La Digue

Georges Méliès' adaptation of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" is most distinguished, today, for being a color film of the classic story. Color was rare in 1902 (and many years after) as non-tinted color has to be hand painted on the film; this was an arduous task. Also notable is the film's short running time of approximately five minutes. Much of the original work is not covered, but viewers were expected to be familiar with the story, and enjoy the filmed highlights. There are a couple of scenes missing; according to contemporary reports, Gulliver's shipwreck was certainly included. You can do a lot in a few minutes, as Mr. Méliès includes a re-make of his own "Une partie de cartes" (1896), which already looked like something previously covered by the Lumière Brothers.

Olabilecek bütün aksaklıkların gerçekten olduğu bir film setinde geçen bir günlük bir çekimi anlatıyor film. Yönetmeni, oyuncuları, teknik ekibi ve de seyirciyi çıleden çıkaran aksaklıklar bunlar, patlayan lambalar, atlanan replikler, kayıp kameraman, sete giren huzsuz cüce, daha neler neler... Bir yandan çekimin kontrolden çıkmasıyla gelişen absürd olaylara gülerken; bir yandan da bu yetenekli genç ekibe sempati duymamak, herşeye rağmen belki de başarabileceklerini anlayınca kapıldıkları müthiş heyecanı paylaşmamak elde değil. Sürreal ve çok hoş, ama hep beklenmedik olaylarla dolu, manik tarzda, sofistike güldürüyle el şakalarının karışımı bir komedi....
