Movie: Dark City
Date: 1998 Category: Dark Director: Alex Proyas Big Stars: Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Keifer Sutherland |
Suppose that there is a God. Now imagine that the universe and everything in it wasn't created billions of years ago, but was dreamt into existence only last Sunday. Or maybe even a mere three minutes ago. That what we take to be our entire existence and lives, everything we know are actually false memories implanted into us, with a few fabricated artifacts such as faded old photos to serve as reinforcements of our perceptions. Dark City is quite a rarity: It is both visceral and cerebral at once. The film combines a very intelligent story line with some stunning production designs and special effects. The setting is an era-less brooding city of gloom that floats in a sunless world. John Murdoch (Sewell) wakes up in a motel room with a dead body and no memory of his life. This classic noir idea is played out against a science fiction backdrop. |
