Chapter 776: This Scenery Is Too Beautiful
On December 26, 2010, a very ordinary time, the Christmas holiday in North America has just ended, and the streets of Los Angeles have returned to a peaceful place, but in front of an IMAX theater in Nokia Plaza, countless people have gathered here, and even the long queue from the theater has extended to the square.

"Damn! All tickets were sold out before the New Year! ā
In Nokia Plaza, similar complaints continue to sound, and they have been connected in a whole area.
"Why do you want to open a picture in the form of a point screening?"
"What is Duke doing? I can't figure out why he did this......"
"It is said that the production of the film was in a hurry, and the copy of Warner Bros. has not yet been prepared, so it can only be screened in the form of an on-demand screening."
Listen to these words, Tony? Close couldn't help but sigh, thanks to his foresight, he learned that there were "Gravity" movie tickets to be sold, so he stayed in front of the computer for a long time, so that he could grab a ticket for the screening from the surging ticket buying boom.
However, he arrived a little late and could only queue up slowly in Nokia Plaza.
Not far from Nokia Plaza, another screening is also being held, unlike others, this is a special screening prepared by Warner Bros. for the academy's judges and media reporters, although Duke flew to San Francisco because of Lucasfilm's problems and could not attend, but the rest of the main creative staff of the crew are basically there, and Warner Bros. and Pani? Kelis also invited a number of heavyweights from the academy.
Like Franco? Pearson, despite stepping down from his position as chairman of the Academy's rotating committee, has been able to ignore his enormous influence, especially in a number of key awards.
And Catherine? Kennedy, as a veteran figure in the Producers League, also has a certain influence and voice in many aspects.
Then there are the media, such as "Vanity Fair", "The Hollywood Reporter", "Entertainment Weekly" and other traditional media that are very influential in the industry. There are quite a few editors-in-chief or associate editors-in-chief.
Sarah, the deputy editor of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, was among them, and to be honest, she was very much looking forward to the film. Looking forward to Duke? What is Rosenberg's movie or role for his girlfriend.
"At an altitude of 600 kilometers above the Earth, the temperature fluctuates between +258 degrees Fahrenheit and -148 degrees Fahrenheit. Without a medium to transmit sound, without atmospheric pressure, without oxygen, life cannot survive in space. ā
At the beginning of the movie, there are no gorgeous subtitles, just accompanied by the soundtrack, a few letters of gravity are simply typed in white on a black background, without any special effects, production effects.
But Sarah has only one that is the most concise that is the best feeling.
The long takes at the beginning of the movie are very beautiful. The blue earth occupies almost the entire field of vision, there is silence in space, only the action mission instructions from the walkie-talkie, and the chatter of astronaut Kowalsky, Dr. Stone is restarting the communication card, Charifer is changing the battery module, everything is going well, the aircraft is floating steadily in space, the astronauts can see the vast universe behind them and the reassuring home of the earth in front of them, but not everyone has the opportunity to witness such a beautiful scenery.
Through the 3D eye. Tony? Cross's eyes almost widened, staring at the IMAX big screen in front of him without blinking.
"One thing you have to admit is that the view is beautiful. Beautiful. ā
I don't know who it was, and suddenly repeated George? Clooney's lines are simply too accurate.
Unfortunately, this peaceful atmosphere did not last long, the astronauts had to evacuate from the Hubble telescope, and the satellite debris hit by the missile caused a chain reaction, which was flying at high speed in the direction of the astronauts, and the debris spread to most of the satellites, and the astronauts' communication with the ground could be interrupted at any time, very soon. Astronauts can already see satellite debris with the naked eye.
At this point, the lens quickly switches. The music also became rapid, and the audience's emotions were mobilized at once.
This moment. Tony? Cross felt that the 3D effect was so real, as if those pieces were flying towards him, trying to pass through his body and through his head, his adrenaline soared instantly, and he couldn't help but dodge......
Fortunately, his self-control was relatively strong, and he immediately returned to normal, and then turned his eyes to look in all directions, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.
The young man on the right excitedly dodged the oncoming debris, the girl on the left was vomited by the 3D effect when she looked at it, and the girl in the back was already in tears......
"As I sat in the vast and dark auditorium, watching the space station shattered like foam by satellite debris, and no sound could be heard in space, silent music played, I believed, what I saw, what I heard, was a magnificent ode to human space, real, pathetic, calm, and hot."
When Tony? Cross came back to his senses in the silence of space, and found a handful of sweat in his clenched palms.
Sarah closed her eyes rarely, the 3D effect was so prominent, she hadn't seen a film with such a good 3D effect since "Avatar", and she had heard that the first 18 minutes of the movie were an unprecedented feeling.
Indeed, gorgeous scenes from space, and a beautiful mess of Earth.
Does she really admire Duke? Rosenberg's special effects technology can make the movie so real and so beautiful.
The explosion of two space debris makes people extremely into the play, watching the sweaty palms and heartbeat, and involuntarily following the lonely heroine to escape from this dark and boundless space, worrying about her fate.
I have to say that there are few disaster movies that make Sarah feel so helpless, whether it is "Jurassic Park", "Anaconda Disaster" or "Jaws", they are all on Earth, although they are terrible, but they know that with their feet on the ground, there must be a group of people fighting side by side behind them.
However, in space, everything is different, there is no way to throw away all the weight and run wild like on the earth, there is no way to get rid of the protection of the spacesuit, and there is no way to even ensure that your companions are with you all the time, and you can create a small space on the earth at any time to gain a sense of security, but in space, there is no such thing as "small", it is just infinite vastness, boundless despair, no distinction between up and down, left and right, difficult to distinguish from south, south, north, west, and all directions are infinitely extending voids, Only the quietly floating planet can give the only solace.
The movie shows these almost vividly!
Seeing the heroine struggling to survive, Frank? Pearson narrowed his eyes slightly, he wasn't interested in 3D technology or anything like that, he was only interested in the film itself.
The film is more depressing than most thriller horror films, and even horror movies can't describe the tense and desperate mood.
Duke? Rosenberg really achieved the complete exploration of people's curiosity, so that he had to completely enter such a real space experience, and felt the insignificance and helplessness of human beings.
The entire seemingly ordinary space mission has been restored to the extreme level, and it is precisely because it is so real that it can be added to the extreme, that people can experience a crazy and shocking look, so that people can truly integrate into the movie, share and bear this real and terrible masochistic process with the actors.
This strong sense of substitution allows everyone to be immersed in the scene, swaying desperately in the lonely vastness of space.
Unlike those regular movie fans, Frank? Pearson believes that the film is not more about emphasizing the elements of listening and watching in traditional movie-watching, but about putting yourself in the shoes of the experience, to empathize with the process!
And the opening 17-minute long shot lays the foundation for the texture and style of the whole film, with the camera in the background of the entire Earth, the space station, Scarlett? Johnson, George. Clooney switches freely, this way of switching lenses, in the previous Duke? Almost unthinkable in Rosenberg's films.
On the other hand, this film is connected with super difficult long shots at every stage, giving people almost no chance to rest and breathe.
Frank? Pearson exhaled lightly, Duke? Rosenberg has finally grown and is finally getting closer to the mainstream of the academy, is this one of the things that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences deserves to write about?
Although there is still 3D technology that he doesn't like to see, but in front of these, it can be ignored.
Perhaps, it's time to give him more recognition or rewards?
Don't know why, Frank? Pearson suddenly had such a thought, but he would not make a decision lightly, and planned to discuss it with a few old friends.
Gravity undoubtedly strikes a balance between technology and story, presenting a series of intense visual impacts in this space escape game that doesn't give the audience a chance to breathe. Of course, the perfection of the whole film is comprehensive, and the suffocating soundtrack almost perfectly matches the urgency of the scene; Tight and uncooled film rhythm.
And the heroine, Scarlett? Johnson's performance is definitely impossible to ignore.
Frank? Pearson admits it, Scarlett? Johnson delivered a phenomenal performance, and she accurately showed the despair and horror in that claustrophobic space, and she fully deserved an Oscar nomination.
This is definitely one of the best female characters on the big screen this year!
"Scarlett? Johnson's performance was perfect, showing people the helplessness of being alone in space. ā
Around Sarah, many reporters from entertainment professional media were exchanging views, and this view was shared by the vast majority of people.
To a certain extent, the movie can basically be said to have no plot, completely Scarlett? Johnson single-handedly holds up the whole movie, because most of the time there is no rivalry with others, or a plot to communicate with others, and the content expressed in this film is completely dependent on the self-cultivation of the actors.
Is it any wonder that James was the first to be seen? Cameron can give such a high rating! (To be continued.) )
