A Chave do Futuro

From New World Pictures, this is a great fun, Sci-Fi, half Japanese animated (Pokeman' style) & half live action film... I was the Sound Designer/Sound Supervisor/Editor on this film and it SOUNDS GREAT (for a first timer)!!!! It was my first film and started my career. The sound was so good that Don Bassman, the lead mixer and Director of the Sound Department at Twentieth Century Fox, asked me to move my company onto the studio lot. I did, from 1988 to 1992,... he gave me the key to building 26!!!!

I watched this film firstly when I was 4 or 5 years old. I didn't really know what I was watching in the early 90s. I just remember that half was animated and half was a horrible barren wasteland with not many people and a man playing piano wearing a gas mask. The song played by the man wearing a gas mask whilst the woman watches is called Veni Gabriel by Horacio Moscovici who was by chance in Buenos Aires, whilst playing at a bar, approached by the director who happened to be there. He was asked to write the score to the movie. This was in 1986 or so. Since google existing, I looked up this movie and watched again and how it bares a resemblance to what happens to day. I just got off the phone to Horacio Moscovici now where he is in Argentina. I have been playing piano for 25 years or slightly more now.

It is strange how a movie can be made but as time passes have a little more meaning than it did before. Sometimes humanity isnt ready for movies made yet. Sure the movie is low budget but then again so are a lot of the best theatre performances. Sometimes you have to put aside the fact that there isnt complicated CGI sequences like Lord of the Rings or the pyrotechnics of Saving Private Ryan and see a movie for what it is.

Look up Del Nido al Vuelo - Horacio Moscovi - the whole album is brilliant stuff and piano that is not your usual Bach or Beethoven.

As films go this is was just tolerable, I didn't feel like i had wasted time that i'd never get back, however If your expecting to see great acting and expensive sets you'll be disappointed,this is a low budget film, good idea but a poor execution due to budget constraints.the only outstanding part of the film is a piece of music in it called carnavalito tango, the day after it was on TV i met some friends for a drink, some of them are real knuckle dragging neanderthals, the first topic of conversation was about the film and that piece of music which i have been searching for for quite some time, my only reason for wanting to see the film again would be just to record that track

Most who're interested in this film have interest because it contains images from Oshii's surreal masterpiece "Tenshi no Tamago." With Tenshi no Tamago lacking a proper release abroad, one may feel tempted to pick up a copy of "In the Aftermath" just to view the plundered footage. Do not do it! The acting is awful, the direction is pointless and cheesy, and the special effects could have been better done with equipment found lying about the house. It's a third-rate film with a fourth-rate production. The usage of the footage from Tenshi no Tamago, a true art film, is shameful and unacceptable. Fans of campy science fiction would do better to pick up an arm-full of TROMA flicks from the video store.

The first time that I saw this film, I believe in I-SAT channel already 15 years ago, I was surprised by the excellent music that plays the protagonist in the scene of the piano. Watching the credits at the end, and hearing that song again, I could find the answer to my surprise when I saw the name of the song: "carnavallito tango", neither but nor less than a mixture of two typical musical varieties of Argentina. Spent several years from the release of the film, I could discover, thanks to internet, that the author is Horacio Moskovici, an Argentinian pianist. I would like much to contact him and to congratulate by the masterpiece that has composed and that has pleased, according to the commentaries, people of diverse countries. 10 points, excellent.
