nanorecensioni sci-fi: First men in the moon (1964)

Non solo è del 1964, quindi poco prima del vero allunaggio, ma il film narra di un allunaggio del secolo precedente.

È praticamente una commedia inglese per altro.

La cosa ridicherrima è che nei titoli di testa è citata anche una consulenza scientifica.

SPOILER

Lati positivi? Il "secondo" allunaggio, dove viene scoperto che c'era stato un precedente allunaggio è organizzato dalle Nazioni Unite... un film realizzato nel bel mezzo della corsa allo spazio, in piena guerra fredda, a pochi anni dal vero allunaggio, parte con una spedizione delle nazioni unite sulla Luna e prosegue con la descrizione di un'azione coloniale dell'Inghilterra che si conclude con un massacro di massa.

Lati negativi... a parte l'incipit curioso è una favoletta cialtrona affatto suggestiva tanto che avrò guardato complessivamente 10 minuti di film su 1h40'

Sorry I can't get over how Arnould Galopin's "Le Docteur Omega" (1906) was directly inspired by HG Well's "The Time Machine" (1895) and "First Men In The Moon" (1901).

Having read both The Time Machine and First Men In The Moon (albeit, I read the latter a long while ago and don't remember all the details), I can immediately see where the inspiration comes from, including the same type of material being used to launch a rocket without combustion-- the creation of a material that is lighter than air, and able to be applied to various materials to make them not only incredibly buoyant, but also make them get launched (or explode) violently, lol.

Arnould Galopin published HG Wells fanfic just 4 years after First Men In The Moon was published lol.

I wrote a First Men in the Moon gay fic

First in AO3 baby, might be first in the world (for the novel specifically), everyone should read Bedford and his adventure with his husband Cavor ^^

“Why not,” said I, “make this your new habit? In the place of the one I spoilt?

The affair was over. On my verandah steps, he turned. “I am already greatly indebted to you,” he said.

I made an interrogative noise.

“You have completely cured me of that ridiculous habit of humming,” he explained. -Excerpt from the novel, totally not out of context

Bedford remembers an intimate moment during the drunken period of his time with Cavor on the moon

THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON by H.G. Wells (London: George Newnes, 1901).

The two protagonists journey to the moon and discover it is inhabited by sophisticated, insect-like creatures called Selenites. It is considered the first story of an alien dystopia.

Scientific romance initially serialized in The Strand 1900-1901. Later, in America, it was serialized in Hugo Gernsback’s Amazing Stories 1926-1927.

December, 1926 / January, 1927 / February, 1927 Covers by #Frank_R._Paul.

Ray's first and only film shot in Panavision was unleashed on the 6th of August 1964; check out this action packed poster! We’ll be sharing images of models from the film over the coming week; in the meantime, share your memories of ‘First Men in the Moon’ with us here.

MOON!

Far from being a barren rock, the Moon of Earth actually contains quite an amount of life. Deep inside it lies caverns and seas, created by the intelligent race of insects that developed there to survive the climate changes there. Within it, Fungus-like plants and microbial mats are common outside the colonies of the ant-like rulers of the planet. The seas house might aquatic beasts--and at least one Great Old One.

The Rulers of the Moon are the Selenites. These beings resemble humanoid ants and rely on simple and magical advancements to control their planet. Most of the footmen wield spears or strange, almost semi-automatic crossbows. While some workers can use cannon-like weapons that use crystals to send charged energy against their prey. Like Ants, the Selenites are divided into casts that are born for specific jobs, though they are not all born from a single queen, they behave as though they are a unified force. Because of this, war was unheard of until the arrival of humans in 1899--shortly followed by the Sarmaks. The humans introduced the concept of war to the Selenites, and they were appalled by it. Thankfully, however, it prepared them for the eventual repulsion of the Sarmaks. They remain, however, extremely Xenophobic, but they are polite and courteous with their prisoners. They would much rather have them live and serve the colony than die a needless death. Also on the moon are hideous Moon Beasts, servants of Nyarlethotep who live in the wild caverns of the moon. They seek out unwary sentients to slaughter, torture, or do other horrific things to. The Selenites generally avoid them, as they are so much more powerful than they are physically, and their abhorrence of war prevents them from attacking the Moon Beasts directly. Moon Calves are huge, caterpillar-like animals that are the cattle of the Selenites (though wild ones exist). They are generally docile grazers, but bulls can and will attack if the season is right. Beings from the moon suffer greatly in the earth's atmosphere. They receive a -2 for all strength-related tasks, quarter jumping distances and the inhabitant must roll Constitution (not doubled) rolls or risk becoming fatigued easily. They also suffer a -2 to their combat score from the gravity differential. The reverse occurs for humans and earth-tolerant beings that go to the moon. They gain a +2 to all strength-related tasks (no effect on life points), Quadruple jumping distances, and add +4 to all constitution rolls related to fatigue.

Chris: First Men in the Moon is a British sci-fi film based on lovely incorrect science from H. G. Wells novel, it is amusing, with detailed effects, aliens, and Ray Harryhausen was involved, a faithful adaptation as I recall from the novel, now on Youtube with a bunch of other older films, Watch: When Free.

Richie: It’s a silly, fun, science fiction fantasy with aliens that remind me of the Geonosian Star Wars aliens, Watch: When Free.
