    Fantasy film. 真系好科幻。。。成半既戏都系电脑特技。

    到最后成出戏可能明左60%左右。
     
    主要系去看HEATH LEDGER... 觉得距形象都几多变。断背山,bat man到呢出, 我看过既都系唔同形象。
     
    去wikipedia看左下关于呢部戏既介绍,看到heath ledger既死对呢部戏既影响果时,觉得几感动。 摘录下:
     
    Effect of Ledger's death

    Production was disrupted by the death of Heath Ledger in New York City on 22 January 2008. Ledger's involvement had been a "key factor" in the film's financing.[8] Gilliam was presiding over concept art when he received the phone call that told Ledger had died; his initial thought was "The film's over, it's as simple as that."[10] Although production was suspended indefinitely by January 24,[18] according to Christopher Plummer, who plays Doctor Parnassus, Gilliam, determined to "salvage" the film, initially considered using computer-generated imagery to make Heath Ledger's character magically change his appearance, perhaps into another character, in order to keep his final work in the film, and, if the film was made, would dedicate it to Ledger.[19] The imagery would be similar to transformation techniques seen on Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and those employed to Roy Scheider in his posthumous release Iron Cross.

    Eventually, actors Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law were cast to replace Heath Ledger in certain scenes, portraying the new idea of transformed versions of Ledger's character travelling through magical realms, thus the footage shot with Ledger would remain in the film as his character's "real-world" appearance. With the role recast, filming resumed in Vancouver in March 2008.[20] Depp was a friend of Gilliam who starred in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the aborted The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, and had been compared to Ledger by cinematographer Nicola Pecorini. Law was a friend of Ledger and had been considered for the role of Tony, and Farrell had also been friends with Ledger.[10] Depp, Farrell, and Law opted to redirect their wages for the role to Ledger's young daughter, Matilda, who had been left out of an old version of Ledger's will,[21] and Gilliam altered the part of the credits saying "A Terry Gilliam film" to "A film from Heath Ledger and friends."[10]

    The production was beset by further bad luck when producer William Vince died one week after shooting was done[16], and while on post-production Gilliam himself was hit by a car and broke his back. Gilliam recalled: "So I thought, it was third time lucky - they just didn't get me. They got the star, the producer and they were going for the director and the fuckers failed on the last one. Whoever they are..."[16] "They were going for the trinity [...] That would have been a tidy end to the whole thing. But they didn't kill me. I'm stuck here to tell the tale."[15]

    我林部戏本身同个故事唔算好吸引吧。某D场面都既搞笑。
     
    MAYBE我要DOWN个有中文字幕既版本再看多次, 哇咔咔。

    Some movie updates

    2012
     
    What a disaster film.
     
    The scenes are really spectacular, especially when you see all the lands going into the ocean and the tsunami coming with cruise and giant buildings.
     
    It's really sad if 2012 will really turn out to be that way. There is a moment of touching when you see people around the world praying. How helpless...
     
    However, the world is not really ending in the way I thought. And the whole flooding and surviving things just looked like the "Noah's Ark" in Bible, except I was quite surprised the "ark" was MIC. I should be proud of my own country, i think Sarcastic
     
    Hints: when towards the end of the world, either learn how to fly a plane (better can take off from the water) or make a submarine with impact-proof materials. Also, remember to bring your mobile, coz signal will be still available at the end. Wink
     
    Julie & Julia
     
    I think it's really wonderful if you could find out what you really wanna do and then work hard for it??!!!
     
    The ending is not sth. I would expect, but acceptable, still.
     
    Surprised that I can still find the legendary blog. And they're the exact setting and similar words as they are in the movie. I know the movie is based on true stories. But haven't thought of being so true. Wow, I'll read it~~~
