An "Imagination" magazine interviewed Douglas Adams and asked why 42 was chosen as the answer to the universe instead of other numbers in the new work The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Adams smiled and found a mirror from his home, held it in front of the reporter, and asked, "What did you see?" When the reporter expressed doubts, Adams went on to say, "It happened to have seen a movie on TV before, and the West German director Fass Welt am Draht* in Binder, you can find it and the answer is there."
Note: Welt am Draht, the Chinese translation of the name "World Danxi between", between the evening and the evening = 24h, the mirror image is 42
In October 1990, the Wachowski sisters and the Nolan brothers happened to participate in a creative writing class held in New Jersey together. October 3 was the last class, which happened to be the day when East Germany and West Germany were reunited during the celebration. The TV station screened film works by East German and West German directors in turn. The writing class watched Welt am Draht together at the time, and the final assignment required to create a script imitating the film. It's a pity that the film is too long. After watching the upper part, the Nolan brothers found a reason to go to the bathroom and left. The Wachowski sisters waited patiently to finish reading, and went back to write seriously for a long time, and later released "The Matrix" based on that assignment in 1999. Nolan has been working hard until he learns that Welt am Draht has been restored by photographer Ballhaus and will be unveiled at the Berlin Film Festival in 2010. He hurried to shoot late and release "Inception" on July 16, 2010.
Back in 1968, during the World Science Fiction Convention in Berkeley, California, Mike Resnick and Daniel Galluer talked about the 1961 Hugo Awards at a luncheon. At the time, Daniel Galluer He voted for Heinlein's "A stranger in a strange land", and in the end his "Dark Universe" lost to Heinlein by two votes. Fassbender, who was still unknown at the time, had just finished filming his debut, Katzelmacher, and happened to participate in the science fiction convention. At that lunch meeting, he sat down on the other side of Galluer and ate silently. The conversation during the dinner aroused Fassbinder’s interest. After returning, he looked for all the works published by Galluer and read them in one go. Among them, the novel Simulacron-3 deeply attracted the filming stage. The director, who was born in a drama, adapted the script and found a partner TV station, and finally launched Welt am Draht in 1973.
If the world’s top ten famous wines are used to correspond to the world’s top ten science fiction movies, then "A Day in the World" is absolute ethanol. Concentration: analytically pure
