Fucked up movies forever and ever.
Looks like a great indie film…can’t wait to see it myself.
“The China Syndrome”
The movie was released on March 16, 1979. By a bizarre irony, the disaster at the nuclear power plant at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island happened just 13 days later on March 28th.
____________________
My father-in-law brought this to my attention today. He earned a degree in geology and was happily toiling away at a company that mined uranium when this near-disaster happened.
Apparently, the film, as mentioned, was released nearly 2 weeks before the 3-Mile Island incident, but also highlighted the scenarios and human factor errors that coincidentally really happened.
The ensuing panic put a halt on the demand for uranium and led to widespread layoffs at his company and was eventually shutdown.
I’m certain, to this day, that even after 3 Mile Island (34 years ago) and Fukushima (2 years ago), we still lack the necessary tools and resources to properly clean-up after a nuclear accident.
That’s the real tragedy.

Did you know? The entire hallway scene in Inception was unscripted. The hallway randomly began spinning around and the actors just went with it.
THAT is one of the many reasons it’s a masterpiece.
Did you know that the actors didn’t even realise they were on set? They thought they were just checking into a hotel and then shit started spinning all over the place. Crazy stuff. THAT is another reason why Inception is a masterpiece and Christopehr Noalan is the greatest directer of all time
Did you know? None of the actors even knew they were being filmed. The entire movie was unscripted, and the stagehands kept drugging the actors and moving them from set to set, trapping them inside and filming their reactions. Crazy stuff.
Did you know you never even saw Inception? They never even made the movie. They just randomly started posting screencaps of it on the internet and you just went with it.
BOOM.
YOU JUST GOT INCEPTED.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMM.
After waking from this dream, you realize you’re actually in the Matrix.

Sutton puts the camera on the pulse of a feeling, creating something hypnotic, exposing the mystical in the mundane aspects of teenage life. There’s a gentle grace that pervades the film, juxtaposed by the raw and natural performances of its central characters. You allow the film to wash over you like a hazy dream that’s so subtle you might not even be cognizant to its effect until the credits roll and you’re jolted back to reality.

“When I wrote the script, I wept on a daily basis—a lot. It’s so awful what happens to him,” she says. “And that was a real feeling, coming from a real place.”
