Dreamlike

Occasionally, I found the name of this film in a picture album. I really like the works in the album. One of the artists in it participated in the art design of this movie. So stop by and take a look.
The film was glowing with a faint white light (I thought it was a version issue at the beginning). This layer of white light made the picture hazy, which made me think I was watching a movie more than ten years ago. With the retro modeling of the characters, comic-style robots and gorgeous scenes, I had the illusion of being in a dreamland.
When I first saw the name of the movie, I associate Sky Captain with Hayao Miyazaki's work. There are many shadows of Hayao Miyazaki in the movie, which reminds me of "Castle in the Sky" and "Moving Castle"...
Some people say that the special effects of the movie are too bad, but I think the special effects are just right! If a certain part of the special effects is too real, it will lose the taste of the movie.
However, the slight fly in the ointment is that the movie is a bit top-heavy. The opening scene is so cool!
PS: I almost didn't recognize Angelina Jolie

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow quotes

  • [to the Mysterious Woman]

    Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Why won't you die?

  • Dr. Totenkopf: Who dares come before me? Who dares enter this place? What has begun cannot be stopped. The time for this world is over.

    Polly Perkins: Totenkopf.

    Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan: Hello, doctor. Why are you doing this?

    Dr. Totenkopf: I have been witness to a world consumed by hatred and bent on self-destruction, watched as we have taken what was to be a paradise and failed in our responsibilites as its steward. I know now that the course of human race has set for itself cannot be changed. I am the last desperate chance for a doomed planet. Now, leave this place or die!
