller and smaller elements, and finally putting the puzzle together. Written by alfiehitchie A London fashion photographer frolics with young models, then meets the mysterious Vanessa Redgrave. He takes a photo in a park. Back in his darkroom as he enlarges it, he sees a suggestion of something in the photo he never noticed while taking it. Has a crime occurred? Written by Dale O'Connor {daleoc@interaccess.com}
