简介:The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
简介:《通向行星路》的制作期长达三年,它是一部雄心勃勃的意识形态电影,包含着极具开创性的特效和精湛的手工模型作品。这部影片对库布里克《2001太空漫游》(2001:A Space Odyssey,1969)中对失重状态、灼热的星球和旋转式的太空站模型的在现实主义描写有着重要影响。Klushantsev的《通向行星路》捕捉到了太空竞争的时代思潮。按照莫斯科电影官僚的指示,他在影片中增加了苏联第一个绕地卫星的模型。结果,这部五十分钟电影在苏联激起了观众的恐慌。据报道,电影片段在美国电视播放时,有些观众恐慌得晕厥过去。这使得他随后的影片也是他唯一一部标准长片——1962年的《暴风雨之星》让人有点失望。这部影片是这一时期苏联科幻电影知名度较高的一部,故事由一队到金星探索的苏联航天员展开,队伍中有四个男人,一个女孩,还有一个笨重的机器人(这个机器人很明显是效仿了米高梅影片《禁忌星球》(Forbidden Planet,1956)中的机器人角色)。当两个宇宙飞船被流星摧毁时,这一队人被迫在星球表面下降着陆。他们一着陆就遇到恶毒的蜥蜴人,掠夺性的翼龙和食人的植物,而最后,他们得以逃离,回到太空中。
