回复 :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special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact.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.
回复 :1968年，电影导演让·吕克-戈达尔已经获得了太多的成功。 这一年，电影界前辈、法国电影资料馆馆长亨利·郎格洛瓦提出了整个电影史应该以"戈达尔前"与"戈达尔后"两个概念来划分的论点。在他看来，38岁的哥达尔结束了一个时代也开创了一个时代。 著名作家路易·阿拉贡早在1965年就已经说过："今天的艺术就是戈达尔。"著名存在主义哲学家萨特也宣称："在戈达尔的影片里，学问太多了。"其实，除了处女作《筋疲力尽》获得1960年西柏林电影节最佳导演奖、《狂人比挨洛》获得1965年威尼斯国际电影节青年评论奖、《中国姑娘》获得1967年威尼斯电影节评委会特别奖外，戈达尔导演的其他几十部影片，并没有给他带来很好的声誉，大多数观众看戈达尔的电影，不是不知所措，就是焦躁不安。 或许，戈达尔生来就是电影的敌人。在1967年拍摄的《周末》里，他让动作停止--两个倒垃圾的人直接对着一部摄象机谈话，长达7分钟之久。在这部影片的开头部分，一个仅仅穿着乳罩和短裤的女人，坐在半明半暗的一张桌子上，直接对着一部推近拉远的摄象机说话，详细的叙述她参加的一次狂欢。这个段落也持续了好几分钟。思想激进的戈达尔，用这种方式与好莱坞抗衡。因为在他看来，好莱坞电影流畅的剪辑和快速的节奏，是为了迎合观众，进而麻痹观众，使他们沉湎在白日梦中，甘心情愿的忍受资产阶级的剥削。他甚至认为，电影本身就是资产阶级的，要反抗资产阶级，就需要把电影的传统全部粉碎。这样不象电影的电影，才使值得拍摄的好电影。
