When Anna and Paul are meeting their friends, you could consider that her husband got his leg broken and that Peter holding him and the Kid as 'hostage'. She also just saw that their dog got killed. Shock, fear, naive thinking nothing bad will happen. Its kind of explainable, but i understand what you mean.
I also found it even more unrealistic when they sit in front of them in a couch, knowing they gonna get killed and they do NOTHING. Fuckin fight ... its your last chance, god damn! :D
Locking Doors in Germany/Austria. Normally when you inside your house, you don't lock it. But older (shown) generations are/were tending to lock the door when it is late at night. But when you at home, you mostly put your keys either inside the lock, on a 'keyholder' next to the door or leave it inside your jacket and put in the wardrobe next to the door.
No i didn't saw a scene explaining, where they got the key and when exactly they locked the door. But i also didn't find it necessary to show it.
Maybe the 'keyholder' is a german thing, because i didn't found an english translation for it. Its called "Schlüsselbrett" in germany, and is still very typical in houses. It is a dedicated small board, placed on the wall next to the door. Which holds all keys, ready to pick up when you go. Not shown in the movie. But for me it is not a plothole, when intruders are in your house, they could easily find a keychain.
In Germany your door lock can be accessed from both side with the key. As i know in america you mostly have just a turning switch. This is mostly reserved to public spaces (Toilets, Hotel rooms, Offices etc.).
But its getting more a thing now, especially with different smart home solutions. The movie is from 1997.
Had immediately the same impression. Fury Road was truly an eye-candy, cgi was used only where it is needed.
Now the cars are fully cgi, so the environment. Bad animation, bad composing. Distracting as usual.
Especially because George Miller and the hole production/marketing campagne was so proud of the fact, that most of the car chase scenes in Fury Road were practically.
We all loved it for exactly that.
Now this. Why?
4. The version i watched didn't had subtitles, so i don't know what they was saying when - i assume - his mother and his brother has visited him.
My Guess: He and the main character were good guys and are getting close to each other.
Both characters shared the same destiny in their own circle and are very similar to each other.
Rashid has snitched the person, who respected him the most. Perhaps with same argument: "Im about to get out anyhow, and the other guys will beat the shit out of me every day, if i don't tell him how i get the drugs / bring him to the cold storage room ..."
He didn't thought that they would kill him. After that he felt guilty.
Yeah, a little bit cheesy - but im glad that they showed that both characters (and their circles) had their flaws and didn't stylized one side to be moral superior.
While this post was on the original IMDB-Board 6 years ago, you probably never read this answer. But anyways:
1. I think the movie doesn't really show, that the inmates would be far more checked by the wardens. Especially when they go to work. We just see them working in the kitchen and not how they get there - mostly there would be multiple checks if something is stolen from the workplace. (One time it is portrayed that the kitchen chef checks, if all knifes are brought back). You want the illegal stuff away from your body as quick as possible.
2. We don't know what security process the Visitors had to surpass, to be allowed to enter the meeting-room. But you can guess it is like a check-in on an airplane.
Otherwise: One guy is somehow able to get the drugs and hide it in his ass. Either he and his visitor are taking the risk or he has other privileges:
In Europe it is very common that prisoners are free to go outside during the day and only have to stay at night in the prison. Mostly to go therapy, work and get integrated back to society.
In Denmark 60% of all prisoners have this privilege. But mostly they are in special "(semi-)open prisons": only long sentences have to be in regular "closed prisons".
3. I was also wondering about that, because where i am from, the prisoners are also not allowed to have cash. But it seems that it is allowed ion Denmark to have money/cash: https://ep2022-dev.tunaweb.com/wp-content/uploads/Denmark-EN-prisoner-information-sheet.pdf
Also it wasn't so much money as you maybe think: 50 DKK is the smalles bank note and 7USD worth. In europe you pay easily 10$ per gramm marijuana on the street. The more you go north it is getting more expensive. I guess you could get easily 200 DKK for 1g Marijuana in prison.
Furthermore as it isnt really shown, it could also be hashish - which is much more dense and sometimes even more expensive: You can easily get 10-15g in one plastic-egg.
Columbus has a better story to tell, but influence wise i would also suggest Martin Luther, who singlehandedly reformed the church, is grounding father of evangelical protestants and translated the bible, so it was understandable to anyone. (a big thing at this time ;-)
Also Guthenberg got a huge influence with his introduction of (industrial) printing and making Information spreadable/reproducable, as it was never possible before.
Together with the translation of the Bible - and even without - it was a big step for humanity. In my opinion at least in a league with discovering the "new world".
Than we got also one more recent person:
Konrad Zuse: Built the first Computer based on the binary-system - as we are still using today.
Thank you for the suggestions, i didnt know some of them yet.
I would add to the list 'Circle' (2015) which is more a psychological chamber play, but matches many other aspects.
And what are you thinking about the 'Cube' Movies? There is a japanese remake coming this month ... i think this alone should qualify for it.
