虽然技术方面并不如80年代的版本,可是原创性和对后世的科幻电影影响至深,科幻电影迷必看!
well-developed characters, camaraderie and skills, dense dialogues, subversive humor, the conflict between Hendry and Carrington, one between Force and Reason, parallels a debate over whether America should cope with its Soviet adversaries through military confrontation or intellectual and diplomatic study. Soundtrack, final scene in particular, amps up the sense of dread magnificently. There’s also a woman added, not so much for a love interest but to impart greater powerlessness in the face of a hulking brute. In the end, much of the project is influential for the genre but moderately mechanical when it comes to entertainment value.
每个人物的重量是接近的,但挑大梁的是男人堆里的两个异类,戏份最多的女性和戏份最少的怪物。80年代的怪物藏在人群中,50年代的怪物躲在言语里,藏在看不见的“天上”,但都或本能或被动地在人类中制造了分裂。
和后世的《怪形》相比其实共同点很少,这还真有一种黄金时代的乐观,之后《怪形》的主基调就是未知和不安了。本身乏善可陈,是个极地科考站怎么对付一个苏醒的蔬菜科学怪人状外星生命的故事,一群男人踱步,聊天了快一个小时,等怪人苏醒,也就一会儿一个几秒钟的惊吓镜头,然后男人们继续踱步,聊天,吵架。怪人最后也被电死了,冒着烟,甚至能闻到蔬菜香味。一些关于地外生命交谈极富启发性,也被后来的科幻电影实现了。
