"Flatland: The Movie" is an exciting half-hour animated film based on Edwin Abbott's classic novel. Flatland is an entirely two-dimensional world where different shapes live, work, and play--all under the rule of the evil Circles who are determined to keep the third dimension a secret, at any cost. The story follows Arthur Square (Martin Sheen) and his curious granddaughter Hex (Kristen Bell). When the mysterious visitor Spherius (Michael York) arrives from Spaceland, Arthur and Hex face grave danger as they begin to come to terms with the truth of the third dimension. Combining action, drama, geometry, and sociopolitical commentary, this moving story challenges audiences to grasp the limitations of their assumptions about reality and to think about the possibility of higher and previously inconceivable dimensions (both literal and metaphorical). DVD features: 4-D short feature: Brown University mathematician Thomas Banchoff discusses Flatland and the fourth dimension Interviews with cast members Martin Sheen, Kristen Bell, Michael York, Tony Hale, and Joe Estevez English and Spanish subtitles Full text of the novel that inspired the movie

评分 评分文/鲁冬旭 许多读者恐怕对《平面国》并不熟悉,至少我在开始翻译前对其知之甚少:除了《生活大爆炸》里谢尔顿的推崇,我压根没在别处听说过这部作品。 1884 年出版,作者埃德温·A. 艾勃特是牧师、神学家、古典文学学者、公立学校校长——成书年代和作者的身份都让我下意识想拒...
