It is one of the movies I decided to add to my "course pack" which is a small pack of movies I give to my friends. Movies they "need" to see to have a basis to discuss things on my late night whatsapp chats.

It has been fun as most of my friends are horror, sci fi buffs and they enjoy my "course pack"

So I give it here to you all. You might like it or not, but its one of those movies that give you new ideas to explore :D

Well, its mostly a sci fi movie about a well known psychological issue in regards to long term memory explained with a nice twist and going beyond ... but sure man. :D

[Vormotus]

A man loses his daughter and his life gets wrecked. Then he begins to realize reality is not ... exactly how it seems.

Its pretty sci-fiesque and a good movie to pass the time IF you like the genre. :cool:

but thanks for adding to the thread haha /hug

How does it compare to Sonic 2 (the most recent movie I watched).

Are there plenty of Sanic and Ugandan Knuckles references? Do they spoof death and drowning sprites?

[starkind]

Nothing compares to sonic 2 jimjam :(

Saw Top Gun yesterday, first movie in a long time. Was ok, it was over-hyped by my family IMO

I thought it was pretty formulaic. I was predicting everything ahead of time and was right about all of it. Plot was pretty basic. The last action parts were pretty seat gripping intense and well-done. I’ve heard the navy actually donates their planes and carriers to use for those movies because they cause a spree of young people joining the navy, so they are almost like recruitment promotional movies for them. I was joking with the girl I was with that it’s kind of a weird message to send to possible recruits though: “Join the Navy, your admiral is going to be a dickhead, so just disobey their orders and do what you think is right”. That is definitely NOT how the military wants their soldiers to operate

In regards to not sidelining this topic, I do like sci-fo so I may try to check out this Mandela movie, but I don’t know how to see it. I used to pirate stream them with putlocker but those sites have been shut down pretty well. I have Amazon prime and Netflix so if it’s on either of those I could catch it that way

Top gun is sci fi if you think about it as propaganda they wanted to hold off on releasing until the war started in real life.

[starkind]

Old Top gun was great.

If new top gun has cool new well done footage of cool real planes in it. It did it's job. It's not supposed to be cerebral.

You’re right and it does. The air dog-fight scenes are absolutely top-notch and intense

It’s basically them trying to fight in old planes against 5th generation hi-tech planes and being completely out-geared by enemy tech (which is a bit unbelievable for the USA but like you said it isn’t a cerebral movie). Also having to do what almost seems like a suicide mission considering the amount of anti-aircraft missiles the enemy has

They were doing that all the way back in the 40's and 50's. It was more common back then than it is now because hollywood movies tended to be more pro-military back then. For what should be obvious reasons the U.S. military generally won't support films it sees as anti-military.

If the admiral is a jerk and the pilots get treated like dirt it's basically accurate to life. Pilots are expensive to train and always limited in number but for some reason the armed forces continue treating them like they're disposable. It fuels their exodus to civilian jobs which generally already pay better for less injury risk. The Navy may have known this is an issue and wants to get it some publicity in a deniable manner (ie, nobody wants to put his own job on the line). The original "Top Gun" film was used in part to try to raise public awareness (and hence, get people yelling at Congress) of the faults with the F-14. The scene where the RIO dies is basically true-to-life; the plane suffers a compressor stall and engine flame-out, the pilot instinctively but incorrectly tries to fight it with the stick instead of with opposite pedal, the plane rapidly enters an unrecoverable flat spin and they're left with no option but punch out. A number of real F-14 crews were injured or killed in similar fashion, and for a number of years Congress didn't want to fund any remedies like engine replacement.

There are also a couple of brief but very neat shots of a rolling scissors towards the end of the first film. As with the above, it is not directly explained for people who don't know what they're seeing. If the new film has similar tidbits, it might be worth a watch.

Oh interesting

The admiral is going over the mission objectives with Maverick (Tom Cruise) and finishes and Maverick adds “and get out alive, right?” Because the admiral didn’t include that

He just kind of sits back and says “the pilots know the risks”. It felt like a bit of a callous exaggeration still

Spoiler me the enemy with better tech please.

[Danth]

(which is a bit unbelievable for the USA but like you said it isn’t a cerebral movie).

It isn't as unbelievable as you might assume. The F-22 is pushing near to thirty year old tech at this point, the F-18E family was never intended to be especially forward-looking*, and the F-35 isn't really a fighter in any conventional sense of the word, it's more akin to a modern version of the 60's era F-105. There is in fact a real threat of some other air forces matching or surpassing the U.S. in some areas in coming years.

*The F-18E originated as something of an emergency stopgap because during the 90's several different families of Navy aircraft were fast approaching the end of their fatigue lifespans with no replacement funded or planned. Hence the Navy needed planes, it needed them fast and cheap-ish, and it needed them to be able to do several jobs tolerably well. The F-18E exceeded all expectations and proved a rousing success, but it was still really meant as a gap-filler, not the next word in technological development.

They do a great job of never saying. Pilots are all wearing full high tech helmets, no language is spoken, no ethnicity shown. Target is enriching uranium somewhere cold so maybe they want you to assume Russia but they never put any other country on blast…unless they did and I missed it

[MrSparkle001]

it might explain why Joke Biden cant go a sentence without rewriting history or spouting some other innane bit of nonsense. which brings us to the important question, were his voters from another reality too? mystery solved?

He only won because of Trump.

Just like Trump only won because of Hillary.

Elections now are about who you DON'T want to win. We have no real control over who gets the nomination though, and there's the problem.

Only an inflamed asshole could turn a movie thread into a Tucker Carlson segment.

Mandela Effect is probably the best evidence of simulation theory

[Jibartik]

Mandala effect that bothers me is when you say this to your friend:

"Haha I know, like the way you like ______."

And they go, "I dont like _______."

And you go, "yes you do, you specifically said 'I like ________." like 6 months ago.

And they go, "I have never said that, I dont agree with that at all."

No they are not idiot friends gaslighting me, this is the mandala effect!

Yeah they constantly change things in The Matrix, do you really think Donald Trump was president?

Good Lord that would be hilarious
