这部片子既应用了很多国外的高科技,又与泰国国内的传说相结合,以大场面、全球性题材为卖点,可以见出近年泰国电影在制作上向着好莱坞风格靠拢的趋向。
耗资2.6亿,泰国有史以来最大规模科幻动作巨片,超人气演员阵容最大组合。影片让科幻元素和异国风情完美结合,又与泰国国内的传说相结合,使用了大量枪械、炸药、反坦克炮等现代化武器,极具制作上的大气。电脑科技制作上也投入了大量人力物力,可以媲美好莱坞科幻巨片《哥斯拉》,而在故事情节上又与《007》有几分神似,以英雄美女、大场面、全球性题材为卖点,不愧为今年泰国第一大片。
导演自荐:《哥鲁达》这部片子的产生,来源于一个很简单的想法,就是想拍一部令泰国人看了之后感到很刺激很紧张的有关怪兽的影片。事实上在此之前已经有这样一部片子了,我寻遍了古代小说中出现的怪兽,很多怪兽都很漂亮,又令人感到恐惧,并不亚于外国电影中出现的怪兽,所以我也很难作出选择。于是我拜访了一些行家,他们的想法是,如果能找到一种怪兽,人们似曾相识,非常敬畏它,把它当神来对待,但是它又非常恐怖,当这样的东西出现的时候,你是选择向它靠近还是立刻逃命?于是就有了我们这部片子。根据剧情的需要,这只怪兽必须被人们奉若神灵,而且非常恐怖,哥鲁达这只怪兽正好符合我们的要求,它既受尊敬又令人恐惧,人们很难分辨出它到底是神还是来自古代的像恐龙一样的怪兽。
Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.
The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.
