The celebration of 40 years ago, the most and most of it in the history of the film

“Don’t press the audience” is an unwritten talisman in Hollywood. If a film comes out a similar topic or serves similar scenes as a movie you make, you are trying to put a distance between them so that you do not destroy the chances of success. If two films appear very similar, it is possible that the audience will be divided and both. This seems to be a point of view not to think. However, 40 years ago this week, three films were released in a period of seven days very similar, they can almost not be understood. But it happened.

Those films Strange scienceStarring Anthony Michael Hall; A real geniusand championship Val Kilmer; and My scientific projectStarring Fisher Stevens. They were released on August 2, August 7, and August 9, 1985, respectively. What I was fully aware of until I was looking for films to cover the first anniversary and the dates jumped in my face. How did HECK do two, but three films about people who use science to do things outside the wall are released in the same week?

This question, unfortunately, I have no answer. I have a date to look at it and try to search it. When you think about NERDY movies in the eighties, the first thing that most of us think is Revenge from the obsessive. It was released in July 1984, when the film achieved more than $ 40 million worldwide and was largely considered a great success. We can only assume what happened after that, but the fact that these three films appeared nearly a year later Obsessive Certainly, Hollywood was thinking, “We need more films with obsessive as heroes.” After a year, this came out.

The first one of the gate was Strange science On August 2. Strange science It is the story of two proportions (Hall and Ilan Mitchell Smith) who penetrate a computer to form a virtual woman (Kelly Liberuck) can do what they want. This is a noticeable one for several reasons. It was written and directed by the legendary John Hughes, starring a member of the Hughes package in Anthony Michael Hall, the world came to the model Liberok (in one of the most widely -scale roles at all times), and included supportive roles around the world, where there were nearly roles in the world. Tomatoes It has 60 %It is literally between the corrupt and fresh line). But with the largest group stars, holes on top, this is logical.

A few days later, on August 7, A real genius It was released. This is followed by a young miracle (Gabriel Jarrett) that creates incredible laser and is recruited by a university professor (William Atheon) to explore more. But we learn that the professor is already working in the Ministry of Defense to make weapons, and therefore the student and his friends rebel. Most people remember two things A real genius. First, he plays the role of Val Kilmer, the young Val Kilmer in an unforgettable comic role as an eccentric university student, Chris. Second, it ends with a house full of popcorn, while the song “Everyone wants to rule the world” with tears because of the fears plays. However, despite positive reviews in general (77 % on Spoiled tomatoesIt was mostly financial disappointment, as a total of $ 13 million. However, I found life on video and television, as it became a classic thing. This is largely due to the work of the director Martha Colydge, who was previously made Valley girl.

Two days later, and one week after his release Strange scienceHe came My scientific project. This one does not remember most people, and perhaps for a good reason. It is the least limited to the three, as it follows the head of the gears (John Stockwell), who steals something to pass it as a scientific project, which turned out to be a foreign device that can be allowed to travel through place and time. It is very stupid, it has been postponed cash (11 % on Corrupt tomatoes) He got a little more than $ 4 million. I had a strange magic with the aromatic of the movie, I wrote about it here if you are interested in reading. However, in this story, it was the third of the three, to the worst, and most likely took the beating.

Oh, it is very important to remember that It is called a small movie Back to the future It was opened in theaters about a month ago. It is less than the “obsessive” itself, but it certainly focuses on science, it is better without limits, and certainly some of this audience as well.

Why do I write about this? Well, because, as a person who was five years old when these films appeared, by the time when she managed to watch and digest movies after a few years, these were all of the TV pillar. I watched Strange science, real genius, and My scientific project All the time on VHS and TV. Although they all felt that they had scratched similar itching, I was never within a million years, I had not all released in the same week as each other. I felt like a coincidence not to explore a little.

The most important thing to be noticed here, though, is that the launch of films in 1985 was incredibly different from what it is today or even a contract or two decades. In 1985, there were fewer options, less screens, and more time to discover films. Therefore, there may not be many theaters, if any, which played all these three films at the same time. In fact, most people did not know about the three, as it is clear that more marketing dollars entered each other. More than anything else, these films are a realization of the nature of the imitation copies in Hollywood still happening today, at a time when it was less clear or discussed outside the cinema. People only wanted to watch movies. And I love this if these films are smart, funny, and with the heroism they are associated with. In 1985, we relate to progress, we are linked to science, and we are linked to innovation. People who loved these things began to become great again, and these films, while they may not directly affect this, were definitely part of the narration.
