How cheesy and un-realistic (This is for you, flightless bird girl) can you get?
So I’m watching Bravo Two Zero, in between sips of coffee and cleaning my house. This is my weekend, until the end of the month. Also, dipping in and out of Fluther. @janbb is bored and wants some questions. My thought when I saw that was; “But I can’t think of any!”
Then I went back to my Sean Bean, ... I mean movie. Just in time to see him point his rifle at two men running across a bridge. He shoots, he SCORES! and then there’s a long shot of them pitching side by side off the bridge… “Ahhhhhhh!”
Really? ‘Cause they were both running side by side just a second ago. One can’t tell his perspective of them from the movie, but it seems to be ahead and to the left. For them to be falling off the bridge like that they would have had to have been hit from behind and had an enormous wind sweep the one on the right around the front of the other one, then another wind toss them (headfirst, mind you) over the bridge, side by side.
This is a relatively recent movie. I can understand in the 50’s, audiences were more easily bamboozled. (I love that word) But really? Today?
I’m sure there are lots more continuity mistakes out there. Or just plain celluloid silliness. (Say celluloid silliness three times in your best Sid the Sloth lisp)
