Danny Boyle diskuterar karaktären och visualiseringen av Pinbacker i stor utsträckning i denna intervju med TwitchFilm och detta -intervju med BlackFilm.
Jag ber om ursäkt om dessa två intervjuer verkar mycket lika (han har tydligt memorerat sina pratpunkter ) men båda citaten lyfter fram olika aspekter av dina frågor.
Varför flimmer han?
It's not so much what is Pinbacker—obviously he represents
fundamentalism—but it's really a challenge to [Capa's] sanity, which
is of course what it would be to go out there
Why we visualized him like that is because of what I said before about
witnessing. It's very difficult to say when somebody has lived out
there for that long, it's not possible but who knows what's possible?
We've discovered extraordinary things. So I wanted him to be spectral,
but not like a ghost. He's literally like the bits that make him
up—the protons and neutrons that make us all up—have kind of
reorganized in some way.
Hade han supermakter?
Q : Why did you add in the radiation-scarred insane mad-killer
Pinbacker character?
DB: It's introducing him into an otherwise realistically based film.
Otherwise, it's an extreme psychological element, really. In a way,
he's a character. He's based on the guy who piloted the first ship,
who has had this transformation....
You have to represent that in some way, and we represented that with
Pinbacker, this guardian of the gates of heaven or hell, whatever you
want to call it. He stands there as a guardian at the gateway. I
wanted to depict him in a way that was as extreme as I could do, which
I could do technically, which is this blurring, this stretching. You
take that kind of risk with somebody. I wanted him to feel that,
literally, the protons and neutrons that make him up had been
reorganized somehow--that he was no longer recognizable as a human,
except that he is still speaking with a human voice and he is captain
of the first ship.
