At least twice in the film, there was a sunrise over water. The first time, I figured I must have misunderstood, and it was intended as a sunset. But the last time, in the context of the film it could only be a sunrise. And yet, the film is set on the Pacific Ocean, right? Was this a goof? Or am I somehow confused.
shareThe film was made in Chile in the coastal village of "La Boca", in "Navidad" township (yes, pacific ocean, because Chile is in the pacific ocean side of south america)
shareIn Chile does the sun rise in the west?
shareThe sun rise from de east (in chile the east is in the same direction of the andes mountains) and the sun set is in the west (the same direction of the ocean side in chile), like in any other place in the world xD
shareI haven't seen the film yet, sadly, but indeed in Chile the sunrise is ALWAYS in the Cordillera de Los Andes, and the sunset in the Pacific Ocean (unless you're in a valley city like Santiago itself, the sunset it's seen in the much smaller Cordillera de la Costa.
I'm gonna have in mind this sunrise thing when I can finally see the movie.
Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language
Cool; post back here when you've had a chance to see it. It really stuck out for me when I was watching the movie, and there's basically four possible explanations:
(1) The filmmaker did this deliberately, to make some sort of point about the nature of fiction and reality;
(2) The filmmaker was just unaware of, or didn't give any thought to, the different locations of sunrise and sunset;
(3) The filmmaker was aware that the sunrise is inaccurately depicted, but just hoped that viewers would not notice;
(4) It's my mistake, not the filmmaker's, and what I'm remembering as a sunrise was in fact a sunset.
I believe that (2) is most likely of these. If anyone confirms in this thread, I'll submit it as a goof to imdb.
