John Carpenter Directed A Cult Classic Sci-Fi Comedy Before Becoming A Master Of Horror

The end of the world associated with John Carpenter – which includes “Something”, “Prince of Darkness” and “In the mouth of madness” – is the final test of faith. All three films offer dark landscapes mired in nihilism, and they tell isolated stories that prove that humanity had no hope to start. Some stories are lessons in foreigners fed by the madness of greatness, while it sings “in the mouth of madness” specifically a more internal interpretation of the end of the world. CARPENTER is weaved a network of suffocating terrorism with this strange Triptych, which confirms its strongest pulse as a horror director who understands the language of fear. To the extent that he entered the beloved horror, “Halloween”, it seems more comfortable compared to the subject matter of the end of the world that leaves humanity completely impotent alone.

Then there are his concessions, such as “Escape from La”, which takes an exciting and full way to transfer the most sensitive B-movie. This series can be seen somewhat all over the rest of its roles (except when these ideas crowned brilliance, as in “live” or “attack on circle 13”). Looking at Carpeter’s talent in qualitative movement, it will not be strange to believe that his first appearance is a horror or movement, predicted by the type of films that he will make throughout his career. However, the first Carpetter movie, which coincided with a graduation project, was an unparalleled scientific comedy.

I am talking about “Dark Star”, The Carpet Cult Classic made with a small budget of $ 60,000, which used a very humor brand so that the viewing experience can end with my existence. Although the carpenter puts a lot of food in the deliberate style, “Dark Star” helped to expect science fiction classics such as “alien” (!), And thus urged us no Take his legacy as a Muslim.

In 1970, classmate John Carpenter and Dan Obonon began working on a scientific comedy that was supposed to aim to emulate the stunning Stanley Cubic experts, “2001: A Space Odyssey”. The duo wanted to focus on the most secular aspects of space travel, which was sprayed with cases where things were mistaken, such as the self -destruction room in a spacecraft that explodes from the crew supply of toilet paper.

We get some foundational information about this world: humanity has colonized space between stars, emotional computer systems that oversee space tasks, and most information systems are now armed with artificial intelligence. However, none of these aspects of “Dark Star”, as the movie does not see travel to space as a great adventure. Instead, it is a function of blue collar where low/raised salaries are obtained, and they are forced to confront the existential Ennui that is located almost as carrying the same five co -workers inside the narrow space ship. The dust will take advantage of the dangerous terror from this infernal cabin fever, but “Dark Star” depicts it as a boring mind (dark and dark). As Carptter once said, the film is similar to “waiting for Judo” in space.

While the travel of “2001” from Cubic “2001” with transcendent quality, “Dark Star” took a more dark and unrelated approach to this cup of science fiction and extended to the maximum limits. The movie O’Bannon and Carpetter was not a commercial or embarrassing success in the release, but it underwent its re -evaluation and soon achieved the place of worship, which led to inspiration as Ridley Scott’s “Alien”. Scott Scott “Ennui existential” in 1972 “in awe in Mawak in” Alien “, where the first quarrels on the plane are simplified to a tight battle for us” for “for” for survival.

“Dark Star” alternates between funny and deep, and weaves an unpredictable journey that must be experienced at least once in your life. I urge you to watch it if you enjoy midnight marathon that includes the Grungy comedy in space. Do it for John Carpenter!
