The beat.
Il film e' uscito venerdi' scorso in america ed e' andato dritto al numero 1...tra l'altro trovo molto interessanti le considerazioni finali....
WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT was #1 at the box office this weekend, taking in some $16.1 million. FLIGHTPLAN was second.
Of course, we raced out to see the film opening night, and tears of joy rolled down our cheeks as the W&G theme music started to play. The film finds cheese-loving Wallace and patient Gromit involved in a venture called Anti-Pesto, capturing rabbits that threaten the annual giant vegetable contest. Crazy inventions, thrilling chase scene, pathos, romance -- it's all here, and so much more. The driving force of the film is the devotion the villagers have for their giant vegetables--there's a scene set to Gustav Holst in which Gromit lovingly puts his immense watermelon to sleep, as tender as any mother towards a child. It's hilarious, goofy and mystical all at the same time.
But we don't suppose you need us to tell you how great director Nick Park is. It is all so bittersweet in some ways...this film was five years in the making, and each and every frame is a masterpiece...but it's all so brief and precious. It's been ten long, gloomy years since the last W&G outing. Ten long years wait, and then 80 moments of bliss. Heaven only knows how long we'll have to wait until the next one.
But in the meantime, there is so much to enjoy about WERE-RABBIT. As A.O. Scott put it, Gromit is one of the most emotive comedians in the history of film. Alarm, loyalty, steely resolve...all caught in his mobile brow and the cast of his round eyes. The clay animation is without equal, the fingerprints of the animators clearly visible at many points, showing what a hand-crafted labor of love this movie is.
W&G was preceded by a 10-minute CGI short, THE MADAGASCAR PENGUINS IN A CHRISTMAS CAPER, directed by Gary Trousdale of BEAUTY & TEH BEAST fame. Watching it, we mused on the entire transition from traditional animation to CGI. Granted, we haven't seen SHREK or MADAGASCAR or many of the popular CGI films around. A CHRISTMAS CAPER is funny enough, but it seems that sometimes the technical triumph of getting everything on screen to look smooth and beautiful leaves some of the actual gags and imagination back in the storyboard. Of course, PIXAR has managed to overcome this, and CGI is just a means to an end, after all. But it doesn't make anything funny in and of itself.
purtroppo hanno detto che in Italia arriverà nel 2006
