Pastiche in Alan’s Fantasy: a journey with art history

Teleportation (the song) and the film of Fantasy in brief traces references from the great masters of art across the history. However, borrowing visual inspiration from great art in film and videos has its own history. From the masterpieces in film history to popular shows they are not new.

 "There are movies galore that tell the lives of artists, and films beyond number that feature art work in some way, from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off to Bande Á Part to Skyfall. But some films have a relationship with art that is a little closer and more personal. Often, filmmakers include artworks in their production design plans as an inspiration or mood board; sometimes they build the whole look of their film around a piece of art (although we're not covering artists that actually worked on films here - sorry, Dali)"...  [The Paintings That Inspired The Movies.

Popular paintings that may—or may not?—have been the inspiration behind films… Without denying the sheer enjoyability of such speculations it is sometimes a bit of a leap of faith to claim that not just one or a few sequences but a whole film or at the very least the whole ‘feel’ of a film has been inspired by one single painting. Nevertheless, it would be unfair to ignore an obvious trend to indulge in this. That is why McIver’s study (see bibliography) is so valuable because it focuses precisely on how filmmakers use images from paintings and on the links between the two art forms.

Here, the references are not only a mere visual inspiration for us, but they are containing a deeper homage to the journey of humankind, the genealogy of intellectual journey in the fields of science, philosophy and psychology, and all has a deep-rooted connection to art.

Here let us have a revisit:

In a way Alan symbolized a futuristic way of thoughts to explore the possibilities of existence. And the same was there in Leonardo da Vinci’s the Vitruvian man. From a principle paradox of combining a perfect square and a perfect circle to raising the prospects of human as the center of the universe according to the renaissance belief, Leonardo combined art, philosophy, science and architecture into the same plane. From ‘trapped in a stuffed form’ Alan aspires for a perfect shape and anatomy.

Rodin’s thinker in the backdrop supplements resembles Alan’s anguish.

In the context of creating a new life definitely The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo was the foremost idea that we all had. 

Spectators find Van Gogh references in many layers: in complex ways. Complex because they come with the baggage of scientific discoveries along with the psychological and expressionist temperaments. For the turbulence: something not static, constantly moving. In fact you’ll find some connection with names like Werner Heisenberg in relation to Van Gogh’s treatment of Turbulence.

That yellow room of Van Gogh bears the relation with his friend Paul Gauguin. In a story of companionship, it has an immediate connection. 

The Edward Munch relation is there for the expressionist feelings: aspiring for an emotionally driven storytelling. 

Some Gustav Klimt connection is there for the idea of companionship and the love and intimate relations. 

also in subtle manners spectators may find connections with Caravaggio (narcissus)  and Mark Chagal as well.

Considering above all, the teleportation is a celebration of the History of Art, and rather, a history of thoughts.
