毁灭的发明

1958年卡尔·齐曼的《毁灭的发明》并非简单的凡尔纳改编，而是一场形式主义的视觉实验。 ☺。 推荐理由：全片采用手绘背景与小型模型实拍，把凡尔纳小说中的蒸汽铁甲舰、机械章鱼、飞行器都做成了老式版画活过来的样子，每一帧构图都像十九世纪科学插画。 ☁。叙事节奏带着五十年代特有的缓慢从容，但正因如此，那些蒸汽驱动的潜水艇、巨型炸弹装置才显得格外有手工质感。卡尔·齐曼用逼真的微缩模型、手绘背景与定格动画交织出19世纪版画风格的视觉奇观——海底巨章鱼的触须像机械零件般一节节扭动，潜艇内部的黄铜齿轮和蒸汽管道都是实打实的物理特效，没有半点计算机加工的痕迹。

As its title suggests THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE is an awe -inspiring, meticulous cinematic rendering of the aesthetic and conceptual inventions of proto-science fiction genius Jules Verne, based on one of the famed author's lesser known short stories. However, the real star of the film is the intricate art direction, successfully rendering the visual style of nineteenth century woodcuts and engravings into motion pictures, creating a stylized and surreal graphic world within which Verne’s fanciful tale unfolds. A brilliant scientist, Dr. Roche, perches high above a stormy sea, inventing a powerful explosive, when he and his assistant are kidnapped by an evil businessman, Artigas. Taken by submarine to Artigas' volcano headquarters, Roche is tricked into developing his experiment for evil intentions. The scientist’s assistant, Simon, struggles all the while to free himself and warn Roche. A magical world of baroque submarines and sailing ships, killer octopus, undersea bicycles dazzles audiences as human actors, puppetry, animation and fanciful scenic design interact to create a cinematic experience that is unique by any standards. Mixing slapstick comedy, action adventure pacing and Mélies style film magic, this little known Czechoslovakian gem transcends the juvenile literature at its source to create cinematic art of the highest order....
