科幻电影Arrival的幕后故事:一次好莱乌大导演与编程界大神的跨界合作 ——分析和翻译外星人的语言

无论是在科学研究,还是在科幻小说或影视作品中,外星人一直是世人所热衷的话题。如果有一天,外星人真的降临地球,人类将如何与外星人沟通,明白他们的语言呢?好莱乌导演Denis Villeneuve以此为灵感,创作了科幻电影Arrival ( 《降临》 )。他和他的创作团队请来了两位在编程界的大神级人物——电脑科学家Stephen Woflram 和Christopher Wolfram,与两人合作,将真实的科学搬上了大屏幕。 在电影拍摄过程中,Christopher主要负责分析和编写一种虚构的非线性视觉语言的代码。在1月31日,他在LiveEdu.tv上开通了直播,把整个开发过程与大家分享。

这好莱乌导演与科技大牛的跨界合作引起了很多人的关注。先后有多家网站,包括Space.comOuterPlaces.com等等对此作了报道。大家都很有兴趣想了解更多这次合作背后的故事。SlashFilm.com甚至撰写了文章Science vs. Cinema Arrival episode来引发读者的讨论,并且还采访了Wolframs及其他几位科学家:Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams 和Villeneuve。 Wired magazine还采访了Christopher Wolfram, 了解他如何把Wolfram语言代码有效地呈现在电影中的电脑屏幕上。对此感兴趣的话,可以观看Christopher的视频,了解他的开发过程

在此次合作之前,Wolfram Research已经为不少影视作品提供过协助。而为了这次电影Arrival的拍摄,两人还就电影的“科学本质”咨询了多方面的建议。比起以往任何时候,我们现在的世界更离不开科学与技术。喜欢科幻电影的观众群体正在不断扩大。以科幻为题材的故事正在被创作成为优秀的电影作品。如果电影制作人,例如像Denis Villeneuve这样,意识到正确利用科学的重要性,科幻将成为现实中的一部分。
