THE SCIENCE FICTION FILM READER
Book ID/图书代码： 11684015B77295
English Summary/英文概要： Outer space, whether the homeland of demonic invaders or the destination of intrepid explorers, seems to ignite the wildest imagination of filmmakers and audiences alike. And back on earth we all marvel when our planet is taken over by apes or when in a laboratory beings are created that defy, or perhaps reflect, our own humanity. This lavishly illustrated collection of essays begins with ’Cinematic Views’, written between 1907 and 1929 by the great film pioneer Georges Melies. It goes on to explore the foundation of science fiction films in writings from the 20s and 30s by such masters of word and image as H G Wells, Luis Bunuel and Jorge Luis Borges. With the genre established and flourishing, the book moves in a variety of directions -- toward outer space, as a subject; different periods in film history, each with its own style and dominant themes; the work of specific directors and writers and, finally, some classic science fiction films of the recent past.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 外太空这一领域，无论是作为恶魔入侵者的家园，还是无畏探险家的目的地，似乎都点燃了电影制片人和观众最狂野的想象力。回到地球上，当我们的星球被类人猿占领，或者在实验室里创造出挑战或可能反映我们人类的生物时，我们都会感到惊奇。这本插图丰富的散文集以伟大的电影先驱乔治·梅利斯在1907年至1929年间创作的《电影观点》开始。本文以20世纪30年代的作家威尔斯、路易斯·布努埃尔、豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯为研究对象，探讨了科幻电影的创作基础。随着这一流派的确立和繁荣，这本书朝着不同的方向发展—。例如以外太空作为一个主题；电影史上的不同时期，每个时期都有自己的风格和主导主题；具体导演和作家的作品，最后是最近的一些经典科幻电影。（WYL）
