Movie #206 Blow Out *1981*

Movie #180 was the first time I watched Brian De Palma's Blow Out.  That review is lacking a little, but I was short on time then just like I am now.  So one of these day I will better be able to accentuate what it is I love about this film.  Until then here are my 3 Reason to watch Blow Out.

Reason 1.  The 360 degree shot in the film storage room.

Reason 2.  Hitchcock would be proud.

Reason 3.  John Travolta playing it straight.  Easily his best performance (and that is saying something)

Here are 3 more:

Reason 4.  The chase sequence and fireworks scene.

Reason 5.  The opening B movie and both it's steadycam shots.

Reason 6. The editing during the editing in the film. 

Blow Out really is a master at the height of his craft.  This is his Mona Lisa.

I give Blow Out ★★★★1/2.
