影片讲述了一个三段式的恐怖故事，亚洲背景则是一个被一种奇妙的信号频率逼疯的世界：亚洲在特梅纳斯市的新年前夜，任何形式的通信设施，都因为一个高深莫测、谜一般的信号而受到了阻碍，它掠夺走了这个城市中每一个人的恐惧和绝望，迫使了一半的人因为无法抵制的杀戮欲而发了疯，也导致另一半的人因为随时害怕被猎杀而陷入了水深火热的恐惧当中，街道上到处是横七竖八的尸体，这个曾经因为和谐而著名的城市，也随即变成了一种彻底混乱的状态。镜头很快就对准了本，这个非常具有反叛精神的小伙子必须得从一家疯人院中救出他所爱的那个女人，同时还包括那已经发疯、虐待成性的丈夫。可是本却只能靠自己去完成这些，因为他没办法发现“信号”的本质，所以他也无法相信任何人，还要强迫自己不要屈服于暴力的招唤下。
回复 :这电影估计不会有多少人留意，因为单单看年代，1948年，就会直接忽略过去了。别嫌这个电影译名老套，要是喜欢爵士乐的朋友，这可是非常经典的电影，不信的话，你可以看看演员列表就知道了。一位编纂音乐百科全书的教授，决定走访民间收集现实生活音乐材料，遇上了想摆脱帮派男友的迷人爵士歌手，从此巧遇了一段美妙开怀的音乐与爱情体验。A Song is Born，1948重摄改编于Ball of Fire，承接了类似的故事架构，却更纯粹多彩。全片集结了许多一时之选的爵士歌曲，例如女主角Honey Swanson以独特嗓音演唱的DADDY-O，以及STEALIN' APPLES，FLYING HOME，I'M GETTIN' SENTIMENTAL OVER YOU还有MUSKRAT RAMBLE，随兴悦耳的旋律，都珍贵地随着电影保存下来。 此片的多彩更表现在强大的卡司阵容。Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton and Charlie Barnet.活跃于Big Band(大乐队爵士)时代的著名人物，在这部电影里齐聚一堂。1948年，是继Big Band而起的摇摆爵士乐逐渐没落的年代，这样的齐聚一堂相当具有历史意义!而爵士樂的指标性人物Louis Armstrong，也在此片中飾演自己。他沙哑富感情的嗓音也原汁原味的保留了下来。 从任何方面来看，此片都是绝对不能错过的爵士经典!
回复 :Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.
