Scenes from My Architect
The theme is Architecture in movies
First 4 images of Ritz, louvre and Rosalyn are in ‘Da Vinci Code’
The next 2 – fort knox and trellick tower in James Bond ‘Goldfinger’
And the last one of course from ‘My Architect’
Good question… 😀
Oh forgot to scroll below… turns out ‘Fountainhead’ was also one of the movies
So scrolled more and there were more movies… lol so will list all of em now:
My Architect
Goldfinger
Da Vinci Code
Fountainhead
Blade Runner (bad one.. :D)
Aeon Flux (love the Architecture in the movie)
And of course the one below that – Quantum of Solace… not a part of the series but I’m guessing a part of the inspiration for the set up…. 😀
The theme of the week is Architecture in Movies.
Well like I said, by bad one I meant it was fictitious work which connected it to the theme too directly. So did ‘My Architect’ and ‘Fountainhead’ where you showed scenes from the movie.
Aeon Flux, Goldfinger and Da Vinci Code were great representations for a quiz of this theme. (Even ‘Quantum of Solace’ would have been… :D)
And BTW great reading on that ‘Blade Runners’ site. Its funny when you look back to have actually watched the movie as a kid and now actually see the detail of environment the movie dealt with. It’s true man, some civilizations are expressed through their architecture alone.. 😀
