The definition below is excerpted from Baidu. It is known that
steampunk is a compound word, which is composed of steam [steam ] And punk [punk]. Steam naturally represents a large machine powered by steam. Punk is a non-mainstream, marginal culture. It is a style of writing in street language dialogue. Its significance lies in the independent style of the subject matter, rather than anti-sociality. Steampunk works often rely on some new hypothetical technology, such as new energy, new machinery, new materials, new vehicles, etc., to show an overhead worldview parallel to the Western world in the 19th century, and strive to create its fiction and nostalgia. Features.
Let's talk about the plot below. The story takes place in New York in the 1930s. The yellowed and fuzzy picture makes people feel a kind of cordial nostalgia~ The giant robot descends from the sky, the creatures are corrupted, and the sky colonel drove the plane to help. The female reporter Polly decided to investigate the truth of the matter... It’s an old-fashioned plot, but the filming is very innovative~ In the two
films listed below, Angelina Jolie, a flight commander, is driving a plane. The giant "Flying Aircraft Carrier" (I named it myself, I forgot whether it was named in the film) is a huge machine driven by a steam engine with a huge propeller rotating on the top to provide lift. Unfortunately, no screenshots were found... The
best part is that the aircraft can dive into the water! ! ! ! ! ! This is steampunk. Of course, it uses a propeller plane. You can guess it later. The plane rushes into the water and the propeller moves to the tail of the plane! ! ! ! Haha, turned into a submarine! ! ! Those who have watched this movie must have fresh memories of this classic lens~ This is simply a fairy tale, and I think many people had such a fantasy when they were young! ! !
Okay, let's change the color and talk about "The Chronicles of Variation" below.
The story takes place in 2207, the earth's resources have been almost exhausted, and mankind is engaged in continuous wars over the only remaining resources. In a battle, a shell destroyed an ancient stone seal, and a terrifying monster like a zombie was released. An ancient classic "Chronicles" predicted the emergence of monsters, and a group of people "transmitters" will eventually destroy them...
It's still a very old-fashioned plot, but there is no shortage of shining points!
The huge cannons, heavy tanks, criss-crossed trenches, soldiers ready to go, gas bombs and gas masks at the beginning of the chapter, which typically imitate the "World War I" scenes, also tell people that this will be a steampunk movie. Unlike "Sky", this movie takes place in the future, and human technology is seriously degraded; while "Sky" takes place in a parallel world similar to the 1930s.
I wonder if anyone noticed the "airplane" that the "death fighters" boarded under the leadership of Samuel (if this is also an airplane). The upper part of the "aircraft" smoked thick black smoke, and the lower part blew out white gas; isn't this just a modified steam engine? And it can be seen that this machine can be regarded as a "jet helicopter". I admire the director's imagination very much. It is similar to the "mothership" in "Sky". The technology here should be much more advanced than ours, and the other lens, when the co-pilot passed through one to observe the enemy plane, it was obvious that it was a "telescope" (or an improved telescope); obviously the director considered it. Many, because radar and other instruments were only available in the electrical age, and this is the steam age, coupled with the technological degradation caused by the war, you can only use this kind of "telescope". Also, there is a cannon in the upper part of the cabin, looking at the main gun on the heavy armor used by humans in "The Matrix"~ When the soldiers turned to fight, suddenly there was Jones his dad in "Indiana Jones 3" The shot of manipulating the cannon to smash the tail wing of his own plane~ Hehe
Einstein said, imagination is more important than knowledge. Steampunk~
