Directed, co-written, co-produced, and co-edited by Alfonso Cuarón, the movie stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. The two superstars play astronauts who go on a space mission and end up the last two survivors of the trip. To create the story, the film incorporated motifs from shipwreck and wilderness survival stories about psychological changes and resilience in the aftermath of catastrophe. Bullock’s character, Stone was used to demonstrate the clarity of mind, one’s persistence, and improvisation in times of isolation. The film also uses spiritual themes in the form of Stone’s daughter’s accidental death, the will to keep going against overwhelming odds, and the impossible rescue. Then, to create a heightened impact within the film, Cuarón fully utilised the perspectives between objective and subjective. For instance, the contrast between the Earth and the depth of endless dark space, as well as the chaos of the debris with the silence of space vacuum. The production had a budget of USD$100 million and began filming in late May 2011. Live elements were shot in the UK while the landing scene was filmed in Lake Powell, Arizona, the same place where the 1968 Planet of the Apes landing scene was captured. The rest of the movie required CG animation, 20 percent more than that of James Cameron’s Avatar. The reason for this move was due to the making of realistic scenes. For most of Bullock’s scenes, she was placed inside a giant mechanical rig for up to 10 hours a day, communicating with others through a headset. To honour and celebrate Bullock’s dedication, the team nicknamed the rig “Sandy’s cage’’ and gave it a lighted sign to create a less claustrophobic atmosphere during filming. Grossing at an impressive amount of USD$712 million worldwide, the movie became the eighth highest grossing film in 2013. Movie: Gravity Running time: 1 hr 42 mins PROGRAMME 1
