I learned this from Gallipoli (1981 Peter Weir movie about WW1). In the movie they get totally screwed by this trick when it turns out it’s overcast.
Tangent, that movie is great, the synthesizer music is odd but to me it works and the whole movie is beautiful.
- riversflow 4y agoMy parents showed me that movie when I was maybe 9 or 10 and getting that boyish fascination with war (amongst a few other war movies like Das Boot). I didn’t understand the colonial subtext of the movie, which made it that much more impactful. It has absolutely stuck with me, both in terms of the absolute insanity of warfare, but also just how life in general can be a complete tragedy.
