The Black Hole
This movie I saw in the hall to 6 years in a parish where cinemino came a year after its release and beyond United States. I've reviewed recently, 30 years later ... and it was pretty amazing. I never revised, even in small pieces (also because I have no memory of television appearances). By chance I imbatutto the DVD and I bought it right away, eager to regain those feelings of the child. I did not remember almost anything except very short flashback, little more than a single subliminal images. But I had the feelings still alive, a surprise, even a bit 'of concern, majestic stuff, great special effects. Again today, everything has been reduced, in context, standardized, and yet go over the movie in glove, with an eye on the child I was, and the other adult which is (are?), was equally exciting.
The film is a curious film to be a Disney product, along with Tron, was the attempt to answer the Stellar Wars (I am told that in the new Legacy Tron, in Flynn's room makes a fine show himself the poster The Black Hole), aiming to stories from more adult content than the standard target of Disney, and in fact I remember that I did not catch much of the film, although I liked the same. We are the ambitions and aspirations in the script and also in the mise en scène. The source is literary, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (although it seems Shakespeare), and were taken from the movie and comic novels. Among the players are Anthony Perkins, Ernest Borgnine, not just actors from the cartoon. In short, the story sees a spaceship, the Palomino, venturing into an area of \u200b\u200bthe cosmos that contains a black hole, here comes across another ship, the Cygnus, whose tracks were lost decades ago. Explore, you discover that it is still inhabited, populated by a scientist (mad) and his army of robots, which he has built to serve. The scientist is planning to cross the black hole to reach another dimension, which he considers to be a kind of paradise, the underworld, the land of eternal consciousness, in a word: immortality. The crew Palomino, at first perplexed by the daring mission, will also try to flee, escaping to the professor, even after a series of discoveries revealing that cast a sinister shadow on the work of crazy genius. Not everything I tell you everything, otherwise you spoil the party, but I tell you, however, that the final there are also clear references to 2001 A Space Odyssey, with the same philosophy will describe the port to another dimension rather mystical spiritual.
Like all sci-fi film, or nearly so, there are inconsistencies science - read rubbish - significant, but enough to appeal to the poetic license and everything passes. Meteors always hot (in reality heat up only when they enter the atmosphere of a planet), astronauts gleefully around the space suit or without oxygen, the field of gravitational attraction of a black hole that sucks in everything except the heroes of history, clinging with one hand and simple hey presto, you're done. Stuff so short. It must be said that the special effects, while decent, do not hold the year 2011, but in 1979 they defended very well, and for a child of six years, used to Pippo Pluto and Donald Duck, were the apotheosis of technology . The Black Hole could even scare a child, there are many strong moments, like some kind of robot (Maximillian), the atmosphere dark and claustrophobic, the sense of threat, the humanoids of the mad professor (almost zombie-in at some point we discover the real kind) and the ending definitely out of the reach of a child. There are many times much more on track for a Disney film, especially entr'actes between robots. I'm not saying it is a masterpiece, but it's worth it, has its limits (currently, 30 years later), but it's an interesting piece of film history, Disney and fiction, as well as a pleasant diversion from the usual well-known titles such as Stellar Wars, Star Trek , and so on. I'd be curious to know if any of you people saw it ....
