As a writer, being on the set of 'Gravity' was such a surreal experience. It was nice to see them using the technology to translate what we had on the page.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What's genius about 'Gravity' is that you are close upon the actors, but 3D works best when you have foreground, middle ground and background.
What I keep searching for in movies, more and more, is the right gravity.
I did see 'Gravity,' but I don't have the enthusiasm to go see a movie as often as I used to go.
When I was younger, I remember there was a really famous book, and it was called 'The People Could Fly.' And so this idea of, kind of like, black characters kind of jumping into space and kind of the challenge that they presented to gravity I thought was really interesting.
Experiencing this film in 2-D is only getting about 20 percent of the experience of 'Gravity.'
I think here in America the space programme was such an enticing thing to be going on, that the thought of a family being able to go into space and live up there was really kind of mind-bending at the time.
Computer animation is one way to liberate people from their circumstantial gravity, and it is one way to give them mental freedom.
I don't know... it's just too much fun to wonder about what life would be without gravity. I just started thinking about outer space more as an adult than I probably ever did as a kid. That was also inspiring, the concept of being stuck to the earth.
As far as the style, I was fascinated by surrealism.
I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.
