Variations of the cinema to graphic image on Gravity from Alfonso Cuarón and Speed Racer from Lily and Lana Wachowski. Realistic images against plastic images
Abstract
This article, a research product, aims to show, how the image operates in contemporary cinema, which is situated in a narrative of counterfeiting and simulation. It is revealed that any effect of reality is always the product of textual forces that either simulates a particular naturalness (fruit of a realistic point of view) or tend to direct falsification (a corollary of the absence of any metaphysical belief). In the same way, a classic concept of image (as a double) is shifted to recognize the structural changes of a cinema that recovers part of the Hollywood classicism and part of European modernity. Following the guidelines of the case studies from an opinion sample (intentional, nonstatistical), two films are taken as corpus (unit of work): Gravity (2013), Alfonso Cuarón and Speed Racer, (2007) by Lily and Lana Wachowski.
