    Just after Apollo 13 came out, I saw an interview with a NASA engineer who had worked on the launch pad for the real Apollo 13. He said that some of the scenes depicting the launch sequence were so well done that the only way he could tell they weren't real was because he knew there hadn't been a camera in that position.

    Absolutely astonished that there is no mention of Mary Poppins on here. The research that went into identifying British garden birds and Cockney accents was so spot on, you'd hardly know it was an American production.

    As a ex-combat engineer in the army in the movie Nobody when he's in the club with the claymore I told my kids that he couldn't set it off because the red det cord wasn't on it or connected but then at the end when actually used it the red det cord was in its proper place whoever was in charge of that deserve a raise a very good raise lol

    Inside Out is worth watching just for the post credits scene with the minds of the cat and the pre-teen boy. The whole movie does a brilliant job of setting up the context to enjoy those 🤣

    As a friend of mine said, when the trailer for Michael Bay's Pearl Harbour aired, 'that will be a movie about how America *won* the battle of Pearl Harbour. Against the British!'

    I wont even start on "The Lion King" being accurate but the Martian has the BIG flaw that the Storm at the start would have felt like a breeze because of the low atmosphere...

      Yes. But they do acknowledge it's inaccuracy in the video, too.

      @@stevenstump246 it doesnt, the video states that "storms that deadly are unlikely" while the movie says the storm is 200m/h or something and that isnt much energy in mars lower atmosphere...

    The Lion King still blows my mind even after 30 years. The animation, the music, the performances, it still holds up as perhaps the best ink-and-cell animated movie, and they didn't shy away from the understanding that a true hero requires true tragedy.
    Also: United! United! United!
    I'm a fan of Man U, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Chicago Cubs. If the Cubs can take the pennant, United can find their stride.

    A Night to Remember was wrong in its portrayal of the Titanic sinking. The White Star Line denied eyewitness accounts of the ship splitting in two and the movie accepted their claim. Only when they found the ship did they realize the accounts were true.

    • @The_Dudester
      @The_Dudester Před 28 dny +4

      The thing about eyewitness testimony is that it isn't always reliable. I have degrees in Constitutional Law. Even in the late 1980's, when I went to college, profs warned us that eyewitness testimony should be taken with a grain of salt. One example is an event that played out when I was a cop. One day I was looking for a man with a gun. I was told his shirt could be white, or half black/half white, green or even green and red. It turned out to be a polo shirt that was white with a black collar.
      Considering that Titanic survivors had been double traumatized (the event + the weather), until the wreck was found, no one could be absolutely sure. Even today, there is is a dispute about the rivets popping, or did Titanic run up on an ice shelf protruding from the iceberg?
      I could bring up other examples, but what's the point?

    The Martian was a book first. I'm pretty sure that the movie makers did not have to do that much research.

    • @Ceares
      @Ceares Před 24 dny

      He specifically said they didn't just rely on the book but did their own research to make sure everything was the way it was supposed to be. More impressive because they could have just cribbed off the book

    Titanic did a better job handling the actual destruction of the ship, as it was found to have broken in half like in the movie.

    Totally disagree with Downfall being accurate. There's NO WAY Hitler had an opinion about Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMAs.
    On the other hand, have you seen the movie Private Parts? The guy who plays Howard Stern totally nailed it, spot on.

    Thanks for citing Tora! Tora! Tora! (“Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!”), the codephrase to signify a successful strike on Pearl Harbor) over the 2001 ‘update’. It was the superior version, same with the 1976 film version of Midway over the recent remake.

    Unfortunately most people learn their history from Hollywood which surely is the greatest propaganda mill in world history. All of these movies depict some realism but they are still far from a documentary. For instance, Apollo 13 astronauts said there was no dramatic dialogue in the capsule, astronauts being so stoic and matter a fact. However, director Ron Howard wanted to spice it up with some drama so he made it up.

    Thank god the narrator has toned down his delivery
    The -“ah” is awful
    Such delivery only works with sadly deceased aforementioned titular singer of The Fall
    Much more clearer and understandable
