独眼巨人博士

如果你对“科学疯狂”题材的老电影有耐心，这部《独眼巨人博士》值得一看。Schoedsack用大量中景镜头保持被缩小者对庞大环境的压迫感，而非依赖廉价跳吓；Albert Dekker饰演的博士通过缓慢的语调与病态亢奋的表情切换，塑造出偏执与傲慢的层次——他对待实验对象如蝼蚁的轻蔑，比后来同类角色更显冷静可怖。演员Albert Dekker把这种克制型恶人演得很到位，你甚至会走神想“他是不是真觉得自己在做合理实验”。剧情推进不快，但每个细节（比如被缩小的角色用大头针当长矛）都让你真切感受到那种寸步难行的绝望。适合喜欢老派冒险科幻、不介意慢节奏但追求情绪沉浸的观众，尤其是对“渺小”这件事有生理性恐惧的人。本片适合对早期彩色电影工艺有好奇心的观众，尤其推荐给关注“微观叙事”与“放大恐惧”之间视觉辩证法的影迷。

　　"Dr. Cyclops" is known as one of the better "early sci-fi" films, made in '39 and released in 1940. (It is also in color.) But while the story has potential and there are some good moments, this is a very confused film.
　　The plot is simple - crazy mad scientist on some remote island can shrink animals, and wants to try it on humans. He manages this on a scientific team that came to check things out. They get angry, and the crazy scientist eventually gets really angry because his new shrunken subjects won't cooperate.
　　The thing is, the film doesn't seem to know if it wants to be a thriller, or a goofy movie. Dr. Cyclops (never called that but referenced to a Cyclops after one lens in his glasses breaks) looks cool in his "30's style sci-fi helmet" as he performs experiments and can be chilling at times. But there is so much "Disney-style goofy music" going on that it is hard to take anything seriously. The music belongs in a family comedy for the most part, and is played when the shrunken people do things like try to survive, and creep around the floor. Add that a few of them have pretty gruesome deaths and that just adds to the confusing atmosphere.
　　The FX aren't so bad but nothing special. The giant sets built are pretty impressive though. There is a scene where little fires are tossed at a real crocodile's head which probably made animal activists angry.
　　It also takes a long time for anything to really happen. This movie could have been done in a nice tight half-hour. Good for a viewing, but you probably won't watch again. The performance of the guy who plays Dr. Cyclops is definitely the main attraction.
