Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.
The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.
神明存在于电影的每一帧之间，也存在于每一个热爱电影的人心中。
善意地给了那些曾经心怀梦想的人一个温柔的梦
电影的缘分真的妙不可言！美中不足就是剧本获奖过于刻意和美好了……
对于二三十岁开始放弃自我，最后靠孙子助攻拿到奖项的烂赌鬼，很难产生共情。还好有永野芽郁在，观感好了一些。
这是一个落魄导演不得志的故事，也是一个美丽女性守护自己的爱情牺牲一切的故事
虽然我不是太喜欢这个故事，甚至我认为男主的个性行为方式都很奇怪，但是导演这种昭和老派的意味还是很吸引人。不论是清水宏还是小津安二郎，亦或者原节子，他们都是那个日本电影黄金时代的电影之神。在这个疫情严峻、电影行业也看起来有些式微的当下，致敬曾经的那些辉煌其实还是会让人感慨并且感动的。50年后的人又会如何看待我们如今的电影呢？
新冠的戏份过于生硬和无聊，这种强行加入的情节，让人感觉太过于游离，但即使没有这些，这剧情也都是跟梦游一样，一会儿天上一会儿地下的毫无逻辑和过度，为了推动情节而强行的硬掰，实在看不出这是个老导演的作品，这想问山田洋次：廉颇老矣，尚能饭否？
看到最后泪流满面
令人无感的山田洋次电影，无论是人物故事的情感关系，还是关于电影的情愫，都无法令人产生共鸣、有着共情。两星。
这部电影不如说是借用了《象棋的故事》。
这是在致敬伍迪艾伦么。。 有才华就坚持下去啊 做编剧去啊 最后去世了还是和别的女的升天了 呜呜呜 好坏啊
山田洋次导演的电影总是让我觉得，啊，这样啊………
感觉跟着老头一样的人多了去了吧，到最后才醒悟，来得及么？北川景子真漂亮啊！
还有最后的谢幕：再见了，志村健先生
“看电影不是用脑子，是用心的。”电影一直是他的爱与痛呢，导演真是既温柔又残忍。
还行吧 雨露均沾？用点精神分析的内核外加一些历史内容
“拍电影的人都不太正经。”
北川景子美翻了
整个故事给人的感觉就是立不住，比如搞不懂为什么女主角会喜欢男主角。山田导演也不是第一次拍这种失败者的电影了，像《弟弟》里就塑造的很成功，更不用说拍了49部的寅次郎，按说该是驾轻就熟的，但这部感觉完全失败，男主最终给人的感觉都只是我酗酒、我赌博、我出轨，但我是个爱电影的好人，而没有刻画出失败者背后的那丝闪光。不过山田导演毕竟91岁了，再加上疫情的耽搁和临时的换角，砸锅也是能理解的，他还能继续拍下去，就是件很让人开心的事情了。
