Special feature of 1905 film network When it comes to hot air balloon, the related words are about love, travel and Turkey.And what if time goes back to Britain in the 1860s? What would it be like? At that time, generations of dreamers set foot on an adventurous hot air balloon in search of the true meaning of science and the universe, regardless of their lives, but finally found a different kind of romance.
The film tells such a story.This film is adapted from a real event and tells the story of a hot air balloon pilot in 1862.AmyLeah rayGrace andMeteorologist james Glaisher boarded a hot air balloon in order to explore the composition of the atmosphere, and experienced a thrilling high-altitude adventure.
The film was nominated for several visual effects awards, including the Best Visual Effects Award at the Academy Awards, because of the spectacular high-altitude display on the hot air balloon. However, some viewers still criticized its changes to historical events, which led to the result that "the hot air balloon was shocking but the aviators were lacking".
This issue of Today’s Film Review specially invited Jin Yuxuan, a teacher of China Communication University, to talk about the film Aeronauts, which was released on November 13th.
This is an adaptation of a real event, but it is not a biography.Jin Yuxuan emphasized that the film’s performance is "not real history". First of all, there were two men sitting in hot air balloons in history, but one of them was replaced by a female balloon adventurer in the film.
Sophie Blanchett, the first professional female balloon pilot, provided some elements for the image design of the heroine in the film, and amelia, the female adventurer and pilot who was the first to fly across the Atlantic in 1932 and accomplished "great feats", was also involved.
"She is a patchwork, a mixture," Jin Yuxuan said.
Secondly, from the adaptation point of view, these two adventurers didn’t have an accident in reality. "They went to work happily and came home safely," Jin Yuxuan said with a smile, "but the audience didn’t buy it."
As a result, the creator replaced one of them with a fictional character, and put more pressure on the two protagonists in the plot. The plight of the protagonists brought "synaesthesia", and the emotional strength and artistic effect that could be achieved were far better than a real historical biography. Therefore, there must be a purpose for the master to make such a choice, rather than doing it at random.
Obviously, this approach did bring some necessary compromises. The hero "Little Freckle" has always been famous for his acting skills, but in this film, his role has little room to play, just because he plays a real historical figure. "He rarely has the awakening, growth and motivation of a real character, and his shortcomings in this respect are even greater than those of an actress," Jin Yuxuan said.
However, what saved the film was the visual impact that seemed real and unreal."Everything they met on the balloon, such as the balloon rising.ChengzhiThe lens looks around the whole of London, from the caseLin WeiFrom the Observatory, the Thames, the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament to Simis Cathedral, this movie has fulfilled a dream for us, "explained Jin Yuxuan.
So, at this time, the audience seems to have inserted wings and flew over those wonderful scenes together, and the impact it brought was far greater than the impact of seeing the ground airport when the plane landed.
What makes these scenes that are almost impossible to see in reality attractive to the audience are IMAX cinemas and CINITY versions. What the audience saw on this trip is already vivid.
In addition to sensory stimulation, the scientific spirit in the film has also touched countless audiences. In fact, from Aeronauts, the screen recorded all kinds of adventures people made for scientific exploration a century and a half ago.Therefore, although this film is not a biography, it tells real events in such a way, which brings infinite imagination to science, the universe and the unknown to the audience.
"Let everyone be interested in something beautiful and spectacular that everyone can accept, and only when people have enthusiasm can they continue to explore," said Jin Yuxuan. In the film, the creator takes adventure as the core story, so that the audience can see how people survived and how people overcame nature in such a difficult situation.
"Aeronauts’s attempt was acceptable to me, and it brought me unexpected joy," Jin Yuxuan said.
