Wiken kemaren jeng Vira berkunjung ke Bandung, dan hari minggunya kita jalan-jalan sama jeng Tanti, dan menonton film “Wanted” ini. Kata beberapa orang sih keren, apalagi yang main Angelina Jolie sama Morgan Freeman. Tapi ngga akan tau bagus atau ngganya kalo ngga nonton sendiri kan?

Film “Wanted” ini disutradarai Timur Bekmambetov (hmmm, orang manakah ini? Kok pake nama Timur ya? Oo…ternyata orang Rusia!!) dan ternyata adaptasi dari buku komik garapan Mark Millar dan J.G. Jones. Ceritanya tentang perkumpulan Fraternity, perkumpulan berumur seribu tahun yang mempunyai misi membunuh orang-orang jahat yang mengganggu ‘keseimbangan’ dunia. Nama-nama target yang harus dibunuh tersebut keluar dari terjemahan pintalan kain. Jadi kalau kita lihat tenunan kain dengan kaca pembesar, ada serat-serat yang ‘tidak pada jalurnya’ merepresentasikan kode-kode biner dan bisa diterjemahkan ke huruf-huruf.

Di film ini diceritakan Wesley (James McAvoy), seorang pekerja yang mudah depresi, bertemu dengan salah seorang anggota Fraternity, Fox(Angelina Jolie. Daripada stres dengan pekerjaannya, akhirnya Wesley resign dari kantor untuk menjadi pembunuh Fraternity, setelah melalui serangkaian latihan yang menjadikannya pembunuh terampil. Pemimpin Fraternity, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), memberi tahu Wesley bahwa ayahnya (yang tidak dia kenal karena meninggalkan dia sejak umur 7 hari) dibunuh oleh Cross (Thomas Kretschmann), orang yang keluar dari perkumpulan Fraternity. Dan salah satu target yang harus dibunuh oleh Wesley adalah Cross tersebut.

Kalau menurut aku sih, film ini agak berlebihan, dengan banyak special effect, dan slow motion ala “Matrix”. Kadang-kadang, visualisasinya ngga masuk akal (ya iya lah, aslinya kan dari komik). Cuma, kalau “Matrix” ceritanya sangat fiksi, kalau yang ini terlihat ingin dibikin realistis dibumbui dengan hal-hal mustahil. Untuk adegan actionnya, yaaaa…boleh juga, tapi ati-ati buat yang ngga tahan adengan kekerasan, film ini memperlihatkan cukup banyak adegan berdarah-darah.

Satu hal yang mengejutkan aku, pas bioskopnya terang setelah film selesai, banyak anak kecil (yaa..umurannya baru masuk SD gitu lah kira-kira) yang nonton!!!! Ada apakah dengan otak orang tua-orang tua mereka?!?!?! Kenapa anak sekecil itu dibiarkan nonton film dewasa yang banyak adegan kekerasan dan adegan lagin yang sama sekali ngga layak buat ditonton anak-anak?!?!?!

 

Minggu kemaren udah mo tidur, udah males ngapa-ngapain diajak Tito, adik sepupuku, 'nonton yuk mbak...'. Dan beberapa menit kemudian aku udah PW di kamar Dodi, dengan "The Bucket List" di layar monitor. Hehehehe....

"The Bucket List" adalah sebuah film tentang dua orang tua, Edward (Jack Nicholson) dan Carter (Morgan Freeman). Edward, orang kaya berumur 70an yang punya sebuah rumah sakit, berbagi kamar di rumah sakit dengan Carter, orang seumuran juga yang sehari-hari kerja sebagai montir di bengkel. Mereka berdua didiagnosis penyakit yang sama, yaitu kanker. Sebagai orang kaya yang bisa punya rumah sakit, biasanya dirawat inap di ruang VIP, satu pasien satu kamar. Tapi berhubung berprinsip 'saya menjalani rumah sakit, bukan spa', Edward ga menyediakan ruang rawat inap privat seperti itu. Alhasil, sekamarlah dengan Carter. Seperti biasa juga, Nicholson berperan sebagai orang tua yang 'begajulan'. Suka hura-hura, ganti-ganti pasangan, dan 'kenakalan-kenakalan' lainnya. Beda dengan Carter, tipe family-man yang baik hati, ga pernah neko-neko. Bisa ditebaklah, akhirnya dua orang ini bersahabat.

Carter punya sederet keinginan yang dia pengen lakuin sebelum meninggal. Dan ditambah beberapa list dari Edward, dua orang penderita kanker yang secara fisik ga keliatan seperti orang kena kanker ini memenuhi satu persatu daftar itu. Mulai dari sky diving (wew....ini aku juga mau), jalan-jalan keliling dunia -beruntunglah si kaya Edward punya jet pribadi- ke Taj Mahal, Hongkong, Prancis, dan  ke Himalaya yang eksotis. Yeaah, siapa sih yang ga mau keliling dunia?!?!? Ini juga bakal jadi bucket list banyak orang, cuma ga janji ya perginya pake jet pribadi juga, hahahaha.... Yah, intinya menikmati hidup sebelum meninggal.

Selama perjalanan, Carter yang 'tampaknya' bisa lebih memaknai hidup berhasil untuk menyadarkan nilai-nilai hidup pada diri Edward, termasuk untuk menemukan anak perempuan Edward. Mereka bisa menjadi dua sahabat senasib sepenanggungan sependeritaan yang bisa saling mengisi. Menurutku, kalo film ini dimainkan bukan sama aktor watak sekaliber Freeman dan Nicholson, film ini bakal garing abis... Banyak dialog, tapi bukan dialog yang emosinya terlihat secara frontal. Dialog sehari-hari yang maknanya dalem banget. Film ini kayanya si berbiaya murah, kebanyakan settingnya di rumah sakit. Yah, kecuali beberapa bagian keliling dunia (yang beberapa pake digital imaging), dan sky diving. Tapi yang jelas ga terlalu heboh lah.... Asik buat ditonton santai. Cukup menghibur lahhhh....

sebuah film (atau 4 film pendek?) yang terangkai dengan cantik. diramu oleh 4 sutradara perempuan andal..

Salah satunya dampak dari menjamurnya video porno yang sangat mudah diakses melalui internet.

Seperti yang dialami Safina (Kirana Larasati) dan teman-temannya yang masih SMA di Yogyakarta (kota wisata yang juga dikenal sebagai kota pelajar). Akses 'tanpa batas' dari internet membuat anak-anak remaja ini untuk bereksperimen dengan seks. Fenomena inilah yang menjadi bahan liputan seorang jurnalis Jakarta, Jay Anwar (Fauzi Baadila). Jay dan Safina ini saling memanfaatkan untuk kepentingan masing-masing. Safina ini pun jatuh cinta dan mempertaruhkan masa depannya pada Jay, dan Jay mengorek banyak hal untuk bahan tulisannya.

trivia  for sound of music

  *  Originally to be directed by William Wyler, who actually scouted locations and toyed with the script. He had a different film in mind; tanks crashing through walls, etc.
    * Director Robert Wise considered Yul Brynner for the role of Captain Von Trapp.
    * The first musical number in the film, "The Sound of Music", was the final sequence shot in Europe before the cast and crew returned to Los Angeles. It was filmed in late June and early July of 1964. Despite the warm and sunny appearance, Julie Andrews notes that she was freezing running up that mountain over and over again. Director Robert Wise has said that he had to climb one of the trees nearby to be able to overview the helicopter shoot without getting in the picture.
    * Julie Andrews relates that although she tried digging in her heels and bracing herself, she was knocked off her feet every time by the helicopter downdraft in the opening shot. After more than a dozen takes, she attempted to hand-signal to Robert Wise to have the helicopter make a wider pass, but the response she got was a thumbs-up - he was finally satisfied with the shot.
    * "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" was shot in the gazebo, one of the last to be done. On the first take, Charmian Carr (Liesl) slipped while leaping across a bench, and fell through a pane of glass. Although she was not badly injured, her ankle was hurt and the scene was later shot with her leg wrapped and makeup covering the bandages.
    * Cameo: [Maria von Trapp] The elder of the two women in Austrian peasant garb who are in the background as Maria walks through a brick archway during "I Have Confidence".
    * The front and back of the Von Trapp estate were filmed at 2 different locations in Salzburg, Austria.
    * The gazebo used for the "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" and "Something Good" scenes can still be visited in the Salzburg area, on "Sound of Music" tours. However, the public had to be excluded from the interior because film fans who were considerably older than "sixteen going on seventeen" were injuring themselves while trying to dance along the seats.
    * In the end when the family is climbing over the hills to safety, it is not really Gretl on the shoulders of Captain von Trapp. In the DVD version, it is revealed that while in Austria, Kym Karath gained a lot of weight. This was one of the last shots filmed and so she was evidently a bit too heavy to be carried on Christopher Plummer's back. He requested a stunt double and that is who's seen being carried on his back.
    * Debbie Turner had many loose teeth during filming. When they fell out, they were replaced with false teeth.
    * Mary Martin, who originated the role of Maria on Broadway and co-produced the film, would eventually see nearly $8,000,000 from the film. In contrast, Julie Andrews earned just $225,000 for her performance.
    * Two years before the musical made its Broadway debut, Paramount bought the rights to the Von Trapp Singers story, intending to cast Audrey Hepburn as Maria. When Hepburn declined, Paramount dropped plans for a film.
    * The librettists, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, originally intended to use songs that the real von Trapp family had sung. However, Mary Martin, who was to be in the play, asked Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to write a song for her character. Due to concerns that their original song would not mix well with the folk music, Rodgers and Hammerstein suggested writing a whole new score, the music we know today.
    * During the scene with Maria and the Captain at the gazebo, Julie Andrews couldn't stop laughing due to a lighting device that was making, in her words, a "raspberry" every time she leaned in to kiss Plummer. After more than 20 takes, the scene was altered to silhouette the two and to hide Andrews' giggles.
    * Six burly Austrians were hired to pull the heavy car by two ropes while the actors push from behind when the von Trapps are escaping their home in Salzburg.
    * Sean Connery and Richard Burton were considered for the part of Captain von Trapp.
    * Kim Darby was tested for the part of the eldest von Trapp daughter.
    * Among kids who auditioned to play one of the Von Trapp children were Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Veronica Cartwright, Patty Duke and the four eldest Osmond Brothers (Alan Osmond, Jay Osmond, Merrill Osmond and Wayne Osmond). Dreyfuss couldn't dance.
    * Nicholas Hammond has brown hair, and had to undergo several painful hair bleaching treatments before and during filming to make his hair blond.
    * Right after her talk with Maria, the Baroness is at the party talking to Max. The song the orchestra is playing is a song from the play version that was not used in the movie called "How Can Love Survive". This song was sung by the Baroness and Max.
    * Kym Karath (Gretl) couldn't swim, so the original idea was to get Julie Andrews to catch her when the boat tips up and they all fall in the water. However, during the second take the boat toppled over so that Andrews fell to one side and Karath fell to the other. Heather Menzies had to save her instead. Andrews stated later she felt guilty about this for years.
    * Kym Karath swallowed too much water upon falling out of the rowboat, and threw up on Heather Menzies.
    * Twentieth Century-Fox bought the film rights to the musical in 1960, along with the rights to two German films about the family. The project was jeopardized by the poor box-office showing of a compilation of the German films, as well as Fox's financial difficulties resulting from Cleopatra (1963).
    * The von Trapp street address is '53'. When Maria first comes to the villa and is looking through the gate, the address sign is on the stone pillar to the left.
    * Maria never uses the Captain's first name, "Georg", in the film. Instead, she calls him Captain, Sir and Darling.
    * One of the actresses who tried out for the role of Liesl was Mia Farrow.
    * Along with The Bible: In the Beginning... (1966), this is one of the few Twentieth Century-Fox films in which no music at all is heard when the Twentieth Century-Fox logo appears on screen.
    * According to director Robert Wise the grass on the hill of the opening song was supposed to be much longer than it was. The filmmakers had made an arrangement with the farmer who owned the land to leave the grass long, but when they arrived for filming it had been cut. Wise commented that the scene turned out very well after all.
    * Doris Day was apparently offered the role of Maria von Trapp, but turned it down.
    * Julie Andrews nearly turned down the role of Maria Von Trapp, fearing the character was too similar to her role in Mary Poppins (1964).
    * William Wyler wanted Audrey Hepburn to play Maria von Trapp.
    * Voted number 18 in channel 4's (UK) "Greatest Family Films"
    * When Maria is running through the courtyard to the Von Trapp house in "I Have Confidence", she trips. This was an accident; however, director Robert Wise liked this so much that he kept it in the movie. He felt it added to the nervousness of the song and of the character.
    * The actors had to be continually hosed down while filming the scene after they had fallen out of the boat, in order to remain dripping wet.
    * When the film was released in South Korea, it did so much business that some theaters were showing it four and five times a day. One theater owner in Seoul tried to figure out a way to be able to show it even more often, in order to bring in more customers. So he cut out all the musical numbers.
    * The film sets its story "in the last golden days of the thirties", when in actual fact Maria became governess to the Von Trapp family in 1927 and married the Captain in November of that year
    * The songs "I Have Confidence" and "Something Good" were written specially for the film, by Richard Rodgers, the latter song replacing "An Ordinary Couple" from the stage version. The two numbers became so popular and so integrated into the musical, that most subsequent stage productions, including the 1998 Broadway Revival, have felt the need to add them on (and delete "An Ordinary Couple" in the process).
    * Danny Lockin tested for the role of Rolfe.
    * Peggy Wood's singing was dubbed, as she herself declared that she was too old to handle the vocals.
    * Four other children were brought in to augment the singing of the seven von Trapp children - to produce a better, fuller, more polished sound. Among the four "extra singers" was Charmian Carr's younger sister, Darleen Carr.
    * Duane Chase's (Kurt) high note in the "So Long, Farewell" number was actually sung by Darleen Carr (younger sister of Charmian Carr), as that note was beyond Chase's range.
    * Although Christopher Plummer's own vocals were in fact recorded, it was subsequently decided that he should be dubbed.
    * Charmian Carr sings "Sixteen Going On Seventeen". In reality she was nearly 22 at the time.
    * In Spain the film is known as "Smiles and Tears". In France it is known as "The Melody of Happiness".
    * The first time they filmed the wedding scene between the Captain and Maria, there was nobody at the altar to wed them when they reached the top of the stairs - someone had forgotten to summon the actor playing the bishop. According to Julie Andrews, the real bishop of Salzburg is seen in the movie.
    * The gazebo changes size (becomes larger) when we go inside it. This is intentional. There was a real gazebo on the property where they filmed the scenes at the back of the house, but it was too small for the dance numbers, so they built an interior for the gazebo in Hollywood that was significantly larger.
    * Came second in the UK's Ultimate Film, in which films were placed in order of how many seats they sold at cinemas
    * Christopher Plummer intensely disliked working on the film. He's been known to refer to it as "The Sound of Mucus" and likened working with Julie Andrews to "being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card, every day." Nontheless, he and Andrews have remained close friends ever since.
    * The outfit that Kurt wears at the party is called a Tracht, an authentic Austrian costume. The jacket he wears is called a Loden.
    * "Edelweiss" was written for the musical and is little known in Austria. The song was the last that Oscar Hammerstein II wrote.
    * The Ländler dance that Maria and the Captain shared was not performed the traditional way it is done in Austria.
    * The movie featured a rare onscreen performance by Marni Nixon, who plays Sister Sophia. The producers weren't sure how Julie Andrews would react to her after Nixon dubbed Audrey Hepburn in a role made famous by Andrews, but when Andrews first met Nixon, she exclaimed, "Marni, I'm a fan of you!" and the producers were relieved.
    * According to the British tabloid The Sun, the movie was selected by BBC executives as one to be broadcast after a nuclear strike, to improve the morale of survivors. The BBC did not confirm or deny the story, saying, "This is a security issue so we cannot comment".
    * While the von Trapp family hiked over the Alps to Switzerland in the movie, in reality they walked to the local train station and boarded the next train to Italy. From Italy, they fled to London and ultimately the USA. Salzburg is in fact only a few miles away from the Austrian-German border, and is much too far from either the Swiss or Italian borders for a family to escape by walking. Had the von Trapps hiked over the mountains, they would have ended up in Germany, near Hitler's mountain retreat.
    * The Reverend Mother's line, "I will lift mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help!" is the first line of the Psalm 121. However, she uses the King James version of the Psalm, unheard of in Austria, and also uses this normally celebratory Psalm out of context, using it instead as a prayer to get to hills.
    * The movie drops three songs from the original show: "How Can Love Survive?" and "No Way to Stop It", which screenwriter Ernest Lehman felt were unnecessary, and "An Ordinary Couple," which was replaced by "Something Good".
    * At the Musical competition at the end of the movie, Fraulein Schweiger, the third place winner, bows 16 times.
    * Lesley Ann Warren auditioned for the role of Liesl.
    * The house that was used as the Von Trapp home was actually owned by actress Hedy Lamarr.
    * In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #40 Greatest Movie of All Time.
    * Christopher Plummer learned to play the guitar for his part, but the guitar (like his vocals) were re-dubbed.
    * In Argentina, the film is known as "The Rebellious Novice".
    * In Austria the film is know as “Meine Lieder - meine Träume” (“My Songs - my dreams”). It's not very well known there though, and the ending of the film was cut when it hit Austrian cinemas in the 60s.
    * Patty Duke, Mia Farrow and Sharon Tate all auditioned for the role of Liesl.
    * Charmian Carr slipped and injured her ankle while filming "Sixteen Going On Seventeen." In early editions of the film, the bandage covering that ankle is visible. When the movie was produced on DVD, the bandage was taken out digitally. On the movie commentary of the 40th Anniversary edition, Charmian said that because of this, some people do not believe her when she says she danced on an injured ankle.
    * At the beginning of filming, Heather Menzies (Louisa) was about three inches taller than Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich). He had to wear heel lifts to make him look taller. By the end of the shoot, Nicolas Hammond had grown six inches (5'3" to 5'9"). He often filmed in no shoes and Charmian Carr had to stand on a box to make her taller. All of the Von Trapp children grew a lot during filming, so heel lifts and various camera tricks were used to keep their heights steady.
    * The first scene filmed was the scene in Maria's bedroom where Frau Schmidt brings the dress material, and later Liesl sneaks in through the window. One of the last scenes filmed was the "You are Sixteen" number, which appears in the film right before the scene in Maria's room. The two scenes were shot about 4 months apart.

goofs for the sound of music

    * Errors in geography: Salzburg is on Austria's German (not Swiss) border. (In real life the von Trapps simply traveled 100 km to the Italian border for a supposed mountain-climbing vacation, crossed openly, and did not return. The border closed the very next day.)
    * Continuity: The first time Maria goes to see the Reverend Mother, Sister Margaretha tells her she can go in and puts a hand on her arm. She takes her hand away and walks out the door. In the next shot, from inside the Reverend Mother's office, she still has her hand on Maria's arm and then walks away again.
    * Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Maria sings "My Favorite Things" to the children during the thunderstorm, the Captain comes in and stops the fun. As she watches the children running into line, she says something like "Wha-" after finishing the song, but her mouth doesn't move.
    * Continuity: In the opening scene, when the helicopter camera zooms in on Maria, it's bright and sunny, but when it switches to a regular camera, the sky is suddenly cloudy.
    * Factual errors: Numerous discrepancies of insignia on the German uniforms.
    * Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The claim that an orange crate says "Product of Israel" despite Israel not existing at the time the film is set is false. Though the crate and its label are clearly visible in a publicity still taken during the filming of that sequence, the crate is not visible in the completed film.
    * Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Papa von Trapp was an officer in the Austrian Navy. Yet how can this be? Austria is a landlocked country. But it wasn't, during World War I, when the old Austria-Hungarian empire, which included what became Yugoslavia, had ports on the Adriatic Sea and Papa Von Trapp served in its navy.
    * Continuity: Capt. von Trapp's hair When the children welcome Maria and the Captain home is a brownish color and in a different style from the rest of the film.
    * Continuity: Bandage (covered with makeup) visible on Liesl's ankle in "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" but not in the surrounding scenes (she sprained her ankle while rehearsing part of the sequence, after other parts had already been shot). The bandage has been erased from the scene for DVD.
    * Continuity: Prior to singing "Edelweiss" in the drawing room, when Maria first offers the Captain the guitar, he is holding a glass of port in his right hand, he begins to raise his left hand to gesture. The scene cuts to a wider shot and the glass is in his left hand as he raises his right to gesture.
    * Continuity: At the party, Herr Zeller meets Captain Von Trapp and the Baroness and then moves on his way. After him are a lady and gentleman who greet the hosts. However, as Herr Zeller is walking away we see the lady and gentleman greet them again over his shoulder.
    * Revealing mistakes: During the thunder storm, when Liesl supposedly climbs up to Maria's room, we see her outside, running over to the window. She then tells Maria she climbed up. She could have climbed up elsewhere and made her way along a ledge, but when we look outside there's no evidence of a ledge wide enough to facilitate her running.
    * Errors in geography: When Maria eats her first meal with the von Trapps, they all use their eating utensils the American way, i.e. with the fork in their right hand.
    * Revealing mistakes: When Maria arrives at the von Trapp house, she has two shadows at 90 degrees to each other. There should only be one shadow, as it is broad daylight.
    * Miscellaneous: When Maria is singing "My Favorite Things" to the children the first time, during the first verse and chorus, one of the girls, Marta, is seen miming the words to herself - especially the last line of the chorus, "... so bad!"
    * Continuity: When Maria goes to see the Mother Abbess (after "Maria") the chair is at the end of the desk as she enters the room. But when the Mother Abbess tells her to sit, it is in the middle.
    * Continuity: During "Do, Re, Mi", Maria's hair is blowing in the wind in the long shots but is perfectly combed in the close-ups.
    * Factual errors: The Captain and Maria return to Salzburg early from their honeymoon when they hear about the annexation of Austria to Germany. They pull up to their home, and the Captain quickly tears up a Nazi flag that has been displayed there. It is clearly warm and there are leaves on the trees - late spring or summer. The annexation of Austria took place on 13 March 1938, and it would therefore have been colder, grayer, and there would not have been any leaves on the trees.
    * Continuity: Just before the Captain first sings "Edleweiss", he reaches for a glass, but in the next shot there is a bottle in his hand.
    * Continuity: When the Nazi troops are marching through the town square, the building shadows change position in relationship to the horse and carriage.
    * Revealing mistakes: When Captain von Trapp and Maria come back from their honeymoon, he pulls a Nazi flag down from above his front door. As he does so, he is obviously searching for the correct place to tear the flag and eventually finds a slit which has been marked by the prop people. You can also see the slit going down into the flag.
    * Revealing mistakes: In the final scene of the film, the rippling of the grass shows that there is a helicopter hovering above.
    * Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Mother Abbess tells Maria that Captain von Trapp's wife died "several years ago". A distressing number of people have heard this as "seven years ago" and wonder how she can have given birth to the five-year-old Gretl.
    * Revealing mistakes: When Maria and the children come back from their day of play and are singing inside, they decide who is next to sing; Captain Von Trapp. When Maria hands the Captain her guitar, it has no strings on it. While he is playing and singing, the strings will appear then disappear.
    * Errors in geography: At the beginning of the film where Maria is dancing on the top of the mountain and she hears the bells of the convent ringing, firstly the mountain is so far away that there is no chance that she would hear it, even with bionic hearing. Secondly, she runs down the mountain to the cathedral in minutes when it's about 20 miles away.
    * Continuity: In the song "Do Re Mi" when Maria and the children are riding in the carriage, you see the same store fronts several times as the carriage passes by.
    * Continuity: At the beginning of the movie (just after it tells us we're in Salzburg, Austria), the nuns are shown walking through the Abbey on their way to mass. Two nuns are shown beginning to rise from kneeling in front of what may be icons. In the next shot they are no longer there.
    * Continuity: When the children are singing "So Long, Farewell" during the party, the rug moves about 18 inches so the children's feet are lined up
    * Continuity: During the thunderstorm, when Gretel runs into Maria's room, she throws open the door and we hear and see it bang on the opposite wall. However in the next shot, a close up of Gretel we see it bang against the wall again in the background but no sound is heard.
    * Anachronisms: The guitar played throughout the movie is a Goya guitar. Goya guitars were first made by the Levin Company from Sweden in the early 1950s.
    * Revealing mistakes: When the Germans are searching for the family on the roof of the abbey, one of the actors shines his flashlight accidentally toward the "mountains," and it throws a beam of light on the painted wall, revealing the fact that the Alpine scenery is painted, not real.
    * Revealing mistakes: When the Germans are searching for the family when they are hiding between the wall and the tombstones, one shines his flashlight through the locked gates. When the shot goes to the light panning around the enclosures, the beam is not that of a flashlight, but of a spotlight (non-defined edges, lighter/darker parts of the beam, vs. defined edges, bright circle).
    * Revealing mistakes: The exterior front door of the Von Trapp villa, shot in Salzburg, is a double door, maybe 7ft high, with a semi-circular glass fan-light above it. The interior of that same door, shot at Fox's studios in California, has a similar double door below, but with double height solid wood paneling continuing above it. No fan-light to be seen anywhere. It's interesting to note that the back door of the villa, opening onto the rear terrace, and again seen at various points during the movie, is also a 7ft high double door with a fan-light above it, but the interior and exterior versions of this do match up.
    * Anachronisms: When Rolf gives the telegram from Berlin to Liesl, his black feldmutze still has the Austrian red-white-red roundel on it.

oiya..after effect film ini... (ga tau aku doang, ato orang lain juga gini) mungkin karena dapet tempat duduknya agak depan dan gerakan di filmnya cepet-cepet, setengah film ke belakang perut mual-mual...hahahha... kata fitrah 'dan, lu ga pernah maen gem ya?!?!?' hahahha... ga pernaaahhhhh!!!!
