The Brothers Rapture - BioShock Short Film

[@lennardchurch8483]

This was a perfect proof of concept that a Bioshock movie can be done well. It just has to focus on characters other than the silent protagonist. "Bioshock: The Fall of Rapture" would undoubtedly fill seats at theaters. People who played the games would go, and people who just like horror/thriller type movies would also go.

[@Bigbabki]

Lennard Church That's what I expect from a movie based upon a "universe" full enough ,. When a movie about bioshock comes out I want to see the illusion and the desillusion of different people living in rapture, How they will react when they will see the first chrosome ,little sister, Big D etc .. I don't want to see what I did in the game in a movie Well This short movie was good ,because He did what I'd expect ,the illusion and dessilusion about Rapture for some people who lived in . Want to see more of that

[@zirofastable]

If a bioshock movie comes out i buy the ticket the second they are available

[@warioman91]

+Lennard Church except that all it is ..... is tropes.

[@Jay-qh6uv]

+Lennard Church I feel like the downfall of many of these suggested game-to-movie adaptions is that they want it to be based around the game protagonist. That doesn't always work. Basing in the world but not necessarily around the main character sometimes works better.

[@lennardchurch8483]

Jaylie Piatt That pretty well paraphrases what I was I summarized as, "It just has to focus on characters other than the silent protagonist," in my first post.

[@frank_n1ng]

"Mountains, brother. I want to forge, MOUNTAINS." Yes that brings back the feeling of the ambitions in the BioShock series!

[@ThePa1riot]

I really liked Arthur. He's exactly the type of man that would have made Rapture a success under better circumstances. You know, agree with it's founding philosophy or not, this really highlights that a lot of otherwise good and innocent people died when the city began to fall apart.

Man it has been years since I've seen this. Still haven't seen a better fan film for Bioshock yet.

[@SurrealInfection]

The guy playing Tippit did an amazing job on his character. I have to give props on the main actors as the brothers during the first time they used plasmids. The grabbing of one another, the scream, and just the simply portrayal of pain isn't exactly an easy thing to pull off with out having some serious "campy" issues the likes of 1970's horror flicks. The camera cutting away/blackout really helped to give the scream a lift too. Well done.

[@johnagudelo3397]

Rapture would make a great setting for a hbo or netflix show. It could about a guy or woman who show up in Rapture hoping for a new life but slowly get pulled into the civil war. Or maybe it could be post war with a guy and his pregnant wife trying to get out of Rapture alive before the baby is born and there can be flashbacks of what their lives were like in Rapture before everything went to hell. I don't care what it's about, I just want a tv series based on Bioshock.

[@Bluekoala626]

There is an official book that's a prequel to the games called "Rapture," by John Shirley. That has all those elements it's really good and even gives insight about Andrew Ryan's personal life. To summarize it, it's the official story of what bioshock was like before it went to shit and it's really really good. It's on Amazon.

[@Bluekoala626]

Also the People who made the bioshock games just signed a deal with Netflix for a movie, they announced it on twitter

[@mirrorofgaladriel]

love this short! My head canon is that this guy is Martin Finnegan, the ice sculptor who Cohen assigns you to kill. Charles, so overcome with the grief of the death of his brother, decides to change his name to Martin Finnegan. He then becomes inspired (like the end of this video) and goes to seek work under Sander Cohen... etc.

[@loki7925]

Bioshock spoiler. As explained in Yi Suchong's Audio Diary, even though they were installed in most parts of the city, the Vita-Chambers were still undergoing trials when Rapture fell into chaos. During these trials, Andrew Ryan was the sole subject to whom they were attuned. Thus, they would only teleport/revive him, or someone with a similar genetic code. This is why only Jack, who is Ryan's illegitimate son, can respawn at these chambers, and not Splicers. After the fatal confrontation between Jack and Andrew Ryan at Rapture Central Control, Ryan doesn't revive because he had intentionally shut off the Vita-Chamber in his office. Ryan's deactivated Vita-chamber can be reactivated by the player.

Beautiful. The end where he starts working on the clay was emotion packed. I do have a few nit picks. Such as, the characters talk like they're in a Shakespeare play. And "I want to make mountains" sounds kind of weak. Other than that. It works so well that it might as we'll be cannon.

[@Bambiraptor0]

The action takes place during the cold war, i'm not sure that's how Americans used to talk in that era but they definitely didn't talk like they do today. the way they speak doesn't seem to far fetched to me. definitely not Shakespearean either.

[@ryangeoghagan3076]

It's just my opinion.

[@fawkespryde9183]

The only issue I have is that Arthur sounded like he was in a hollow tunnel when he talked (at least his first few lines did). I hardly noticed a difference with Charles but Arthur's stood out a lot to me. Other then that, I loved this for the sheer time and effort put into this. From simple things like the tools and gradual ruin of the room as years passed to the more noticeable changes like the posters, the window looking outside and the facial mutations.

[@isaaclopez-cordell243]

+Ryan Geoghagan Personally I thought that phrase was perfect! The whole idea of rapture was only man. No gods, just man. Mountains are something only a god could forge, so in saying he wanted to make mountains, he was saying he wanted to be equal to a god.

Adam may have It's power. But It's faults, the Adam is what gave the people of Rapture power to craft to build to live. But in the cost of insanity and loss of humanity. Adam only destroyed the life in Rapture rather, than build it. Over time the Adam mutated the genes so much It deformed the many people of rapture causing chaos and death ruining the very dreams.

The only complaint of significance that I have about this is that there should have been a close-up of whatever he'd been making after the credits. Some kind of re-created family memento, a plaque, no need to set up a sequel hook or anything, just something to offer a little closure. Certain elements were lackluster but are easily permissible since this isn't some big-budget project. Very well done overall.

[@DrIndy2]

I actually had the complete opposite thought. In my opinion, whatever Charles makes is inconsequential, it is simply his renewed interest in art that sends the message. He has been able to embrace his past and return to doing what he loved, pre-plasmids.
