Sci-Fi is a fascinating and popular genre of cinematography. Types of Fantastic Movies

Fantasy is one of the genres of literature, cinema and fine arts. His beginning he takes in the deep past. Even at the dawn of his appearance, a man admitted the presence of mysterious and powerful forces in the world around him. The first fantasy is folklore, fairy tales, myths and legends. At the heart of this genre lies some kind of incredible, supernatural assumption, an element of something unusual or impossible, breaking the boundaries of a person's reality.

The beginning of the development of fiction in the cinema

From literature, the genre moved to the cinema almost immediately after its appearance. The first fantastic films appeared in France in the XIX century. In those years, the best director in this genre was Georges Méliès. His fantastic film "Journey to the Moon" was included in the golden fund of world masterpieces of cinematography and became the first picture telling about space travel. At this time, fantasy is an opportunity to show on the screen the achievements of human progress: amazing mechanisms and machines, vehicles.

Since the beginning of the XX century, fantastic films are beginning to gain increasing popularity, and the spectator interest in them is increasing.

Types of fiction

In the cinema, fantasy is the genre whose boundaries are difficult to identify. Usually this is a mixture of different styles and forms of cinema. The division into types of film fantasy is, but it is largely conditional.

Science fiction is a story about the incredible technical and other discoveries of a person: the ability to travel in time, cross the space expanses, use genetic engineering, create artificial intelligence.

The film "Prometheus" is an interesting picture with a philosophical sense about the person's search for the answer to the main question: who are we and where did we come from? As a result of archaeological excavations, scientists have received evidence that humanity was created by a highly developed humanoid race. A scientific expedition is sent to search for its creators to the edge of the Solar System. Each member of the team has an interest: someone wants to get an answer, why humanity was created, someone is moved by curiosity, and some pursue selfish goals. But the creators are not at all the same as they were represented by people.

Space Fiction

This kind is very closely intertwined with science fiction. A striking example - recently released on the screens and critically acclaimed film "Interstellar" on the possibility of travel through black holes and the resulting spatio-temporal paradoxes. Like Prometheus, this picture is filled with a profound philosophical meaning.

Fantasy is a fantasy that is closely connected with mysticism and a fairy tale. The most striking example of a fantasy film is the famous epic saga of Peter Jackson "The Lord of the Rings". From the most recent interesting works in this genre one can note the trilogy "The Hobbit" and the last work of Sergei Bodrov "The Seventh Son".
