science fiction ideas的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

APUJAN Spring Summer 2020 "A Strange Thief of Time", London Fashion Week.

APUJAN 將以關於科幻、奇幻、時間流逝故事為發想的主題，於 2020 春夏倫敦時裝周帶來全新篇章 「怪奇的時間盜賊」（A Strange Thief of Time）。

The inspiration for this season’s collection began with stories about time. Apu Jan, an avid reader since he was a child, drew inspiration from the books he was reading and provides a reading list so guests can get a better understanding of where his concepts have originated. This season, the list consists of three books: Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett, The Thief of Time by John Boyne and A Thief of Time by Tony Hillerman. Despite having the same title, these three authors used their stories to explore very different concepts and themes, which provided a fertile soil for the ideas we will see featured in this collection. APUJAN is using this collection to tell his own story, a science fiction fantasy involving time lapses. It features time thieves, stolen time, time observers, interweaving timelines, time movement, and confused time, within both retro and sci-fi settings. In his collection we can see flowers blossoming and dying, deadwood, dinosaur bones, stars and clocks, all of which symbolise the flow of time. Looking at the designs, we can see colour blocks, lines and staggered weaves, alongside re-constructed design pieces and skewed necklines, all of which reflect the disruption wreaked by time. The hairstyles of the models have been designed to conjure images of a time vortex. Continuing on from his previous seasons, APUJAN leads us into his fantasy world, with subsequent pieces opening new chapters and volumes in one seamless tale. Choices of packaging and tags also reinforce this impression, even the dresses feature book pages and stories to further complete the imaginative narrative.

受到英國作家 Terry Pratchett、愛爾蘭作家 John Boyne 以及美國作家 Tony Hillerman 的作品影響，「怪奇的時間盜賊」訴說時間流逝，關於那些被竊取的時間、關於時間的觀察者、時間流動的軌跡以及錯亂的時間軸，透過多樣化的針織技藝和原創布料搭配東⽅傳統服飾元素，試圖讓服裝成為可以被閱讀的一篇篇故事。歪斜的領口設計和重新改組的款式，象徵被打亂的世界；服裝上色塊、線條和交錯織線中，隱現著花開花落、枯木、恐龍骨骸、星星與時鐘等品牌元素，象徵時間流動的穿梭痕跡，既復古又科幻，展現APUJAN對架空世界觀的異想。

《天能》的全球豪賭能拯救電影產業嗎？
Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ Makes a Global Bet on the Film Industry

♾ In Christopher Nolan’s new thriller, “Tenet,” the fate of humanity pivots on characters moving back and forth through time. It is an epic, brain-bending exploration of ideas the filmmaker has spent decades examining.
在克里斯多福諾蘭的全新驚悚片《天能》裡，人類的命運取決於在時間中穿梭來回的角色身上。這部史詩級的燒腦大片在探討導演花了幾十年考究的想法。

-thriller: 驚悚電影
-brain-bending: 燒腦，腦洞大開。形容大腦被扭曲，相似的詞還有
-mind-bending: 難以理解、費神的
-filmmaker: 電影人，製作電影的人，此處指上一句提到的諾蘭導演。


⏳ But now, as “Tenet” opens after multiple delays in cinemas around the world, it comes loaded with symbolism that its writer and director could never have foreseen. As the first big-budget theatrical release since Covid-19 struck, “Tenet” represents one of the biggest gambles in Hollywood history—from the studio wagering it can release the movie amid the pandemic, to long-dormant theater chains banking on it spurring a recovery for their business, to potential ticket buyers balancing safety concerns with their urge to get back to the big screen.

如今，隨著《天能》在世界各地電影院多次延後上映，它所承載的象徵意義是其編導永遠無法預料的。作為新冠疫情來襲後首部在電影院上映的高成本電影，《天能》代表著好萊塢史上最大的賭注之一，從片商打賭能在疫情中上映，到長期沈寂的連鎖戲院希望靠它帶動生意復甦，以及潛在消費者權衡安全顧慮與重返大銀幕的衝動。

-load: 裝載，滿載
-symbolism: 象徵主義
-wager: 賭注，打賭，打包票
-bank on: 指望，依賴，依靠


💫 Mr. Nolan, though known as a champion of the theatrical experience, is somewhat uneasy with all the significance assigned to his sci-fi spy picture. “This is the most radical shift in my career, my lifetime, between the making of a film and the world it goes out into, and I’m still grappling with that,” he says.

諾蘭雖以擁護戲院體驗而著名，卻對他的科幻諜報片被賦予的重大意義感到些許不安。他說：「這是我職涯和人生中最劇烈的轉變，從製作電影到在現今的世界發行，我仍在理解整件事情。」

-sci-fi: 科幻故事 science-fiction
-spy picture: 諜報片，picture指電影
-radical: 激進的，徹底的
-grapple with: 與...扭打；試圖處理或瞭解困難的問題或主題

Phoenix Point
พากย์ไทย แปลไทย เนื้อเรื่อง

Phoenix Point is a strategy video game featuring a turn-based tactics system that is developed by Bulgaria-based independent developer Snapshot Games. It was released on December 3, 2019 for macOS and Microsoft Windows, with Xbox One and PlayStation 4 ports arriving in 2020.

Phoenix Point is intended to be a spiritual successor to the X-COM series that had been originally created by Snapshot Games head Julian Gollop during the 1990s.

Phoenix Point is set in 2047 on an Earth in the midst of an alien invasion, with Lovecraftian horrors on the verge of wiping out humanity. Players start the game in command of a lone base, Phoenix Point, and face a mix of strategic and tactical challenges as they try to save themselves and the rest of humankind from annihilation by the alien threat.

Between battles, the aliens adapt through accelerated, evolutionary mutations to the tactics and technology which players use against them. Meanwhile, multiple factions of humans will pursue their own objectives as they compete with players for limited resources in the apocalyptic world. How players resolve these challenges can result in different endings to the game.

In 2022, Earth's scientists discovered an extraterrestrial virus in permafrost that had begun to melt. Only about one percent of the virus's genome matched anything recorded by scientists up to that time.[3] Named the Pandoravirus, humans and animals who came into contact with it mutated into horrific abominations. By the late 2020s, a global apocalypse began when melting polar icecaps released the Pandoravirus into the world's oceans. The alien virus quickly dominated the oceans, mutating sea creatures of every size into hybrid alien monsters capable of crawling on to land.

The oceans transformed in alien ways after which the Pandoravirus began to infect the world's landmasses with an airborne mutagenic mist. The mist was both a microbial contaminant and a conduit that networked the hive-mind of the Pandoravirus. Humanity was not prepared; everyone who failed to reach high ground where the mist could not reach succumbed to it. The monstrosities of this future world are intended to evoke themes of tentacles and unknown horror familiar to fans of H. P. Lovecraft. Likewise, the works of John Carpenter influence the themes of science fiction horror, particularly related to the mist that both hides alien monsters and creates them.

The game starts in 2047. The alien mist and monsters created by the Pandoravirus have overwhelmed and destroyed worldwide civilization, reducing the remnants of humanity to isolated havens that are sparsely spread across the planet. The Pandoravirus controls the oceans, contaminating all sea life, and has brought humans to the brink of extinction on land. Various factions control the havens of humanity, and they each have very different ideas of how to survive the alien threat.
