The great director Stanley Kueberk dedicated his masterpiece "2001 Odessa Space" to the world in 1968, and one year later Neil Armstrong and his comrades stepped on their feet on the moon to become the Kouberk after the talk of the hour, and many still today see that it was Kouperk who directed Armstrong and his comrades' journey to the moon, and that What happened was not real, but was done in Hollywood studios.
Quality of plot and dazzling image
The quality of the masterpiece "Odessa Space" does not stem from amazing technical capabilities. The film was produced and filmed in the year 1968, where the capabilities of photography techniques, visual effects and cinematic tricks were at their beginnings. The resort to tricks was much more than relying on the effects, but Kubork's masterpiece did not depend on the effects on The launch, rather, depended on the director's craftsmanship and other attractions including the genius script written by Kipork himself in cooperation with scientist Arthur C. Clarke, both of whom were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 1969.
The “Odyssey of Space” journey is a journey of man searching for himself and his origin, which is discussed in another recent movie, "Interstellar Reality", which was produced in the year 2014 by Christopher Nolan. Nolan, through his film, discusses a similar idea, which is the search for humans for an alternative land.
Although the last movie is the latest and the technologies used in it are the largest, the cost of producing the first movie did not exceed $ 12 million, while the cost of producing the Nolan film exceeded $ 165 million.
The movie "Space Odyssey" was able to win the evaluation of 93% of the critics, 89% of the public on the "Rotten Tomatoes" site, besides his nomination for the Academy Award for the best written script for the cinema in his time, while the movie "Interstellar Reality" did not run for the Academy Award for the scenario, despite his monopoly nominations. Awards for visual effects and sound effects, and the movie with the biggest budget and amazing dazzling received a rating of 72% of critics and 85% of the public on the site of rotten tomatoes.
Good scenario for second degree movies
The dazzling philosophical dialogue in "Odessa Space" was faced by a naive dialogue full of sermons of human development in "interstellar reality", and it is not only about science fiction films, but it even exceeds them even for second-class films such as action films mainly dependent on battles, you find that the movie "escape From New York (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK), produced in 1981 by director John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, outperforms in all levels an action movie like "The EXPENDABLES" produced in the year 2010 directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone.
The Escape from New York movie is in a dystopian world where the earth in its present form has ended and Manhattan Island has turned into a big prison. The former fighter and current criminal Snake Blixen / Kurt Russell are trying to save the kidnapped American president on this island.
A clear feature of this film is his keen attention to detail and a good textured scenario that causes you to wonder about the fate of all heroes, while in the movie Mercenary, which is about a mercenary combat squad, the squad travels on a mission to a secluded island in South America to drop the tyrant that rules it.
What is noticeable in the movie is the large number of stars and the superior quality of the visual illusions, but the story and the plot are full of loopholes that make the viewer bored the film, and the film's dialogues are naive, and the relationships of his heroes are weak and unjustified, unlike the first movie that gives the characters their right to a large and dark dystopian world.
There are also differences between the two films, as the oldest film cost $ 6 million, with a critical evaluation on the site of rotten tomatoes, reaching 85% and a public evaluation of 76%, while the film of mercenaries cost $ 80 million, and the evaluation of the film on the site of rotten tomatoes was 42% critical, 64% public.
Terror between the idea and the effects
At the level of horror films, it has completely turned from reliance on idea, narration and character building, to visual effects through which the filmmakers try to create a frightening and strange world for viewers.
The clearest example of this change will undoubtedly be the movie "Psycho" by the great American director Alfred Hitchcock, which can be considered one of the most horror films in history, but in spite of that not a single scene was filmed containing a stab in the body or a bullet that penetrates One of the victims, the horror is all psychological, of course without any visual effects.
The movie is mainly about a hosting house that is managed by a young man who seems natural and even welcome from the start, but things are turned upside down to discover many killings.
The most striking feature of this film is the ability of Hitchcock to put us on the edge of our seats throughout watching the movie without using any clashes with the killer, even in the most famous scenes of the film we see a murder that contains approximately 50 stabs using a white weapon, without penetrating a stab One of them is the victim's body, though we cannot notice this from the first sighting, quite the opposite the film fills us with horror and bewilderment about the fate of the heroes.
We can also see the difference in new horror movies, especially since the beginning of the twenty-first century, as an example of this is the movie "Hollow Man", produced in 2000, which is completely about an incident that turns a man into a hidden person, without Body and no tangible presence. This man exploits this incident criminally, so he tries to kill and rape his victims without anyone seeing him.
The film is completely based on the visual effects through which the villain's body was hidden inside the film, and then covered with a rubber-like material to have an outer covering and a hidden body, these effects now seem completely good and not believable, which of course usually happens with the visual effects that develop Continuously, so the old ones always appear very passively if we compare them with the new, and there are many examples of that, including but not limited to, the influences in the famous Will Smith movie “I'm a Legend” whose special effects are mocked By making monsters and dogs that belong to the zombie world in it until today.
Are the good scenarios over?
Through previous models, we find that modern image technology, and despite what was reported by the film industry and its quality, has negatively affected a large segment of filmmakers to facilitate their exploitation, this does not necessarily mean that all modern films do not contain a good scenario and network, but dazzling films such as the worlds films Marvel Cinemas and superhero movies in general have become more influential and popular and attractions, while a movie like Scorsese's recent movie The Irishman is shown on paid viewing platforms.
