Duel: Film Review
Fig.1 Film name: Duel Directed by: Steven Spielberg Starring: Dennis Weaver Year of release: 1971 The premise of the film Duel is that of a man who was simply being hunted down by an unknown man in a large truck. On the surface this does not sound like it would become an amazing film but the director, Steven Spielberg, managed to pull the suspense out of such a situation. While watching the film what one can gather that it is truly less of a car chase film and more of a film battling with the changing image of male masculinity as the second wave of feminism was gaining traction the world over many men where feeling that this would change the order of things. This one could believe that the directed even inferred to in the very begging of the film with the radio conversation where a man calls to a help line for assistance and says: "The questions says, 'are you the head of the family?' well quite frankly the day I married that woman that unfortunate...

Do not fret if these look too human. This human is the most advanced one of the lot and after its done I'm moving to doing a massive steam bot of some sort. but yeah the overall idea behind this guy is that he worked/ worked with people to do a set task.

ReplyDeleteHi Tumo,
I don't think Apochi is the kind of place to visit with your grandmother! Okay, so this OGR has the feeling of being a work in progress still and not fully formed or as yet thought through. You admitted yourself you're behind and it shows, simply because your ideas haven't been up and available for a bit of feedback back-and-forth. I very much like the gusto and fearlessness with which you're tackling your artist's very particular preoccupations. That said, I find your concept art as presented here too discordant in terms of its components. I think your 'mushroom houses' are supposed to be phallic, but they don't capture the Freudian menace and fascination of Bourgeois's phalluses; they are too 'The Smurfs' and Disney Toadstool to then reconcile with the other towers in your city, which are much more intimidating. I think too that you're giving too much space over to trees, roads, verges and signage, when surely Bourgeois' city offers more fascinating design challenges? I'd like you to take me into the city, not strand me here on the outskirts next to some fat, funny toadstools...
I'd also like to see a matte painting without any mountains in them - use the matte painting to extend and enrich the scale of the city - don't spend time drawing me a lovely mountain (no one has asked you to 'design a mountain' after all!).
Short version: you can do better, Tumo! Show me this city. (I do like the idea however of it being like Sodom and Gormorrah - a punished metropolis!).
