«Hollywood und die Physik» is Werner Gruber's popular science essay, published by facultas.wuv Universitäts in paperback (77 pages, in German).
The book explains how cinema impresses and deceives with special effects: dinosaurs, laser sabers, superhuman forces or inexplicable phenomena. It analyzes common tricks —floating in space or making objects explode— to show the natural laws behind them and how film technique tries to overcome them. A small compendium of cinematic illusions.
The subtitle is «Was wir im Kino wirklich sehen» and the work was published in 2007.
For film enthusiasts and science-curious readers who want to discover what lies behind special effects.
