I have started watching THE NET with the director’s and producer’s commentry. The movie is now so dated. The movie was shot in 1993\/4 so things are so different. There are so many strange things in the movie, like sending a Floppy Disk by Fedex with a program on it. These days people would usually just email something like that, or download it. <\/p>\n
And certainly they would not normally use a floppy disk. A memory stick or a CD would be more common. I have a floppy drive for my laptop but I rarely use it. It is external, and I do not even normally have it plugged in. In the movie she also had a computer screen to act as a ‘log fire’, but the graphics were done by an artist. These days it would have been at least photo-realistic, if not actual video. All in all it is funny to look back at what was cutting edge technology at the time, which is certainly not so cutting edge now. <\/p>\n
I have looked at a few minutes of ‘The Mission’ and I am really impressed by the cinematography. It is really impressive, and I can only imagine how dangerous some of the initial scenes were for the actors involved. I hope that stuntmen were used, because it certainly looked like Jeremy Irons was scaling a water soaked cliff without any protection. <\/p>\n
Yesterday was an anniversary for two events. Firstly it was 12 months since my mother finished Chemotherapy for Lymphoma in her bone, for which she is in remission having made a great recovery. Secondly it was 12 months since her mother died, following being in hospital with a broken hip. At that time Mum was not well enough to go to the funeral which was hard for her. The nursing home where she died has a memorial service for those who died coming up, so mum will be going to that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
