In such films, the
mining industry takes an important place: mines, stone pits and
processing plants on other planets. These details of the plot are
present in almost all the films of this genre.
However, often
mining and processing units are very superficial, tangential in
movies.
I can speculate about the reasons for these. It is most
likely that the directors of the films are afraid to show the mining
industry in more detail in order to avoid the criticism of
professionals and skeptics. Also fresh ideas are needed.
In my humble
opinion the mining theme is pushed undeservedly into the shadow by cinema. Nothing prevents the filmmakers to penetrate deeper into
the problem and put the mining facilities and technology in the movie
in full and in such futuristic reality that the viewer's brain will
literally explode on the volume and quality of the seen. Many people
almost do not read books. Their worldview is formed mainly through
television (today's picture) and cinema (futuristic trends).
People often have a distorted view of reality and a very vague and
uncertain view of the future.
Meanwhile, the
cinema have a huge educational potential. Given that
the supply of information comes unobtrusively, fun and it is
cost-effective for the film companies.
Mining in the minds
of people is usually associated with something harmful and negative (such as a natural or artificial disaster). But this is not quite
true. Plus, mankind has never been able to abandon the mining
industry and will not be able to do it.
It would be nice to
add a positive to this thread.
"It means your
future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever
you make it, so make it a good one. " (Dr. Brown. Back to the
Future).
Let's show the
mining, as we want it to be.
Cinema often has the inverse effect:
it shapes the future by its own films.
As analogy with the books of
Jules Verne. French writer had an excellent level of education and
great imagination, but he was not a prophet. Jules Verne only carried
out a competent PR of very good ideas in a very interesting and
exciting art form. So these ideas came to dominate at the mass
consciousness of the 19th century and defined the main directions and
forms of the technical thinking. Jules Verne is not a prophet, he is
a creator! We are convinced in this.
What prevents us to
repeat this success only by a more powerful and impressive technical
tricks of fine art of movie?
For my part, I can
promise to add to your movie or cartoon, at least a few of these
realistic "delicious" features about the future of mineral
processing.
The movie will sparkle by different colors and will
qualify for the glory of the prophetic movie.
My experience and
outlook allows me to such forecasts in concentration and processing
of minerals. I can quite clearly outline the main trends in this area
for a hundred years ahead.
All this will be very realistic and
reproducible. Such scenery or special effects can decorate a movie or
be the cornerstone of its story. The audience will believe in the
realism of what it saw on the screen. In their minds the reality will
be mixed with fiction.
It will be very advanced and realistic
elements of future technology.
Today's technology in art is not
interesting - it's too corny. People are interested in tomorrow and
after tomorrow. I'll give it them. I am fully responsible for my
words.
Thank you for your
