Section 324 Silent spectacle
The charm of the movie may have different results with different shooting methods, but what is more important than that at this time is the funeral itself.
Looking at the funeral, the relatives of the buried people are there, and almost everyone who has watched the first part knows that the deceased is the dead man physicist who did not appear at all in the first part, but affected the three main lines. And the person who presided over her funeral was her mother, the female scientist who had proven to be anti-human, and in this cemetery, there were other people who attended the funeral, and in a flash, people seemed to see Paul playing the game in the first part.
However, in this one, he is no longer the protagonist.
And since it was a funeral, the time was obviously returned to before the start of the first part. At this time, the earth's three-body organization has not yet been exposed, and the aliens have not yet revealed their minions. So, what is the purpose of filming this period?
The funeral is coming to an end, and the people who come to the funeral are saying goodbye to their mothers one by one, and soon, people also find out that the person who should be the protagonist of this movie, little Robert. Downey.
It's just that he doesn't look particularly good. It looked as if he had just gotten drunk and wasn't quite sober. It can be said that it is very rude to participate in the funeral with this appearance, and even Susanna, who is a mother, couldn't help but ask when she saw him, who is he.
"I know your daughter, and I'm also a university teacher...... Oh no, I'm not a physics student, I'm a sociologist. ”
The sociologist played by Downey shook hands with Suzanne and talked, and Suzanne immediately noticed his identity, "Sociologist? I didn't know that my daughter had sociologist friends. ”
His identity attracted Suzanne's attention: although sociology and physics are both scientists, they are not closely related sciences, and this identity is indeed a bit strange.
"Not friends either. It's colleagues, we used to be together, trying to do some projects. It's just some boring topic that I've brought up -- I used to imagine what the social relations between other civilizations in the universe would look like, and I asked her about it. She helped me add some of the scientific set-ups, such as the chain of suspicion and the explosion of technology......"
Sociologists who talk about it all seem to be talking only about their careers. But. To the ears of the audience, his career seems not so ordinary. The relationship between the Trisolarans and humans is the most important thing in this movie, and here, there is a person who has studied these long before the crisis on Earth. More importantly, he was helped by dead scientists, who everyone knew had a very unusual identity on this issue.
Don't. That's the most important part of the movie puzzle?
The old woman, who seemed to have lost her daughter, also listened very carefully, but she could see it. Her face gradually took on a solemn color.
Almost everyone knows that this old woman is not a simple figure. What is it that can make her so moved?
This question. At this time, the camera moves. Again on the tombstone, on the tombstone, handwriting also appeared.
Three-Body Problem 2 - the official title of the film, appears here at this time.
If the funeral at the beginning of the film is a small hint for people, then the next part directly makes the audience feel excited.
The screen of the movie went black, and then a glimmer began to appear. From the depth of the light, people can feel that what is being filmed now is already a cosmic scene, and soon, a planet also appears in people's eyes.
The planet is almost blue, and moreover, the patterns on it are also very familiar to people. At the same time, in people's ears, the sound of pumping and breathing in the astronaut's costume sounded, and this shot turned out to be in space, looking down on the earth from the perspective of an astronaut!
The beginning of the movie starts in the universe, which is somewhat unexpected for the audience. However, the scene of the space station quickly attracted the audience.
The camera opened again, and it was already in full view of the space station. And people barely notice that this shot is basically a long and long shot editing, and no close-up shots are used. People who were still immersed in the magnificence of the earth were immediately attracted by the appearance of the space station.
According to the conversations of the astronauts, it was quickly learned that the mission of this space station was to build an accelerator in the universe in an attempt to avoid Tomoko's surveillance and contribute to human science.
The role and mission of this space station seem to be somewhat different from the real space station on Earth today. It can even be said that it is already quite sci-fi. This also tells people that this story is no longer a story in the existing scientific and technological environment on the earth from the beginning, in the story, some of the technology of human beings to the Trisolaran has also achieved a technological leap, and the ability to explore the universe has also been enhanced.
This space station is proof of this.
Such a shot is not surprising, the appearance of the space station is supposed to be the normal beginning of a science fiction film, but when they see this shot, people feel a little strange.
This strange feeling is that this shot is really real.
This kind of reality does not mean that the black technology space station that appears in this shot is very real, but that the scenes of those characters in the space station that appear in this shot are very real.
There aren't many scenes of these people, they are just busy inside the space station, and the helper spacecraft lands. However, this seemingly simple action has very well shaped a state of weightlessness, which has never appeared in many movies in the past.
Observing the earth through the subjective perspective of astronauts, the state of astronauts filmed in the universe, and the real state of weightlessness are the problems of many films.
I didn't expect to be able to see such a shot in a movie.
And almost all the viewers have also noticed another very important problem: in the picture of this cosmic scene, there is no sound in the whole shot.
Of course, this is not the reason for the editing failure, because when you look down from the subjective perspective of the astronauts, the sound of the film is excellent. The breathing and pumping sounds in the spacesuit can be done well, and it is impossible to do the simple whoosh sound of a spaceship flying. However, there is no sound here, which can only show that the director deliberately did not want sound.
This part has made many people understand something: there is a vacuum in the universe, and sound cannot be transmitted in the universe, so this cosmic scene is naturally without sound.
This kind of thing is easy to figure out, but it still arouses the interest of many people: there are many cosmic scenes in science fiction movies, but there are not many that can achieve the silent effect that should be in the real cosmic environment - more science fiction movies have chosen to let the cannon rumble in the space scene in order to achieve spectacular effects.
In fact, there is nothing bad about this kind of magnificence, but the silence in front of us at this time is a magnificence in another sense - the magnificence of the universe, which does not need to be set off by some objects such as cannons.
Perhaps, this movie should really be considered better to watch in 3D mode.
Only in 3D mode can you feel the magnificence of such a scene.
Before this shot, for many audiences, 3D and IMAX, after all, are still very new things, and many people still don't recognize them, and the more expensive ticket prices also determine that the audience will be willing to try this kind of thing easily. However, through the movie screen, the audience can know whether such a movie is really worth watching in 3D mode.
If it is in 3D mode, such a cosmic scene is intuitively presented in front of you, as if you are in the universe. Through the lens, I feel as if I am really like an astronaut, standing in space, looking down on the earth - such a three-dimensional scene is something that most people cannot experience once in a lifetime, and it is also appropriate to try it in 3D to have such an opportunity.
Looking at the 2D version of the movie, many people are also thinking about whether they should go to see the 3D version. Yes, it's true that the 3D version of the movie ticket is more expensive, but if there are a lot of these shots in the whole movie, it doesn't seem unworth even spending a little extra money.
A good movie can really make people feel the difference between 3D and 2D - not all 3D movies are for money.
While the audience was making calculations, it was the physicist who appeared in the first part who stepped down from the spaceship. And the person who greeted him immediately asked questions.
"Can't the accelerator in the universe escape Tomoko's surveillance?"
This question can be said to be asked to people's hearts. After the end of the first part, people have been discussing it all the time, and one of the most important of these discussions is whether it is possible for human physics to avoid the surveillance of Tomoko.
After all, there is only one Zhizi, so can't humans avoid his surveillance by building more accelerators?
This idea has been discussed a lot, and some people believe that this is the best way for mankind to win, but this idea has been directly proposed from the very beginning.
As a movie fan, many people know very well that the plan that was taken out early cannot be the final answer. Otherwise, if it is done in 30 minutes, it is called a sci-fi short film.
"No, you can't escape the surveillance."
Sure enough, the answer given by the physicist is the same. And this answer is tantamount to abolishing some of the methods that people are discussing in the first place - then, what is the method prepared by the film director? (To be continued......)
