A Life Less Ordinary SPX Rib Bones
Truly one of the most unusual special effects items ever offered! From Danny Boyle's fanciful "A Life Less Ordinary" (1997), these are two extra large rib bones representing Ewan McGregor's ribs for the key scene in the movie. Throughout the film, Robert (Ewan MacGregor) has had recurring dreams of having his life saved by being shot through the heart by an "arrow of love." Taking a leap of faith, Celine (Cameron Diaz) shoots Robert through the heart. These bones were created to be used so that a special camera representing a bullet could actually pass through them. Of course this effect could have been created utilizing CGI computer generated effects, but Boyle wanted to go all the way back to the original three-dimensional effect techniques first pioneered by Georges Méliès over a 100 years ago. This gave the film and the effect a homemade feel, to go with the fantasy of the story. Great for wall display! (approx. 36" long each). Oversized item. Additional postage required.
