The Aston Martin was unfortunately out still as scrap heap he urged the the hapless driver opponents respect from: “This interesting car that you drive, Mr. Bond.” So what Goldfinger had never seen before, the cinema audience of the year 1964. also: a silver sports car with machine guns, oil sprayers, Reifenaufschlitzern, a kind Navi and above all an ejector seat for unwelcome passenger.
May the appreciative words of the arch-villain Goldfinger apparently only the driver 007, indirectly perhaps the armorer Q have been considered – to be praised here the film character Goldfinger the man who had invented this fantastic fighting machine in reality. His name:. Adam, Ken Adam
If James Bond, since 1962 in cinema services, can develop such endurance without production designer of the early 007 films? Hard to say, but the sensational early success would have been very weakened into Visual probably without the quasi quasi “adameske” implementation of screenplays. Worked the threatening rooms in “Dr. No “is not nearly as a continuation of exaggerated expressionistic scenes earlier Ufa films, from” Dr. Caligari “to” Dr. Mabuse “?
Ken Adam, who died on Thursday evening in London at the age of 95 years, has gladly made themselves at these early influences that have probably planted the seed in him to his very personal style of stylization, exaggeration, the “Bigger than Life” So the exhibition was titled, which was dedicated to him a year ago in the Berlin Museum for film and television She was giving and thanks also:.. Two years earlier, Adam, the State Minister of Culture Monika Grütters had now than one of the “most creative and influential film architects, a stylish and imaginative Weltenerschaffer” boasted, leaving its extensive archive of German Cinematheque Foundation.
the 007 films he remained in the public eye connected like Sean Connery in the role of the most famous agent of Her Majesty , But as this Adam was never identified with this work, it would indeed be unjust. he has total of 74 films missed his special look, only seven were Bond films, but there were some of the best and most imaginative. pack a mini helicopter as “Little Nelly” in four suitcases? can swallow a giant tankers Three submarines? A volcano converted to the launch pad for space rockets? Was no problem. And the imaginary “War Room” a fictional US president he designed so convincing that Ronald Reagan inquired at the office, exactly where is located the room.
a favorite anecdote of Adam, often told him, not entirely guaranteed – it would be a side effect of his work for “Dr. Strange “-a job that he owed Bond:” Dr. No “Stanley Kubrick had so much that he hired for his nuclear war satire Adam. . Also, for the “Barry Lyndon” designed Adam to look, the film earned him in 1976 the first Oscar one, the second was in 1995 for “The Madness of King George”
On his last film was Ken Adam – since 2003 Sir ! Ken Adam – worked in Berlin, which was 2001, “Taking Sides -The Furtwängler case” by István Szabó. For him, no location like any other. Berlin was the hometown Ken Adams, where he was born on 5 February 1921 as Klaus Hugo Adam, in an upper middle class urban villa in Tiergartenstrasse, the son of the owner of the then-known sports store on Leipziger corner of Friedrichstrasse. The Jewish family emigrated in 1934 to England. First film contacts and study architecture ended the war in which Adam served as a fighter pilot. Early on, he had shown talent for drawing, the returning soldier gave his sister a job in London Studios, starting a brilliant career.
Glittering like the diamond-tipped laser Satellite in the foyer of the Filmhaus at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. The replica of a Adam-invention of “Diamonds Are Forever”, relic of the exhibition of 2015 – and now virtually his memorial. The Berlinale celebrated Ken Adams contribution to the history of film, what the festival in 2015 gave the first demonstration of a Bond film as part of the Film Festival.
