      People's future imagination in the last century

      The 1960s described people's longing for time travel and imagination and fantasy for the future at the end of the nineteenth century.
      It bears the imprint of the times, such as imagining that a nuclear war will break out in the 1960s, which will completely destroy human civilization and the world. It embodies the worry about the future and the sense of disillusionment, the destruction of civilization, and the new generation of human beings in the future will also lose control of their own...

      "The Shakespeare of Science Fiction" is not good too

      The original novel was read a long time ago, and many details are not memorized. However, when I saw the new version of "Time Machine" movie by Simon Wells a few years ago, I was still stunned by Radrij-what is it? Son. Great like Herbert George Wells, the famous "Science Fiction Shakespeare", still pitted by his own descendants. The profound social and cultural criticism of the original book disappeared in the film, leaving only bloody love and adventure. I have thought more than once, HG...

      "The Great Shift in Time and Space": Looking for hope in the future

      "The Great Shift in Time and Space" is not the first film to tell the story of a journey through, but because of its original novel ("Time Machine"), it has extraordinary significance. This novel was published in 1895 by the famous British science fiction novelist Herbert George Wells. Some critics defined the publication of this novel as "the first year of the birth of science fiction", which shows the weight of this work. It’s worth mentioning that Wells’s other novel, World War, may have...

      There is no shortcut for Ctrl+Z in life

      "Terminator" tells us that if we can travel, we can change the future by changing the past. "Time Machine" disagrees. "Time Machine" believes that even if you have the ability to travel through time, you have no ability to change the past or the future.
          The hero is always looking for answers, why can't we change the past? The answer that the wise man gave him was: The reason we can't change the past is that we can't go back to the past. The male protagonist thought to himself: I have...

      Low-budget sci-fi, reminds me of "This man is from earth", it's all a bunch of Kochi gathered in a room to listen to the male protagonist. John Oldman in "This man is from earth" is from the past 140 centuries ago, "The Time Machine" "The male protagonist has experienced the future 800,000 years later. PS The male protagonist is sitting in a time machine and watching the clothes of the female model in the window of the clothing store across the street change with the times. This shot is...

      I'm watching an old version so...long review messed up. The future that the director brought us is so hopeless, and does everyone only speak English? _(:з"∠)_... And which three books did George bring? I'm curious. And will he come back? Was that future more appealing to him than a civilized age with wars? Don't say it's because of the...

      8/10. Stage setting, miniature models, dynamic freeze-frames that evolve through space, and props (fruit, lava, etc.) that can easily distinguish plastic textures. The prophecy of the "captive slaughter" of the human race is too small, and the fighting power of the tribe is extremely weak. But the advancement of the time journey is quite exciting, exploring the human historical reincarnation of murderous civilization and enlightened...

      It has the same title as Mingjiao Zhenjiao's magical power, and has a completely different content from the horror conveyed by the poster. The props and scenery of the film silently show the sense of age. Although it is clumsy, there are still many interesting designs in the subtleties, and the overall theme of the discussion is also worth considering. Taking time travel as an example, an American film from more than 50 years ago is still much more brilliant than the current domestic film and...

    Movie quotes

    • Filby: I think I understand. Look! See the imprint? This is where the time machine originally stood. But the Morlocks moved it. They dragged it across the lawn right into the sphinx... right here. And Weena was standing there when he last saw her... the same space--in a different time. So he moved back his heavy machine from here, across the room, scratching this floor. So that he can appear outside the sphinx again and help the Eloi build a new world... and a new world of his own.

    • Dr. Philip Hillyer: Well, the future's already there. It's irrevocable. It cannot be changed.

      George: I wonder... Now that's the most important question to which I hope to find an answer... Can man control his destiny? Can he change the shape of things to come?

    • George: [while time traveling] The centuries rolled by... I put my trust in time, and waited for the rock to wear down around me.
