Ready Player One Film Analysis

Decent Essays
The science fiction film based on a novel by Ernest Cline - Ready Player One, has the American director and producer Steven Spielberg planning to leave himself out of the cutting room floor.

Ready Player One is a thriller about a kid on a high-stakes treasure hunt, by going through a virtual reality world made in a society that's been preoccupied with '80s pop culture. And even before Steven Spielberg signed on to helm the film version of the book by Ernest Cline, the director was all over the story. But Steven Spielberg wants one exception.

Steven Spielberg said in a wide-ranging interview, "The Ready Player One movie won't have any of my films in it," the director added, "I'm not putting myself in this movie."

An odyssey through Gen X nostalgia will still be included in the Ready Player One film will, but Steven Spielberg plans to cut the book's references to the film most famously played by Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones movies, and the works that Steven Spielberg produced, like the 1985 American comic science fiction film - Back to the Future and the 1985 American adventure comedy film - Goonies.

I'm going to do the whole pop culture thing. I'm just going to leave myself out of the film," "I can't do that. Too self-referential."

However, director Steven Spielberg was hooked on the story of Ready Player One by the presentation of Ernest Cline of a world where everyone would rather occupy a simulated one rather than the real one.

Director Steven Spielberg said, "I think it's the future," Spielberg also said, "I'm telling this plot for the reason that I really feel what's in Ready Player One is going to be in our lives before we know it."

Steven Spielberg said that he's trying to get the entire cast by the first of the year, and start shooting Ready Player One film in July.

And Steven Spielberg said that Ready Player One is set for release in December

    Another great example for production design in science fiction movies is the movie Ex Machina. To begin with, production design includes the design of sets which makes set design one of the most important aspects while producing a movie. For example, one of the points set design deals with is the location where the film is going to be shot. Funderburg (2015) explained that in the movie Ex Machina, they used two Norwegian locations both designed by the architects Jensen & Skodvin. One of the locations is a private mansion and the second one is the Juvet Landscape Hotel, which consists of single suites secretly linked to the fjord and forest around them (para. 2).…

Gene’s visit to Devon 15 years later is the first scene of the book. The movie started at the start of his summer session. Missing this scene of the book made it lose the feeling that Gene forgave himself for Finny’s death.…

    One thing Heschel said of prophets is “While others are intoxicated with the here and now, the prophet has a vision of an end” (11). Recently, Dicaprio helped produce and also starred in a documentary called Before the Flood. One thing particularly striking that was said in this documentary was “When I have children, everything that we now all take for granted, our planet, and all its biodiversity and beauty, everything in the future is gonna be different” (Dicaprio, Before the Flood). Rather than thinking about the here and now, Leonardo is thinking about the next generations and how different the world will be if the people living here now do not do something to change it. Another example of Dicaprio’s thoughts about an end is a statement from a speech he gave on Earth Day.…
