I think the difference is, is that footage of war in a movie about the war makes sense. But they're taking rememberable footage that was all over the news and putting it in a movie that doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. I can understand why it gives off an uncomfortable vibe.

@@fortyozsteak You see, movies make dramatic reenactments of tragic events. They don't take the real footage of people dying and losing everything and put that into their movie. At the end of the day, the actors in the movies get to go home. (Ideally) In this, they're showing an event where people are literally dying in the footage. There's a massive difference there.

I'm sorry but you can't say it was never meant to be in the trailer. Clearly a calculated decision was made to release it. Things like this don't happen by accident, film creators are very picky about trailers and make no mistake this excuse is pure bullshit. Either they left it in the trailer because it was a cheap and fast way to make an explosive shock wave or they did it to create media and public attention as a cheap way to spread the word about their film. Don't be fooled, this is exploitation of death, pure and simple.

The Beirut scene reminds me that they used actual news footage of the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing at the beginning of the first X-Files movie. Like not even overlaying a cg building. They had an office building blow up and collapse and the footage after the collapse is the actual footage of the federal building. I remember my parents getting upset that they did that.

@El_Rey_247 10 ай бұрын

It's the kind of thing that I have to imagine will age "well" in the sense that people will forget about the source over time and distance, and will therefore not be taken out of the movie when it happens. Personally, I'm more bothered with how bad the rest of the explosions in that trailer were, not even remotely trying to match the reality of Beirut. It's doubly insulting, at least.

@SnifferSock 10 ай бұрын

The weird thing is IF you're going to commit to using real footage, why put in the trailer?! Much smaller odds it's noticed in theater and by that point, you've already made your money off ticket sales. Using it as inspiration (for lack of a better word) I don't have a problem with, but CGI on the real footage... yikes. Only exception would be if you somehow got the people who lived there to vote on it and they could benefit from it, but that's pretty much impossible.

This ain't no Schindler's List, bud. The footage wasn't used in order to respect or talk about the explosion, or the context or politics, it's a Disney fictional production. For the record, "escape from reality" doesn't have to be happy or cartoonish. Watching a story unfold is escape, whether it's a tragedy or a comedy.

There's nothing conceptually wrong with using the Beirut explosion as B-Roll in a movie. I say that because we've been doing it with atomic/nuclear bombs since their inception. Oppenheimer made headlines because it was the first movie in a long long time to attempt a practical explosion without the use of CGI OR Archival footage. So in other words, it's completely normal, and we've been doing this for 70 years or so. Oh and btw, Nagasaki is among the most popularly used. I will concede that while it's normal, it isn't necessarily right. You still have to be tasteful about it, and The Creator rides the line between with and without taste.

@justicefool3942 5 ай бұрын

There are differences though. Usually, at least with anything around nuclear explosions in general, besides Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there is no great tragedy behind it. It's just weapons testing. Then any scene with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, from what I have seen, so might not be all encompassing, those exist specifically to underscore the horror of those specific attacks. The scenes from those cities aren't being used as B roll for some action movie the way the Beirut Explosion is being used.

Their building had a direct view of the port. Using footage like that and just adding VFX on top is as you say, not ok on a moral level. They could have modelled an explosion or completely changed the city, but just putting a "coat of paint" on top, that seems cheap and disrespectful. Keep up the good work guys

Imagine sitting through Speed 2 in the theater, and waiting for the big boat crash scene promised in the trailers (and basically what the whole film is building towards). And the exact moment the boat starts to hit the dock, the sound for the film cuts out and you are left watching the sequence in silence, with only an audience member improvising a dog's barks. And the sound doesn't kick back in until after the whole crash sequence finishes. Because, yeah, that happened to me. They gave us free passes, so at least I didn't end up paying for a bad movie. Or at least, that's what I thought at the time, as I ended up using the passes for Batman & Robin. Doh! So, I guess two bad movies for the price of one is a win? :)
