      "Around the World in Eighty Days" A miracle of human industrial civilization

      The wisdom of mankind has made this blue planet full of dangers a smooth path

      A classic movie based on the great science fiction master, Verne's novel. In the more popular language, this is a super big IP. And its supporting lineup is also worthy of this landmark masterpiece.

      The story begins in London in 1872, when it was the most glorious moment of the British Empire. The protagonist Fogg is precise, cold, conceited, rich, persistent...

      [Film Review] Around the World in Eighty Days (1956) 6.6/10

      This is a legitimate Oscar BEST PICTURE winner no one bothers to talk about nowadays, a globe-trotting travelogue in its most ostentatious fashion, Michael Anderson's epic adaptation of Jules Verne's novel has little substance to offer other than playing up to the hackneyed stiff-upper -lipped Britishness, perfunctorily garnished with a limp romance between the Victorian English...

      Around the World in Eighty Days: The unforgettable servant Paspato

      This color film, filmed in 1956 by Michael Anderson, is adapted from the famous science fiction writer Jules Verne’s novel of the same name. It mainly tells how a confident English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his brave and witty servant Passepartout used 80 Days time to do the story of travel around the world. The film is starring David Niven and Cantinflas. David Niven is a gentleman and he is also very courageous, but I appreciate Cantinflas' performance. His mustache, his shrewd little eyes,...

      Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)—The 29th Oscar's Best Film

             This is the biggest and most shocking movie on the screen from the first Oscar to the present. The widescreen is very visually stunning. The European land, Spanish bullfighting, Indian customs, Japanese customs, American customs, and the prosperity of Hong Kong all overlooked from the hot air balloon are all presented on the screen, which can be called a luxury giant. From animals to actors to scenery, you can...

      This film must not be separated from the background of 1956. At that time, most people were still full of conjectures about the world, and the exotic atmosphere was out of reach. Technically, the film was an early color widescreen, and the visual impact can be seen. Of course, from the current perspective, it is just a musical scenery film with a little gimmick and adventure, funny and legendary, and the dull plot of the simple characters is pieced...

      The favorite shot in the movie is when the hot air balloon is flying in the sky. Victor Young’s soundtrack is perfectly integrated with every shot. The camera is like a paintbrush to embellish the hot air balloon on every landscape. 56 Hollywood ambitiously put Jules Verne's masterpiece on the big screen, invited 50 superstars to appear, and adopted...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1956 was a year when Hollywood won a lot. The five Oscar-nominated films were all luxuriously produced. This film uses the newly developed widescreen system Todd AO system to present sceneries from all over the world on the screen. It won five awards including the 29th Oscar for Best Picture. It looks more like a global tourist scene today. This is just an excuse for the film to attract the audience. The focus is on the special scenery...
