  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

Amén de algunos cortos, antes de emprender esta película George Lucas había dirigido THX 1138 [tv/dvd: THX 1138, 1971] y American Graffiti (American Graffiti, 1973). La primera era una película de ciencia ficción antiutópica, un tanto en la línea de clásicos literarios como Un mundo feliz o 1984, si bien en el inicio del film aparecen planos del serial Buck Rogers (1939). Esto es muy importante para comprender las influencias de Lucas para con su saga galáctica. Él mismo declaró que, en un principio, su idea era adaptar el clásico cómic Flash Gordon, pero no consiguió los derechos, así pues pergeñó esta historia “totalmente nueva”, si bien muchos investigadores han rastreado influencias hasta acusarlo de plagio.

    www.knowitalljoe.com "THE STAR WARS SAGA ON LOCATION" Feature -2- British production designer Norman Reynolds, a double Oscar winner for STAR WARS ana RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, was given a million dollar budget to clear the valley of vegetation and construct a four acre stockade to house his 30,000 square foot platform which is topped by a sixty foot, fully-rigged, anti-gravity Sail Barge. The true significance of this set will remain a closely kept secret until RETURN OF THE JEDI opens on May 25, 1983. The JEDI crew was in the area for six months, employing more than fifty local residents ana pumping more than two million dollars into the local economy. Associate to the Producer Louis Friedman was relieved to discover that, almost without exception, "I could find anything we needed locally. I just had to look a bit longer ana harder." Assistant art director Chris Campbell concurs: "The merchants here really helped us a lot. They realized that with an operation of this size, when we ord~red a product, we needed it all-- not just a gallon or two." Some of the things they needed were two million gallons of water (drawn from the All American Canal) to continually dampen down and grade the only possible access road and sixteen thousand pounds of nails to keep the massiv~ Sail Barge structure steady.
