14 interesting details in movies that only a real moviegoer will notice

Sometimes the creators of films here and there insert small, but bright pearls in them to please real moviegoers, connoisseurs of plots and characters. Check if you are one of them, and if you have paid attention to everything!

When Professor X talks to Magneto in X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019), a Rolex Milgauss watch can be seen on his wrist.

This watch has one interesting property: it is not affected by magnetic fields with a magnetic induction level of up to 1000 gauss (hence the name) unit of measurement of the magnetic induction force). The watch was designed and created in 1956, but this Rolex model is still available today.

In the cartoon "Zooopolis", the police chief, buffalo Bogo, wears glasses when working with documents.

This is not just a funny little detail, but also a reference to the physiological characteristics of buffaloes: they really have very poor eyesight.

There are several scenes in John Wick where you can clearly see that the main character is wearing a watch in the conventional fashion.

However, during or immediately after the battle scenes, the clock changes position. Instead of looking outwards, the dial is turned towards the body. Experts say that this is how special forces soldiers wear watches: this position of the watch prevents glare on the glass of the dial, which can give away their location to a non-preacher.

In a scene from Hercules, Moira, the goddess of fate, shows Hades a future parade of planets.

And even though we only see six planets, don't think it was a mistake by the Disney producers. The multipliers specifically limited themselves to six planets, because ancient Greek astronomy knew only five planets other than Earth – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The sixth in the picture is, of course, Earth.

In "Moana", the grandmother, who taught the main character the wisdom of life, mentions that their people stopped sending ships to explore different parts of the world, as they once did.

In these words, she mentions a real episode in the history of the Polynesians, known as the"Long Pause". No one still knows what exactly caused this pause.

In the 2016 film The Jungle Book, King Louis is not the orangutan he was in the 1967 animated film. In the feature film, he became a gigantopithecus, a huge ancient ancestor of gorillas, whose remains, found by scientists, are very similar to those of modern orangutans.

The producers decided to change the appearance of the monkey because orangutans are not endemic to India, so biologists among the audience would be quite outraged by such a liberty. But gigantopithecus, as scientists believe, really inhabited the territory where, according to the plot, the action of this story takes place. In addition, the mighty appearance of the giant helps to give the character the appearance of a true monarch.

In the movie" Up!", Doug is the only dog able to track down Calvin.

This is not surprising: after all, all the other participants in the action are guard dogs. And Doug is a golden retriever, a hunting dog that can track prey by scent. This breed is considered good-natured and human-oriented, so that the amazing smell of the ancestors for centuries helped a person to hunt and in other situations.

Usually, to show how a person is electrocuted, kinematografists or animators usually depict a skeleton shining with an electric arc. However, in the cartoon: "Spider-Man: Across the Universes", when Miles electrocutes Peter Parker, the electricity, judging by the drawing, does not pass through his skeleton, but through his nervous system.

Apparently, the artist knew that the nerves are the conductors of electrical signals, and decided that the internal signals are no different from those received from the outside.

In X-Men: First Class, we meet a young Magneto who has yet to become Professor X's worst enemy. There is a scene in the movie where he tries to use his powers to move a 5-mark coin, but he can't handle the task.

This episode looks strange: why can't a character with superpowers move a coin? However, it is important to remember that the stamps were made of silver, a very non-magnetic material. Taking into account this property of silver, the episode becomes more understandable, especially since at that time Magneto is just beginning to reveal his true potential and does not know much yet.

The heroine of the film "Tron: Legacy" Quorra is part of a computer program. In a conversation with Sam, she mentions that she has a hard time defeating her father in some futuristic strategy game.

However, in fact, we are talking about a Chinese board game of go, which is quite difficult for a computer to master – so difficult that only in 2016 a computer program was able to defeat the world champion in go. So it seems that it was difficult for Quarra to beat her father, because this game is basically hard for computer programs.

In the cartoon "Aladdin" there is a scene where the genie writes down the order of his master in a notebook.

If you look closely, you can see that he writes from right to left. According to the plot, the action takes place in Arabia, the genie writes in Arabic, and does it as is customary in the Arabic language – from right to left. So the genie is clearly an Arabic-speaking character!

In the film "Blinded by Blindness", Elizabeth Hurley, who plays the devil, as a teacher, erases a mathematical equation from the blackboard.

Mathematicians will appreciate this episode: after all, on the board is Fermat's theorem, one of the most famous theorems of mathematics, which scientists have not been able to solve for many decades. Yes, only the devil can throw such a problem to schoolchildren!

When Maui changes incarnation, you can always see his magic hook imprinted on the body of the animal or on the object that he turns into.

The gill from the cartoon "Finding Nemo" belongs to a species of fish called the Moorish idol, or Zanclus cornutus. This tropical species is known for having difficulty adapting to life in cramped conditions – such as in an aquarium.

That's why Gill is always inventing various escape plans – he is so uncomfortable in the aquarium that it is vital for him to return to his natural habitat.
