What do you think about screens in movies and television?
Personally, I hate it, and have abandoned many productions because of it.
In most cases:
- you can see that they are artificial
- interfaces don’t make sense. Often the cursor is missing, etc.
But Searching and Missing showed that if there are willingnesses, it is possible not only to prepare well, but to base an entire film on them.
Eh, as an IT guy, I love seeing computer screens on TV. They’re either a good laugh, or they can be quite interesting.
Among the interesting/iconic interfaces:
I also love seeing vintage/fake-vintage interfaces in movies, such as SolarOS (a take on Solaris) in Tron: Legacy
and all the hilarious ones such as the infamous “I’ll create a GUI in Visual Basic to track the IP address” scene in CSI.
Also, here’s a bonus link for you retro fans: https://www.windows93.net/
I loved that Trinity actually uses Nmap to port scan during Matrix 2.
Mr Robot was good too.
I loved the Nostromo’s computers in Aliens. Vintage future.
