...plot is circular: the world is unchanged, a character is dead--but our understanding of the milieu (characters and setting) has been amazing enlarged. The end of Toni repeats the first shot and it is frightening. Filled with an incredibly strong feeling of the world of film--a feeling almost of aesthetic passion--we are unable to act. This closed world, Renoir's creation, is fixed...
...modernistic buildings on a landscape devoid of trees. The lights are always lit. Pavement stretches everywhere. Cars and buses and trains and aircraft are useless; there is no way out. No darkness. No silence. No beds. No escape from an endless series of broadcast announcements, no avoiding the silly, circular games of other people's children. There are queues for food, queues for asking questions, queues for liquor-and finally queues for nothing, because there is nothing left. Then there is only boredom, and the debris of boredom. Dirty glasses, old newspapers, crumpled cigarette packs. Even the people...
...five compartments, two first-class and three economy. Galley-coatrack-lavatory complexes will separate the compartments, and these dividing blocks will also have wide screens for movies. Since the new jets will carry 15 stewardesses rather than the six on the 707s, food service may well be faster. A circular staircase will lead up to a second deck, which can be used as a cocktail lounge. Underneath the passenger cabin, baggage will be stored in some 16 removable containers for speedier handling...
...cular outline about 5,000 ft. in diameter on the upper layer of fog. The chopper then descended to 100 ft. above the fog and, at a speed of 30 m.p.h., began to fly in a gradually enlarging spiral pattern until it reached the edge of the circular outline. Within a minute, the fog began to fade away at the center of the circle. Ten minutes later, a clearing nearly a mile in diameter had been opened above the airport...
Tiny Gyroscopes. The key part of the "Dynalens" system is an adjustable prism that is placed in front of the lens. It consists of two circular glass disks, one at each end of a short cylinder formed by a flexible bellows. The inside of the cylinder is filled with a clear liquid, usually alcohol. By tilting one or both of the glass plates, the cylinder can be made wedge-shaped, like a prism. Light beams entering the glass plate at one end of the prism are thus bent and emerge from the other plate at a different angle...
