Gravity starts small. The infinite universe, the earth as background. In the distance, the three astronauts to work. Quietly, the weak conversations have three frequencies crunching together. The camera rotates around its axis and gently slips into a state of weightlessness.
cinematography
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are the two actors who lent their names to the new great project of Alfonso Cuarón. With the enthusiasm they put their characters: Dr. Bullock Ryan Stone, an engineer in the early space missions and Clooney is Matt Kowalsky, a veteran of space. Bullock made the relatively poor Dr. Ryan as the film progresses more confidence while Clooney as usual here schmieren. But the two actors are not the determining factor for the success of the gravity factor. The stunning cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki (The Tree of Life, Children of Men) with the effects of visuale Tim Webber (Children of Men) make the film a special roller coaster-.
dizzy
If astronauts carry out the repair of a spacecraft, the rest is soon interrupted by a swarm of space debris that destroys the spaceship in a short period of time and the third person will die. Then you will be floating in the universe together and disappear, if all communications, the situation seems hopeless instead. The chart above is simple - everything that happens enough - but Cuarón managed to convey the feeling alienated and remove the canvas to the viewer. Not privy 3D flight to make it happen, but the camera more convincingly beating constant motion does not suppress the feeling of nausea fell. The soundtrack, which alternate with silence, music and radio connections hesitant contribute to alienating effect.
Cuarón
In Gravity Cuarón showed once again be a major innovative integration of innovative visual effects with an original story. There are many references to the history of cinema, but the turn and gives Curaón this interpretation makes no reflection, but the effective use of existing elements in a completely new setting. Before that, he used all first strategies to film the children of men, and because - as a producer - the labyrinth Pan space in a world of complete fantasy.
conclusion
Gravity is a film that is worn by Sandra Bullock and George Clooney - even if they are a good performance - but by the fascinating approach to the camera and visual effects that make you giddy be spinning in space. The combination of stories, images, sound and efficient use of 3D soon bring the viewer into a state of weightlessness. Until the end of gravity (gravity) has returned to win anyway.
