Made in Hollywood

On December 26, 2010, at a very unusual time, the Christmas holiday in North America had just ended, and the streets and alleys of Los Angeles restored peace again. It was just that in front of an ima cinema in Nokia Plaza, countless people gathered here, even from The long queue in the theater has extended to the square.

"Damn! All the tickets before the new year are sold out!"

At Nokia Plaza, similar complaints continued to sound, and the whole movie was connected.

"Why do you want to start painting by clicking on it?"

"What is Duke doing? I can't figure out why he did it..."

"It is said that the production of the film is in a hurry. The Warner Bros. copy has not been prepared yet, so it can only be screened first."

Listening to these words, Tony Kloss couldn’t help feeling. Fortunately, he knew that there were tickets for the "Gravity" movie to go on sale. He stayed in front of the computer for a long time so that he could grab the ticket from the rush To a ticket for the show.

However, he came late and could only queue slowly in Nokia Plaza.

Not far from Nokia Plaza, another show is also being held. Unlike the others, this is a show specially prepared by Warner Bros. for the academy’s judges and media reporters. Although Duke flew there because of problems with Lucasfilm San Francisco was unable to attend, but the rest of the crew was basically there, and Warner Bros. and Pani Kelly also invited many heavyweights in the academy.

For example, Franco Pearson, although he has stepped down from the position of chairman of the college's rotating committee, no one can ignore his huge influence, especially in some key awards.

And Catherine Kennedy, as a veteran figure in the Producers League, she also has a certain influence and right to speak in many ways.

Then there is the media, such as "Vanity Fair", "Hollywood Reporter", "Entertainment Weekly" and other traditional media that have great influence in the industry. A lot of editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief came.

Sarah, the deputy editor-in-chief of the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times, is among them. To be honest, she is looking forward to this film. I am looking forward to Duke Rosenberg’s customized films or roles for his girlfriend.

"At an altitude of 600 kilometers above the Earth, the temperature fluctuates between +258 degrees and -148 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no medium for sound transmission, no atmospheric pressure, and no oxygen, and life cannot survive in space."

At the beginning of the movie, there is no gorgeous subtitles, just a few letters with black background and white gravity are simply typed with the soundtrack, without any special effects or production effects.

But Sarah has only the most concise feeling that is the best.

The long shot at the beginning of the movie is very beautiful. The azure earth occupies almost the entire field of vision, and there is silence in space, only the action instructions from the walkie-talkie, and the chattering chat of astronaut Kowski. Dr. Stone is restarting the communication card, and Sharifer is changing the battery. Module, everything is going smoothly, the aircraft floats steadily in space, and the astronauts can see the vast universe behind them and the reassuring home earth in front of them. Not everyone has the opportunity to witness such a beautiful scenery.

Through 3d eyes. Tony Kross almost widened his eyes, staring at the big screen of ima in front of him without blinking.

"One thing you have to admit, this view is so beautiful. It's so beautiful."

I didn't know who it was, and suddenly repeated George Clooney's lines, which was simply too accurate.

Unfortunately, this peaceful atmosphere did not last long. The astronauts had to evacuate from the Hubble Telescope. The satellite fragments hit by the missile caused a chain reaction. They were flying towards the direction of the astronauts at high speed, and the fragments spread. To most satellites, the communication between astronauts and the ground may be interrupted at any time, very quickly. The astronaut's naked eye can already see the satellite debris.

At this time, the lens switches quickly. The music also became rush, and the mood of the audience was immediately mobilized.

this moment. Tony Kross felt that the 3D effect was so real, it was as real as those fragments were flying towards him, wanting to pass through his body and through his head, his adrenaline soared instantly, and he couldn't help it. Made a dodge action...

Fortunately, his self-control is relatively strong, and he immediately returned to normal, then he turned his eyes to look around and couldn't help laughing.

The young man on the right was excited to hide from the oncoming debris, the **** the left was vomiting by the 3D effect while watching, the girl behind was already in tears...

“I’m sitting in a wide and dark theater, watching the space station being crushed like bubbles by satellite debris, but I can’t hear any sound in space. Silent music plays. I believe, what I see and hear Yes, it is a magnificent ode to human beings in space, true, sad, calm, and passionate."

When Tony Kross came back to his senses in the silence of space, he found that his tight hands were sweating.

Sarah rarely closes her eyes. The 3D effect is too prominent. Since "Avatar", she has not seen a movie with such a good 3D effect. She has heard that the opening 18 minutes of the movie is unprecedented.

Indeed, the gorgeous scenes in space, and the beautiful messy earth.

She really admires Duke Rosenberg's special effects technology, which can make the movie so real and so beautiful.

The two explosions of space debris made people extremely entertaining, sweating palms and rapid heartbeat, and involuntarily followed 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 Sara feel so helpless. Whether it’s "Jurassic Park", "Anacondas" or "Jaws", they are all on earth, even though they are terrible , But knowing that their feet are stepping 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 loads and run wild like on the earth, no way to escape the protection of the spacesuit, and there is no way to ensure that your companion is always with you and can be built on earth at any time. Come out of a small space to gain a sense of security, but in space, the word "narrow" does not exist. What it has is infinite vastness, boundless despair, regardless of up and down, left and right, difficult to distinguish north, south, east, and north, and it extends infinitely in all directions. In the void, only the quietly floating planet can give the only comfort.

The movie shows these things to the fullest!

Seeing the heroine struggling to survive, Frank Pearson narrowed his eyes slightly. He had no interest in 3D technology or anything, but only focused on the film itself.

The film is more depressing than most of the thriller and horror movies, and even horror movies cannot describe the nervous and desperate mood.

Duke Rosenberg has really achieved a complete exploration of man’s curiosity, so he has to enter such a real space experience and feel the insignificance and helplessness of human beings.

The entire seemingly ordinary space mission has been restored to the limit of reality, and it is because the reality is so real that it will produce a crazy and shocking perception, so that people can truly integrate into the movie and interact with the actors. Share and endure this real and terrible process of abuse together.

This strong sense of substitution makes everyone immersive, swaying in despair in the lonely vast space.

Unlike ordinary movie fans, Frank Pearson believes that the film does not emphasize the listening and watching elements of traditional movie viewing, but to experience the experience and empathize with the process!

Moreover, the 17-minute long shot laid the foundation for the texture and style of the entire film. The shots can be switched freely among the entire earth background, the space station, Scarlett Johansson, and George Clooney. The previous Duke Rosenberg movie was almost unthinkable.

On the other hand, this film is connected with super-difficult long shots at every stage, and it hardly gives people any opportunity to rest and breathe.

Frank Pearson let out a sigh of relief. Duke Rosenberg has finally grown, and finally approached the mainstream of the academy. Isn't this something that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences deserves a big book?

Although there are some 3D technologies that he doesn't want to see, but in front of these, they can be ignored.

Perhaps, is it time to give him more recognition or reward?

I don't know why, Frank Pearson suddenly jumped out of this idea, but he will not make a decision easily, and intends to discuss it with a few old friends.

"Gravity" has undoubtedly achieved a balance between technology and story, showing a series of exciting visual impact in this space escape game that does not give the audience a chance to breathe. Of course, the perfection of the entire film is comprehensive. The suffocating soundtrack almost perfectly matches the urgency of the scene; the compact rhythm of the film without cold scenes.

There is also the heroine, Scarlett Johansson's performance can never be ignored.

Frank Pearson admits this. Scarlett Johansson has contributed to a phenomenal performance. She accurately demonstrated the despair and horror in that kind of claustrophobic space, which is totally worthy of an Oscar nomination.

This is definitely one of the best female characters on the big screen this year!

"Scarlett Johansson's performance was perfect, perfectly showing people the helplessness of being alone in space."

Around Sarah, many entertainment professional media reporters were exchanging views, and this view was recognized by most people.

To a certain extent, the movie basically has no plot. Scarlett Johansson alone supported the whole movie, because most of the time there is no rival scene with others, or a plot to communicate with others. The content expressed in the movie depends entirely on the self-cultivation of the actors.

No wonder James Cameron, who was the first to see, gave such a high evaluation! (To be continued.)
