将科幻小说改编成电影差不多已有一个世纪的历史,这个流派诞生了无数经典。对于科幻电影流派感兴趣的你,有哪些电影是必须看的呢?让我们跟随历史的脚步来看看io9网站推荐的这25部经典科幻电影。
1)Metropolis 大都会(1927)
德国电影大师 Fritz Lang的“大都会”绝对是对科幻电影发展最有影响力的电影之一,即使在八十多年后的今天看来也极具想象力。该片是当年最庞大的电影制作,共拍摄两百万英尺胶卷,雇用25000名男演员、11000名女演员和750名儿童演员。该片的终极修复版将于今年4月中旬起在北美影院上映。
2)The Day The Earth Stood Still 地球停转之日(1951)
上世纪50年代上映了大批讲述外星人威胁人类生活的电影,但只有《地球停转之日》敢于质疑我们人类自己的生活方式。来自超越人类文明世界的外星人克拉图走向我们,它发出的警告至今能让人共鸣。
3)Forbidden Planet 禁忌星球(1956)
《禁忌星球》是电影史上太空探索片的经典开创之作,影片制造出复杂玄妙的未来世界,还有一个拟人化的机器演员,比轰动一时的《星球大战》早了20年。《禁忌星球》常被描述为莎士比亚的戏剧《暴风雨》的改编,但《禁忌星球》设法加入了一些独特的元素:一个来自于内心的怪兽和它与神秘灾难之间的隐秘联系。和《TDTES》(?)一样该片也探讨了人的自杀倾向,但该片更多的关注于人潜意识里的自我毁灭。
4)Planet Of The Apes 决战猩球(1968)
到了这部电影里,人类与“the other”相遇——Charleton Heston乘坐的太空船降落到了一个未知的星球,这里人类比野兽待遇好不了多少,而一双手掌带着臭味的大猩猩却成了统治者。《决战猩球》开创了一类科幻新流派,一个人(有时候还是由Hestion饰演)与继承我们星球的非人类周旋。窃以为电影没有小说原著来得精彩,但《决战猩球》仍是此类电影中的最佳。
5)2001:A Space Odyssey 2001太空漫游(1968)
很多人被电影开头的几分钟黑屏愣住了,遗憾放弃了这部硬科幻经典之作。得益于导演库布里克的独特视野和和未来派作家克拉克的硬科幻小说及其对预言的热衷,这部电影当时开创了诸多先河:超现实的太空生活描述、当人工智能发疯了会是什么情况、一个伴随人类诞生甚至于我们的遥远未来的巨大神秘物体。这些电影素材即使在今天看来也非常引人关注让人浮想联翩,何况这还是1968年拍的电影。电影中宇宙飞船上的超级计算机机器人按照自己的想法认为必须杀死宇航员才能完成既定任务,也可谓是机器人犯罪的一个形象案例。
6)Alien 异形(1979)
This film didn't just launch Scott and star Sigourney Weaver — it also launched a whole genre of movies about our terrifying encounters with creatures beyond our own imagination. Scott merged space opera, Westerns and horror in a way that pretty much nobody had done before, and the result remains vivid today. With a sharp script by Dan O'Bannon and note-perfect direction by Scott, this is a master class on how to do creepiness and a compelling story in the sterility of deep space.
7)Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back星球大战2:帝国反击战(1980)
This is the first of three sequels that came out in the early 1980s that were better than the films they followed, but which also innovated in a way that their precursors didn't. Not that the originalStar Wars wasn't innovative — it was, in many ways, including its breathtaking effects, its fresh take on Western and Samurai themes, and its exhilerating approach to space opera. But Empire Strikes Back took all of the formal brilliance of Star Wars and married it to a story that feels truly epic. Luke Skywalker's journey in the film, from near-death on Hoth to confronting his own darkness on Dagobah to learning the truth on Bespin — this is a real voyage of discovery. You couldn't skip any of those steps and have it still work. All our other heroes struggle with tragedy and adversity — especially Han Solo — and it makes them deeper and more magnetic as characters. This isn't just the best Star Wars movie, it's one of the most essential movies, in any genre.
8)Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior 疯狂的麦克斯2(1981)
11)E.T. 外星人(1982)
12)Tron 电子世界争霸战(1982)
13)Back To The Future回到未来(1985)
14)Brazil 妙想天开(1985)
18)The Matrix黑客帝国(1999)
21)Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
