26 分钟Cutting through an overload of information to get to the heart of the story.
This is The Point.
A journey that began thousands of years ago continues to find new meaning on the big screen.
Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan's latest film, The Odyssey, has brought an ancient classic back to life.
Shot entirely on IMAX for the most high-resolution pictures and immersive experience,
this cinematic first has captivated moviegoers around the world, including me.
What is the story really about?
Odysseus' journey home?
And what if he doesn't actually want to go back?
What do I mean?
Welcome to this special edition of The Point with me, Liu Xin, coming to you from Beijing.
I had the pleasure recently to sit down with Christopher Nolan himself and Oscar-winning actor Matt Damon,
who plays Odysseus in the film.
To me, the great ideas in Chris's adaptation.
Before we get into the more serious questions, really one curiosity question.
How did you manage such real effects of the Cyclopes and Scylla in the movie?
Were they also physical filmmaking?
There's quite a bit of physical filmmaking in embracing the fantasy elements.
Obviously we have to use every trick in the book.
So there's puppetry, there's animatronics, there's CG, there's everything.
