occupation with Monsters , one can not help but engage with its extraordinary history of production. His feature film debut has Gareth Edwards namely, for a paltry $ 20,000, and virtually single-handedly put on the legs. Without permission to shoot without exact script and especially without proper crew, he has made with its two leads and an ordinary camcorder on a journey through Mexico and filmed, where it just went straight. Then he not only has it gathered material laboriously edited into a half-hour feature film, he also has all the visual effects on the home computer itself created. The result: Monsters no less than the most impressive to date, Behind-the-cameras-one-man show at all.
reminds Thematically, the film strongly District 9 , even if Edwards was already in the middle of the shooting, as Neil Blomkamp delivery points surprise hit. Nevertheless, distinguishes the approach of the two films finally: While mutated District 9 the longer the longer, like an action-Kracher, deceive at Monsters the impression of an action-packed science fiction thriller, which is suggested by the trailer. Tellingly, it is the film as a drama with both eerie and romantic elements characterized. This is the name Edwards also Lost in Translation as one of his main inspiration points.
really much action Monsters has not actually offer. The focus is much more the viewing experience, which can directly experience a world through the eyes of the protagonists. Thanks to their fresh, often improvised play and the documentary camera operator one has the feeling of really being there and to experience the events firsthand. With its claim to tell the story möglichtst realistically, raise Monsters therefore interesting associations with the Dogme films. By the way is very cleverly by allusions to current political Debates created a certain profundity. Thus, the immigration problem the U.S. but raised about the moral dubiousness of war reporting. This does not begin to the dimension of the apartheid analogy of the above District at 9, but it helps Monsters to let viewers the conflicts seem familiar and realistic.
pity that the film is not the interest of the audience can maintain all the time and miss a big finale at the end can. Finally now makes again a limited, or simply not existing budget noticeable. Nevertheless Monsters is a pure triumph: Without comparable means Edwards has created a film that can range from the Edge of the millions of products in terms of creativity and innovation like loose the water. We are excited about what this man brings about, then even if he has some money available. was
