of visual interest

[eliyes]

I always find it interesting to see the difference in how different cultures view or treat the same thing. The difference between the French and English trailers for a particular movie, for example. (The German ad spot for The Sentinel was radically different from the American ads I've seen, as another example.)

Anyway: the film RENAISSANCE is an interesting little thing. It's set in Paris 2054, which immediately gets my attention. It appears to be a mystery, where a detective is tracking down an abducted woman in a surreal, animated BLACK AND WHITE city. We are not talking grayscale.

Check out the original French trailer, and/or the dubbed English trailer.

Other visually interesting things:

Auroras in Nebraska.

A really pretty storm.

*watches french* "Hey, look. An action movie...maybe like a cheaper Sin City"

*watches english* "Hey, look. The Matrix."

The animated black and white film intrigues me. It looks really amazing.

I'm so jealous of that aurora, lol. I've never seen a strong aurora here. My grandma once told me when I was young that many years ago there was an aurora that turned the entire sky blood red, and her friend panicked and came over to grandma's because she thought it was the end of the world.

That storm scares me. o.o
