Content introduction:

Chris (robin williams)' s deep love for his first wife Anne (annabella Khiora) is his spiritual comfort and motivation for survival.

From knowing each other and cherishing each other to never giving up, Chris and Anne are more dependent than Shi Jian on the destination of true love. Even for the sake of his beloved wife Anne, Chris is also diligent. Fortunately, Chris really had to go to the gate of hell to find his lost wife this time.

After Chris died unexpectedly, he was still obsessed with that happy and sweet past. These attachments and memories of life brought Chris to a fictional world, a paradise exclusively for him. At first, Chris was fascinated by this shocking scene, but the surprise soon disappeared, because Chris's paradise angel Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.) personally confirmed: "Chris, you are not invisible, you have died and passed away forever. 」

Thankfully, Chris found his paradise in Anne's paintings. In this painted world, Chris is ecstatic, because the magnificent scene in front of him is full of memories and dreams that he and his beloved wife Anne share. However, without Anne's company, Chris always feels that there is something missing in heaven. On the other hand, the widowed Anne is also very frustrated when she lives alone in this world. The originality and creativity that can be seen everywhere in his paintings left Anne with the death of Chris.

Knowing that his beloved wife would never enter his own heaven, Chris vowed that even above, he would look for the green void, and below, the yellow spring would find Anne. So Chris, desperate for love, under the guidance of Hellscream (Max Fonsido), embarked on a fantastic journey across Vientiane to save Anne who suffered in hell and could never be reborn.

Dream Come True fearlessly explores the unknown and tries to present an illusory and supernatural world concretely. The staff of Speaking parts have made great contributions to the completion of this film: an imaginative and unconstrained director, an original author full of ideas and impressive, a talented screenwriter and a strong cast. The imagination and presentation of the world after death in Dream Come True is not only eye-catching, but also an unprecedented attempt to integrate fantasy, drama and wonders in handling methods. Robin Williams once said, "Few movies will focus on the cycle of life and death, let alone give meaning to the soundtrack. Meaning? What is the significance? " Robin williams said suddenly burst out laughing. "However, it never occurred to me that computer technology has other benefits for film production besides creating blasting scenes. This is amazing. 」

from the very first

"It is hard to imagine that anyone really believes that true love can connect hearts and will not disappear with the death of the body. This beautiful belief is touching. In addition, Dreams Come True touches the deepest fears and taboos of human beings and teaches the audience to think about what kind of world they will face after death. Scott Kruff, the executive producer of the film, made the above remarks.

The filming process of "Dreams Come True" can be traced back to 1978, when Steven Simon (then named Stephen Deutsch) received a gift, which he still couldn't open after nearly 20 years. Steven Simmons is preparing deja vu, and Richard mattson, the original author of the film, gave Steven Simmons an unfinished novel a chance to make his dream come true. This book was written by Richard Mattson for his wife. After reading the first draft, Steven Simon immediately bought the movie rights of this book without hesitation. However, in the next decade, the shooting plan of "Dreams Come True" was put on hold again and again.

It was not until 1994 that Steven Simon met writer and filmmaker Bennett Bourne at a seminar on metaphysics. They had a good talk and found that they were both deeply interested in another world after death, hoping to start shooting on this theme. Two years later, Steven Simon and Bennett Byrne formed the Metafilmics production company, with the aim of shooting mysterious films.

Dreams come true is mainly about the undying love between Chris and Anne. Robin williams said, "Annie is on the verge of collapse, but his love for Chris has never diminished. It was this love that saved them both. The visual effect is one thing, but the most remarkable thing about the dream coming true is the selflessness and love in human nature, which can also be seen in Children, Angel of Heaven and Angel of Hell. This movie will make the audience say, "Yes, I am so happy." Or "alas! Why don't I have this blessing? This is the success of this film. 」

"In case," robin williams said in his usual funny tone, "the audience's reaction is not like this. At least, Dreams Come True is a great "travel" movie with full advertising effect. If you want to join the "spiritual journey", please call this number. 」

About making

Dreams Come True opened in Montana Glacier National Park at the end of June 1997 and ended in San Francisco Bay 75 days later. Producer Aaron Blanchester said, "Our first task is how to build a magnificent location. Although some pictures in the movie are special effects made by computers, most of them are real scenes. The gardening staff must transport a large number of flowers and plants into the national park, even covering the whole Bay Area.

The interior was built on Treasure Island in San Francisco, and the prop team set up a huge set in the vast local hangar, which is more spectacular than the stage of most theaters in Los Angeles. There is a large pool filled with 300,000 gallons of water (about 1 136 cubic meters), surrounded by different scenes. Producer Aaron Blanchester mentioned that the scene designer built the set in the form of an opera stage: "Just like every scene in a stage play has to be changed, we have to tear down the set and build a new one after each scene is shot. The only thing that doesn't need to be changed is the big pool as the center of the stage. 」

Eugenie Osani, the scene designer, mentioned that other art designers fully understood the "painting paradise" in the mind of director vincent ward. After his death, Chris woke up leisurely on the flower bed lightly brushed with colored pens, with petals swaying in the wind. Eugenio Saniti explained: "The second act is mainly carried out in this scene. This kind of picture is a very common impression of "another world", but it can convey the subjective feelings of the soul through the touch of painting. We take this scene as the blueprint, and then play, add more creativity and extend other scenes. 」

The unique creative concept of this group of artists was described by Wen Sheng Ward as "using a piece of transparent glass stained with pigment to cover the oil painting with the veil of19th century". This kind of image processing, which combines the wet feeling of wet oil painting and dynamic image photography, makes the finished product not only meet my expectations, but also see my own interpretation. Because this kind of image presentation is unprecedented, it took the staff two years to combine computer special effects with traditional painting so perfectly.

Hannack further explained: "Any Italian Renaissance artist, such as Leonardo da Vinci, would scoff at our spiritual journey through painting. But we give the landscape a subjective meaning, so the audience can have their own leisure space. 」

Visual effect

The first appearance was a stunt performance from Angel Falls in Venezuela, the highest waterfall in the world. The stuntman Jake Lombard jumped from a cliff as high as 32 12 feet (about 8 1.6 meters), opened the stealth parachute after 18 seconds, and landed after 4 seconds. The play was shot 22 times before it was finished.

When the audience saw this scene, they could understand that Chris could do whatever he wanted after his death. He can fly. This is the magical world created by special effects and visual effects. This is just an example of realizing a dream with special effects.

These amazing special effects pictures are attributed to every visual effects magician and artist in popular movies and digital fields. They worked together to process pornographic films again and again, which made the world after Chris's death present real and illusory effects.

The work of converting plane painting (2D) into 3D image (3D) began in 19961October. The visual effects working group is led by Oscar winner Joey Hynes (and Nick Brooks). Their first step is to use the latest lidar technology to draw the topography and surface morphology of Glacier National Park. This innovative lidar is based on light and radar technology. With the advent of lidar technology, workers can draw charts and photograph hundreds of acres of land in a very short time. This cutting-edge technology using radar detection can provide visual effect designers with enough information as a reference to reproduce camera movement and lens changes. According to this, they can further make 3D effects on pornographic pictures covered with orange spheres. These orange balls scattered all over the scene are used as reference points for lidar scanning.

Regardless of visual effects for the time being, producer Bennet Byrne also hopes that the audience will be moved when they walk out of the cinema after watching Dreams Come True. "Even if they just get closer to their families and hug their children, we will feel that we have done the best thing.
