Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.
The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.
就，看到最后二三十分钟前其实都还不错，结尾拍的太空了（？就让整部电影显得有点弱智起来……
伊萨克在片中给出了今年最沉入角色内心深处的表演之一，引人入胜、功力深厚。但施拉德“几年如一日”般地让自己被统摄在布列松的阴影之下，近乎痴迷地反复模仿；以及仍旧重复着那些暴力创伤应激、道德的绷与崩、自毁倾向、极端主义与极权控制等母题，这些题旨被近乎痴迷地反复书写。不能说不好，就是太重复，是施拉德第N次重复《出租车司机》，情节、人物关系全部如出一辙，但又由于反复太多次而导致有所失准，力度上也不如前作。
约翰·戈多上校是阿布格莱布监狱的私人承包商，在监狱效仿关塔那摩监狱实施非法刑事逼供。陆军一等兵威廉·蒂利克在阿布格莱布监狱服役时因对犯人施暴刑而被媒体曝光入狱，戈多则消失逃匿；蹲狱期间学会了算牌技能；出狱后改姓泰尔，无所事事就混迹各赌场。奇克·贝福特的父亲罗杰曾是阿布格莱布监狱的军事兽医，因承受不了里面的罪恶感而被戈多解雇，回家后施暴家庭最后自杀。奇克联系上威廉准备报复戈多。威廉不想让奇克步入犯罪，想带其转入棋牌乐趣。然而事与愿违，查明奇克因大学欠债5万而逃学，其母亲欠债3万多，威廉拿出15万给奇克，条件是让其去找其母亲重新和好。正在赌场玩牌时获知奇克买了把气枪袭击戈多被戈多打死的消息，威廉就连夜驱车持枪打死戈多而再次入狱
I'm sorry what was this???
摄影和剪辑很加分。虽然但是，对于黑狱中的执行者没啥值得原谅的，尽管他也是个人。
导演和音乐很不错，故事到后面有点崩，让我有些昏昏欲睡。
男主的扑克脸表情控制也很到位。
想起了PTA的赌城纵横，故事简单却处处透着作者的气息。情节没那么复杂算计，也没有浮夸的爱恨纠葛，有的只是一个祈求宽恕的男人。最好的一点还在于不煽情。
不要被片名骗了，只是个复仇的故事，还是为别人复仇的故事。
7/10 全方位不如《第一归正会》，赌场是施拉德随手抓的一个类型元素么？

何必要这么讲故事呢？导演应该把自己家里都包上白布，然后拿个黑笔满屋子把意淫构思都画上涂鸦就好了，怎么还能拉投资，叫上几个演员呆若木鸡一样的演一场给观众看呢？
震惊！昔日愤怒的公牛竟成预防青少年犯罪公益大使(这也能进主竞赛？)
男主沉稳冷静的个性招人喜欢，只不过这一切表现都是从过去的不堪与痛苦蜕变而来的。鱼眼镜头表现出扭曲与表态的虐囚情形，让人心悸。把酒店所有家具都用床单包起来这是一种怎样的性格，看到最后到上校家要杀他时，看到上校家的家具也是这样包起来的，才知道这一切是有渊源的。女主演年轻的时候身材那么好，怎么现在发福这么厉害？吃错了什么吗？
以全片做铺垫为了引导别人看爽快血腥的复仇结局。。。结果就这。。。
真的是完全靠奥斯卡的个人魅力撑起来的一部电影，且他本人还有点面瘫在这里。鱼眼镜头是为数不多的亮点，但也仅限于此。玩牌的部分和主线反战的结合也不是非常紧密，配乐和空镜更是到了滥用的程度…
往事虽然过去，但是记忆过不去;暴力已经成为往事，但是躯体里已然充满暴力，想要达到心理平衡是多么困难的事，打牌赌钱，奔波往来，都无济于事
又一部出租车司机，名字叫放逐更合适一点点，老派又充满视觉奇观，鱼眼镜头挺合适的
讨厌自恋的导演。
这片子看的我是真的无聊。很久没看这么无聊的片子了。
