   I think that you make overinterpretations...This movie has a kind of aesthetic but that's all for me!
the last scene of the film can eventually suggest a protest against capitalism but not in a constructive way!
I've seen better arguments at screen to struggle against the capitalism system

	The whole thing is about defending the desert (ecology) against a real estate project by denouncing it stongly as the scene shows us the haggling (and "solution for water" ) negociations. Watch it again with this in mind , and you shall be enlightened yourself! Calling this film empty of messages suppose that the onl;y thing you remember is the absurd (but memorable) Sand Sex orgy in Death Valley.
	let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

	Blow-up is rather boring: extra-long scenes that suppose a tension/suspense where there is absolutely almost none, the dead body and no aborted end. The best thing about that movie is the Yardbirds concert with both Beck and Page doing Train Kept A Rollin. I agree, there's probably a depth in it, but the result is quite boring.

	Anybody else come across a web site claiming to have the complete Pink Floyd ZP sessions - sounds like a scam.....
