[plot]

In the mid-20th century, due to climate warming, the polar ice sheets melted, and many cities on earth were submerged in a piece of Wang Yang. At this time, human science and technology have reached a very high level, and artificial intelligence robot is one of the scientific and technological means invented by human beings to cope with the harsh natural environment.

Advanced artificial intelligence robots not only have a confusing human appearance, but also can perceive their own existence like humans. David (haley joel osment) is such a considerate and emotional little robot. He was adopted by a pair of human parents, with a brother and a close companion, the robot Ted Bear. But none of this can satisfy David. He has been longing for the day when he is no longer just a robot. With the persistence of this desire, 1 1 year-old David, accompanied by another kind robot Joe (Jude Law), embarked on a long mental journey. No one knows whether they can get their wish and become real people. What awaits them is the unpredictable pursuit of complex human nature. ...

Origin-The Story of Two Masters

Since Artificial Intelligence is Spielberg's old line of returning to science fiction films after finishing Jurassic Park for many years, it is also a film he wrote and directed again after Close Encounter of the Third Kind, so the production level of this film can be imagined.

The film cost $654.38 billion and was produced by Warner, DreamWorks and Kubrick Studio. Kubrick's adopted son also served as the executive producer of this film. On August 7, 2000/kloc-0, the film was launched at warner corporation 16 studio in California (16 studio is the largest studio in the world, where the perfect storm was born). In the whole shooting process, high-tech technical means once again showed their ability: Industrial Light Magic used the advanced "real-time 3D computer game engine". In addition, the brand-new "live visualization" technology can also synthesize actors and backgrounds in real time when shooting, and display the synthesis results in the scene, so that actors will not be overwhelmed by acting against the blue screen.

It seems that Spielberg, who enjoys high-tech means, really experienced another stunt addiction this time. According to the actor osmond, Uncle Spielberg is good at entertaining himself. During the filming of Man, the studio was simply a large playground for him. No wonder we can always see so many childhood dreams in Smith's movies. In fact, the great director himself is a big urchin with a childlike heart.

Propaganda-playing hard to get.

As we all know, "Artificial Intelligence" has always maintained a high degree of confidentiality in the whole production process. No matter how powerful the reporter is, he can't find out any details about the plot or shooting. This kind of secrecy is comparable to the Blair Witch Project, so the movie "People" is particularly concerned by fans, and all kinds of news related to "people" on the Internet have also become the targets of movie lovers-this may be the effect that filmmakers want to achieve. Playing hard to get is much more cost-effective than spending a lot of money on publicity.

Of course, secrecy belongs to secrecy, and "playing hard to get" can't completely replace film propaganda. The propaganda technique of "People" can be said to be very pleasing: at the end of the movie trailer, a riddle-like sentence aroused great interest of fans. In order to solve this mystery, they must visit a series of websites, then get several phone numbers and e-mail addresses, dial these phone numbers and send letters to those mysterious addresses, and the answers-that is, the plot of the movie "Man"-will be presented to you bit by bit. This kind of publicity just caters to the curiosity of fans and achieves a very good publicity effect.

backstage

Spielberg inherited Kubrick's legacy and made this futuristic sci-fi epic film. Jude Law and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the prodigy of the sixth sense, have magical robot shapes.

The story took place in 2 1 century. Due to the greenhouse effect, the earth melted the iceberg and many coastal cities were submerged. Humans only rely on the artificial intelligence of computers to maintain their lives. At the same time, humans also use robots with artificial intelligence for various purposes. In one of the families, a pair of human parents adopted a little robot David (Kelly Zusven) as their son and gave him a real life. David grew up among human beings and began an extraordinary mental journey ... This film was adapted by director and producer Steven Allan Spielberg according to an 80-page script left by movie master stanley kubrick before his death. The story of the film is a bit like Pinocchio's fairy tale in modern science fiction, and it is also a bit like robin williams's Two Hundred Years Man two years ago. The title A.I. is the abbreviation of artificial intelligence, which means artificial intelligence. The full name of the movie should also be a.i.: artificial intelligence.

Since Saving Private Ryan in 1998, Spielberg has been hesitating about his next work. His current projects include Memoirs of a Geisha, Indiana Jones 4 and Minority Report. However, due to Kubrick's sudden death in 1999, "Eyes Wide shut" became the masterpiece of the master with a little regret, and the last plan of the master before his death, A.I., was put on hold temporarily, which led Spielberg to include this film in the plan.

At the beginning of last year, Spielberg decided to challenge science fiction movies again after Jurassic Park, including Tom Cruise's long-awaited Artificial Intelligence, Salute to Old Friends and Minority Report. Who won the first two movies has become the best topic for fans after dinner. After many twists and turns, Spielberg finally chose this futuristic sci-fi epic film "Artificial Intelligence" that he had never tried before.

Artificial Intelligence The Secret Behind

From 65438 to 0999, stanley kubrick left the film career he loved all his life forever because of a heart attack. To quote a magazine, "We have talked too much about this great teacher who died". This master only made 16 movies in his life, but most of them were amazing. From "A Space Odyssey in 2006, 5438+0" to "clockwork orange", the depth of his old man's house and his satire on human beings are really admirable. "Only God and Kubrick love to curse mankind-now these old bastards are fucking laughing in heaven again."

The only thing that makes this celestial master uneasy is AI, who has worked hard for this for more than 20 years. As early as 1974, Kubrick began to conceive how to make this story into a movie. Inspired by the short story Super Toy last summer from 65438 to 0969, the novel describes the story of a lovelorn robot boy and his toy teddy bear. Kubrick continued to polish the story and even invited several novelists to cooperate with him. When the story is almost conceived, the realization of technology is in front of Kubrick. It is difficult to meet the requirements of Kubri level with the technical level of that year. It is not that Kubrick is picky, but that he is called a master because of his persistent pursuit of perfection. Others can make a film in only a few months, but he takes three or four years. So "200 1: A Space Odyssey" is still perfect today, but other early science fiction films are very rough, which is why. On the other hand, due to the limitation of technical conditions in those years, Kubrick felt very difficult and had to slow down the progress and temporarily shelve the film.

Everything started to change from Jurassic Park by 1993. This sci-fi film has been a great success, not only at the box office, but also in technology. It can be said that Jurassic Park is a milestone in the history of film digital technology. Kubrick saw hope from there, so on Thanksgiving that year, he invited Dennis Mullen, the company's effects director, to his home in England. After dinner, Kubri objectively rubbed some samples brought by Dennis and discussed the possibility of digital film production. After returning to the United States, Dennis began to design plans for artificial intelligence, but Kubrick was very demanding, and he would not immediately express his position on every plan. Due to Kubrick's delay, until his death, the work failed to make progress.

Only one year after Kubrick's death, Warner put Steven Allan Spielberg in charge of the film. Spielberg, who hasn't written a script for decades, began to write a script for AI. This is not a whim of Warner Corporation. In fact, Kubrick has been in close contact with Spielberg for twenty years. If anyone knows this movie best, it's Spielberg except Kubrick himself. Two years later, Dennis was invited to Los Angeles and met Spielberg. There, Dennis was surprised to see all kinds of materials prepared by Kubrick for this film, including more than 500 film illustrations drawn by the painter Baker. In fact, from the first meeting between Dennis and Kubrick in 1993, Kubrick put a lot of effort into the film and did a lot of preliminary work. Speaking of these 1500 illustrations, we should also mention their author-Chris Baker. Kubrick found Baker because he was attracted by one of his picture books. Kubrick told him the general content, and then let Baker play freely. In this way, in two and a half years, although they were in two places, they completed these amazing illustrations by telephone and fax machine.

After he officially started working, his old partner stan Winston Studio naturally took charge of the role modeling task. Of course, the most important people are all kinds of robots. Speaking of designing shapes for robots, Winston's studio is very good at it. The most classic style is terminator. But this time, unlike in the past, there were a lot of shapes to be designed, and stan Winston tried to create a robot world that people had never seen before. To this end, Winston Studio hired more than 140 artists to join the project. And set up workshops, large and small, which is the largest in Winston's studio history, and everyone is involved. Even so, Spielberg is still not satisfied after designing hundreds of schemes. He always said, "Oh, he looks so much like the terminator."

When the film was handed over to Spielberg, all questions about David disappeared, because Spielberg used a real person to play the robot boy (he is a master, and his ability to cut corners is first-class ... I wonder if Kubrick will vomit blood with anger ...). The child star Haley Joe Osmont completed the task brilliantly, and he could perform for several minutes without blinking an eye. Of course, in order to make him look more perfect, the makeup artists shaved Osmont's face so that he would look smoother. In fact, in order to study this effect, makeup artists have done many experiments on other children, so that the faces of the last half dozen children are naked.

The protagonist of the film is David, a robot boy and a Pinocchio character, which is also the most frustrating role for Kubrick. As early as 1994, Kubrick began a series of experiments to explore how to express this role in movies. According to Kubrick's original idea, David must not be played by a real person. One of the reasons is that real children will grow up, and with Kubrick's procrastination style, it is estimated that children should be adults after the film is finished. At the same time, he also hopes that this character looks slightly different from the real person, because he is a robot after all. So he asked IML to try to be a fully digitally generated character, but the effect was not ideal. Then considering the use of the doll, the model expert made a doll model based on Kubrick's five-year-old grandson, but the plan was not adopted in the end. It was also suggested that Kubrick use live performances, plus computer-generated avatars, and so on, but Kubrick never found satisfactory results.

In addition to David, all kinds of strange robots appeared in Spielberg's movies. The producer designed about 25 kinds of robots for this film. They do their jobs, show their talents, cooks and robots that can open cans. Spielberg asked these robots to look more like humans, instead of making the audience feel that they are just machines. In order to make these robots lifelike on the screen, stan Winston's studio used models, CG and makeup techniques. In short, everything that can be used is used.

Although after the film was released, like all Kubrick's films, the audience's reaction was average. But I believe it will be a slow-moving work. A few years later, it became another great work. After all, it contains the painstaking efforts of two movie master. And the selfless work of hundreds of people behind the scenes.
