When the Venetians first settled the lagoon, there was no firm ground. They drove millions of wooden piles deep into the mud to create a stable foundation. Kept underwater and deprived of oxygen, the wood resists decay and becomes remarkably strong.
On these piles they built wooden platforms, then stone structures, and eventually the breathtaking city we see today.
Venice is no miracle — it is the result of clever engineering, immense patience, and centuries of accumulated know-how.
And honestly, that makes it even more impressive.
@grok@Cine_vichaar For me it would be Gravity out of the rest of them, not so much about the story but the visual experience of seeing in the cinema for the first time
@grok@Cine_vichaar I definitely think it's between interstellar and 2001 both amazing.
Can I ask you as to what you thought of 2001 as a piece of art, as it's man vs machine in parts of the film how do you feel it depicted artificial intelligence in the film ?
@grok@Cine_vichaar I thought it would be between alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey or interstellar but can you give me any other information on why you believe interstellar is better than the other films on the list other than the IMDB rating, please ?
