[edit] Unlimited or limited?
should that word unlimited actually be 'limited' ? i havent seen the film but from the context of the article that seems like a mistake. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.245.29.229 (talk • contribs) 05:26, 31 January 2005.
- The process only worked for a limited time until Benes discovered how to make it unlimited - they want to save him so they can use his knowledge to shrink people and machinery without the 60-minute time limit. Lee M 22:43, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I've now rewritten and expanded the relevant paragraphs so that the plot is (hopefully) clearer. Lee M 22:55, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Coolio
There should be a link to a disambiguation page. "Fantastic Voyage" can also refer to a song by the rap artist Coolio.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.65.181.128 (talk • contribs) 05:46, 2 August 2006.
[edit] Quote about Salvador Dali painting from Christie's website
Since it's possible that Christie's will not maintain their web page for Dali's Le voyage fantastique, here's an excerpt from the page about the painting which is cited in the article:
- Le voyage fantastic is an hallucinatory portrait made at the height of Dalí's so-called 'pop' period in New York in 1965. The painting was made as part of the promotion of the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage starring Stephen Boyd, Donald Pleasence and Raquel Welch. Early in 1965 Dalí had been asked by Twentieth Century Fox to be in charge of the artistic part of this groundbreaking science fiction film. Dalí's first response to this challenge was to paint this work which incorporates many of the elements of the film with several of his most recent painterly techniques.
- ...
- In Fantastic Voyage [the painting], these dots are rendered as a flat field in an op-art way that combines to form a partially recognisable image of Raquel Welch. This image is shown dissolving into particles in a way that echoes the plot of the film in which a crew of scientists were reduced to molecular scale and injected into the body of a man in order to save his life.
- Dalí's painting of the subject seems to describe this transformation. Split into two halves with one, the facial image, shown dissolving into the figure of the patient at the left, the painting also shows the emergence of the space-suit-clad figures forming from the molecules and their injection into the man's skull. This, Dalí has also mysteriously adorned with a sequence of numbers. In addition, the patient also models another particularly Dalinean feature, an excessively elaborate and bushy moustache.
