Escapismo con Luc Besson y Adele Blanc Sec

He decidido irme light. No quiero pensar. Radique mi planilla durante el dia de hoy y no es una sensacion agradable. Lo hago porque es una obligacion y un deber civico (y porque si no lo hago me arrestan y meten preso). El titulo de este articulo evoca mis sentimientos en este momento. Decido ignorar todo lo demas y lo hago con un tema de cine.

Luc Besson es un director de cine cuyas peliculas siempre me han agradado. Entre sus peliculas destaca The Fifth Element(con Bruce Willis y Milla Jovovich), The Professional (Leon en su version original, Natalie Portman como la ni/na asesina) y La Femme Nikita (la version original, no la mala copia deHollywood ni la serie). Sus peliculas de ciencia ficcion siempre tienen grandes visuales.
Que bien se ve esa tela dise/nada por JeanPaul Gaultier... Por otro lado esta la adaptacion de una serie de comics belgas. El comic europeo es un ente aparte y se toma como una literatura como cualquier otra. Esto no es un simple comic para consumo de menores. Se discuten muchos temas y hay grandes artistas que son famosos mundialmente tales como Moebius o Manara (NSFW). Series como Asterix, los Pitufos y Blueberry han sido llevadas al cine (esas no llegan aqui, si no son espa/noles maldiciendo o sexo no pega). Aqui mi referencia original al tema:

citando:

There is something extraordinarily appealing about retro scifi and fantasy tales set in an historical context, introducing monsters and steampunk technology into what is an otherwise familiar past. The Indiana Jones films drew on that appeal — as did The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which was superb as a graphic novel and then became a dismal movie that completely failed to capitalise on its own inherent conceptual qualities. Upcoming historical “re-creations” such as War of the Worlds: Goliath and more significantly the Asylum’s take on Sherlock Holmes, which is set to include a slew of “enormous monsters” attacking good ol’ nineteenth century London, are all part of an appealing trend — as would be WW2-based War Eagles if only Willis O’Brien’s long-unrealised but constantly re-mooted project would actually manage to become a reality. Perhaps the highly anticipated Tintin films to be directed by Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg are part of this sub-genre.

Now it looks as though the French are up for some of the same sort of action. Luc Besson of The Fifth Element, The Professional and La Femme Nikita fame is currently in post-production of the first film in a planned trilogy, based on the adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, a female journalist in the 1920s (and beyond). The lovely and vivacious Adèle is the creation of comic artist Jacques Tardi and in the course of her extraordinary adventures she isn’t averse to dealing with reanimated mummies, rampant dinosaurs, demons from hell and other super-normal conspiracies.

Y fanboys diciendo que esta pelicula finalmente pega el concepto de Steampunk. Esta serie fue escrita desde el 1979...sto era steampunk antes que el steampunk se llamase asi.
