VALERIAN and the City of a Thousand Planets

Logeshwaran Muthu // 1001232788

Set in a future (mid 26th century) where humans discovered how to travel through time and space almost instantaneously, the story revolves around "spatio-temporal agents " 



Major Valerian cast by Dane DeHaan and Sergeant Laureline cast by Cara Develeinge as they investigate a mystery that threatens to destroy alpha, a massive space station that plays home to million of species from around the whole universe. The climate of city of thousands planets is zero because the whole space ships are connected to each other in the outer space itself instead of landing on any of the planets in the universe. The climate in planet Mul is heavenly beautiful for the people there. The bright sky enhances the entire planet and it clearly showed how innocent and how good the people are. The landscape in planet Mul is also breathtaking, beach and crystal clear water and also the beautiful pearls they have. 



In planet Mul they have a cute little creature called a "converter" which can apparently makes copies of any substance or material it ingest (even diamond and pearls). The people in planet Mul live in groups and they live peacefully with each other with a policy of thanksgiving for the Mother Nature.


The pearls in that planet plays big role for the whole community and they live in their own houses looks very godly and pearls are everywhere. Form observation of scenes the economy of people in the planet mul is pearl exchange. They seems to get good nutrition from pearls so their main work for them is look for pearls in the ocean and there is no poverty.

The mystery of alpha statio is the main conflict of the movie, but if mostly serves as an ancillary support system for Valerian and Laureline's aimless wandering. The duo chase conspirators and go in rescue missions to save each other from random alien threats. The people in alpha have the power over their own life. They can devised what to do tomorrow and they are free and have all the privileges which lies on earth. The lifestyle/ritual in alpha has almost the ok the earth but in planet mul they have different rituals as in live for the Mother Nature. 

Ethics / morals in alpha has been loosen since the technology took over human nature but in planet mul eventhough they learned technology in a short time, they still have the intention of going back to Mother Nature lifestyle. The spiritual life in planet Mul is stronger than city of thousand planets.

The organised leadership. Emotions are mostly framed in the city of the thousand planets. Valerian and the city of thousand planets shows flashes of the fun, excitement and infatuating you'd hope to see in a modern space opera. Many of valerian's coolest design, walking goldfish bowls, the underwear alien farmers and peacock human hybrid of alpha station and many more of the entirety do not get the times and attention they deserve. The director portrayed creativeness of art is important. 


Rihanna portraying her character (bubble), a cabaret performer with prostitution looking. From one of her interview "she's in this place, she has to perform, and the thing that makes her feel free is her performing" she explained. 

The artist, her becoming whatever, and making people feel happy that way. People are in general content with this world but they would be happier in planet mul with peacefulness of the planet. 

Architecture in this movie is a big flop. The enhancement of architecture showed lesser and meaningless for the people. The cramped city without a proper planning do not give any comfort for the people. The mind of technology take over the place of architecture. The spaces distort human perception.

SIMPLICITY AND COMPLEXITY

 SIMPLICITY AND COMPLEXITY Regards of simplicity and complexity which we had discussed from the lecture today, I will be discussing about the design project that I had developed during my Year 2 Sem3. In the project, we are required to design a Art Gallery in a specific site which located in Shah Alam. The reasons I choose this specific project is because I find that the layout design and outcome of the building suits well to the ‘Simplicity’ concept. Simplicity ,t he result is a beautiful rhythmic quality. Repetition with a simple expression of materials creates the  architecture's simplicity .  The building basically is a two storey building which blend in with natural and modern element.   From the ground floor , the first thing we can see is  the lobby and the reception area which is located in the middle of the building. As the building is purpose for the people who doing quilting activity , so the lobby is set at a moderate area whi...
