Blade Runner (1982)
Director: Ridley Scott
This is a city of 2020 that belongs to humans and artificial intelligence. Our most direct, crude visions of the city of the future are given to it: towering skyscrapers, a harsh climate in the darkness, flying transport equipment, and an overwhelmed population. The city is a combination of New York and Tokyo, and it adds allegorical sci-fi elements like pyramids.
The grand budapest hotel (2014)
Director: Wes Anderson
The online analysis of the film's photography, set and other analysis articles are quite detailed, and the editor believes that this is originally a live-action fairy tale animation film. Whether it's the gorgeous hotel itself, or the prison or the snow-capped mountain cable car, these sets have been transformed into film characters by directors and directly involved in the film narrative.
Dr. Caligari's Cottage das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920)
Director: Robert Wayne
This is one of the masterpieces of German Expressionist cinema and the originator of Western horror films. Expressionism is a painting term that refers to the artist's emphasis on expressing inner emotions through his works, while ignoring the external imitation of the form of the object. In making the film's set, the artist painted scenes directly on the canvas—those disproportionate abstract jagged buildings and the eerie light and shadow effects that followed, expressing the deep fears and distortions of the characters.
Night of lost souls la citédes enfants perdus (1995)
Director: Marc Caro / Jean-Pierre Genet
The director hopes to recreate the dream in the film, but it is a series of nightmares. The director creates a foggy coastal city: large steel machinery and red brick buildings, reminiscent of the British capital of the industrial era of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Fantastic Brazil (1985)
Director: Terry Gilliam
The movie world of Terry Gilliam, born from Monty Python, is certainly not normal first, and secondly, it must be full of whimsy, just like the name Chinese movie. The film is set in a city similar to the dystopian novel 1984, with reinforced concrete factories and boxy buildings that suppress humanity, while the protagonist flies into the sky and sees a heavenly landscape.
Hugo Hugo (2011)
Director: Martin Scorsese
In addition to the tribute to silent films, the film's greatest visual achievement is the use of computer stunts to recreate the metropolis of Paris in the 20s of the last century: Notre Dame Cathedral, the Library of Paris, the streets and bridges... The most exciting thing is that the main scenes are concentrated in the Gare du Nord, and various era symbols take the audience back to the Golden Age of Paris.
The Last Emperor (1987)
Director: Bernaldo Bertolucci
There is a simple reason why the film was selected, because it was the first feature film to be filmed in the Forbidden City with permission from the Chinese government, satisfying the desire of the West and many Chinese to peek into royal life.
Metropolis (1927)
Director: Fritz Lang
It's a great film, the most expensive film to produce in the silent film era. It pioneered a genre of sci-fi films, dystopian films. The capitalists enjoyed themselves in a cosmopolitan city like a hanging garden, while the working class worked hard in the harsh dungeons. In the era when there were no special effects, all of them were made by hand painting, which is a masterpiece of art.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Director: Stanley Kubrick
This film pioneered the science fiction filming method that has influenced the present day. The film's story spans millions of years, from human origins to space colonization. All props and sets must conform to our imagination of history and the future, especially under the direction of a director as strict as Kubrick, and the precision of the sets is so precise that many props have now become a reality, such as tablets.
