Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.
The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.
太精妙了，片中每一个人物都是一枚随波逐流的纸片棋子，不停地被分解和建构..仔细看就会发现片子里象征世俗正义的那帮人，说到底不过在履行自己的道德和权益——因为本该如此；反叛道德秩序那帮人也在行使自己的价值和权利——因为全世界的人都知道事实上就是如此。眼看着周围的邻居们思索思索再思索—创造，我们也惊呼要增强民族自信，柔和一些——喏，折中的温暖现实主义。而那些只能隔海相望的这帮电影朋友，脸上带着兴奋的潮红，惴惴不安地沉入剧情，朝着我们想都不敢想的刀刀见骨的现实主义失控驶去..
原本以为只是一部讲“未审判前没有人应该在正义的名义下被处死”的法律常识的俗套片，没想到实际上是对印度问题的深层反思。除了北朝鲜等少数几个有伟大领袖领导的国家没有社会问题外，能用影视反思的社会总还有点渺茫的希望存在。据说反思深刻，本片很可能会与许多片子和书一样在豆瓣被条目消失。呜呼。
看完心情挺复杂的，一方面是因为电影主题，女性➕人性➕政治，另一方面是又挺不理解的，很多编剧痕迹让人不能沉浸其中。
令人瞠目。
印度的“唐山事件”，中国的呢？人家敢拍，我们呢？印度电影真的比中国电影强很多，中国呢？政府呢？良心呢？😓😓😓
电影的观众画像应该是照着豆瓣来的，一群住在大城市的老破小里不工作的寂寞中年人，嘴上说的都是艺术，脑子里想的都是做爱，喝着打折的酒吹着当年的牛，连街边鞋匠都在谈论阿姆斯特朗和哲学，喜欢自嘲但拒绝批评，偶尔被拆穿要一顿爆锤回击，看费里尼的时候都在吃东西打瞌睡，完了再在社交网站给好评，如果加只猫就更完美了。
最后又有一个故事线挤在仅剩的时间像个毛线团似的塞过来，直接降了几个点的评分，不过前面依然水准之上。
年底一部片救活一整年
歧视女性、操弄舆论，印度社会的问题很多，但至少法律还是管用的。
题材加两星，叙事一般般，想表达的东西很多，由于要加入反转前边铺垫显得过长，很多细节通过音乐一笔带过，整个时长拉的太多，整体来说这个剧本表达的不够简洁。
电影时长真可以，本片最厉害的主人公电影演一多半了才出场。高分印度电影近年来的套路就是:通过应接不暇的神反转，埋伏足够多的隐喻，进而拔高电影的整体立意。最后被轰炸了几个小时脑细胞的观影者不得不感叹:看着虽然累但电影还是牛叉的。PS:本片适合放暑假的师生细品。😅😅😅
小女孩不爱带嘤，义呆梨家族企业在义务，老乌是为国争光彩旗飘飘，乳化什么乳化啊。。。
电影给了社会重重的抨击，最后的反转也是很精彩，不过如此长的电影，中间的铺垫细节（虽然每个都很残忍）却有点像蜻蜓点水了。不是在说这些不应该批判，只是做为电影个人感觉可能太泛
同热评，这部剧包含了如此多的现实话题，让我惊讶，连印度片都这么敢拍了……真的厉害
所有的故事都开个头，留到后期反转到审美疲劳
能拍已经是很大的进步了，虽说改变不了什么，但火苗已经种下了，时间一长终会烧起来！
导演和编剧尽了最大的努力将一个如此宏大、深刻、复杂的问题结构化地叙述和表达出来。结尾稍显仓促和混乱，但瑕不遮瑜，敢拍能拍这才是最重要的。
要表达的东西太多了，后面就是为了反转而反转
我们都懂，国人对外语片最高的评价是“真敢拍啊”
生机盎然 趣味不穷 红拂夜奔。倪虹洁太可爱了，好爱她。接受男导演徐峥代表中国男导演对女性的鞠躬道歉。
