How this films make space. And good use of it I will break down how we see space in film and how the special effects helps this.

Barbarella

                                                  Barbarella (1968) Director: Roger Vadim

 Its set in the future a young "Jane Fonda" (Barbarella) is set out on a quest. To find (Durand Durand) She go's to the planet Lythion were she finds the city of Sogo. Where a sin is found around every corner.

"Durand Durand' (Milo O'Shea)

In the city there is an Excessive Machine which can kill with pleasure. The special effects are quite good you cant help but be impressed with them. Its a bit camp in places "Pygar" (Character). I'm not impressed with this film if you take out "Jane fonda" you don't have much to go on the story is bad to. The films definition is a Machine thats gives you sexual pleasure till death

'Great production design and very little else.'

A head trip of a family film.

The key to The Wizard of Oz is its pure, simple theme: Dorothy's desire to get back home, to safety, to comfort, to family and to love.

David Bezanson

The film is probably as entertaining now as it was in 1939.

King Kong

King Kong (1933) Directed By:   Ernest B. Schoedsack  and Merian C. Cooper.

A film crew goes to a exotic island  where thay find a giant gorilla who takes a likening to the blond Ann Darrow, originally played by Canadian Actress Fay Wray in 1933. She was known as the 'Queen of Scream'

 

They start their travels by ship. The first Scene that I liked, was the ship in a fogy sea, the ship was made in smile with figures that are palest on it, this gave a great sense of depth and foreboding. This film has a lot of painting and life-like special effects in it. Which influences the story and film. The painting I've seen at universal studios in Orlando on the KING KONG ride looks real life like.




It's one of the rare, great works of art that stands up to endless repeated viewings, each time revealing something new

Film is an agent of imagination, and King Kong demonstrates this with remarkable technical proficiency and innovation...

The beauty of this original King Kong is that there's more to it than the oversize gorilla.

Metropolis

Metropolis,Dir. Fritz Lang,(1927)

                              Metropolis is a good film from the beginning to end you start off in a tunnel

with people marching in and out of it .From this point on I knew it was going to be a good film in the way of  the camera angle which I have never seen before.

The set was well made throughout the entire film especially the sites. The film is about underground slave labor and the big time businessmen that lives on the top. There is a fight to get to the top no matter what happens. The sets are sprawling, surreal, an operaticly visual masterpiece of film making that will continue to make your jaw drop



Changed the face of film. This movie was far, far ahead of its time

Though at times Tectonically tough-going, Fritz Lang's German expressionist masterwork exerted a profound influence on art design and the science-fiction genre...

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Where do I start. It was a 1920 film. Horror. This is meant to be the first horror film made.
"A classic. Visually stunning and more experimental than anything coming out today."
Beth Accomando KPBS.org
What I was drawn to mostly was the set. The way it was made; its like with a dream, a state of mind.
"A simple, subversive film made all the more interesting because of its style".  Ted Prigge rec.arts.movies.reviews
The mix up of patterns and vertical angles to me made it like I was in someones mind. Someone that is mad. And the use of space.The changing of sets. To make it seem bigger then it was. Adds a true sense of weirdness to this picture.
"Set a standard for creepiness that has never been matched". which was what Nell Minow Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies, had said.
