For example, there are very few spontaneous, expertly choreographed musical numbers on the freeways surrounding the City of Angels, but widespread L.A. La La Land both does and doesn't capture the feel of life in modern-day Los Angeles. Fans of the film continue to debate what, exactly, Hurley flashes, be it a skimpy undergarment or a lack of skimpy undergarment. As she sits down at her desk, the fabric of the dress flits away for a moment, revealing, well, whatever is underneath. Hurley's Devil is wearing this in one of her first interactions with Elliot, inviting him into her unholy office to sign the soul-selling paperwork. Hurley spends most of her scenes in scant, provocative, body-hugging costumes, including a devil-red dress with a leg slit that goes all the way up. In the 2000 version, Elizabeth Hurley is the Devil, and she plays the mistress of all that is wicked as a strong, sexy, aggressively flirty type who can easily manipulate Brendan Fraser's geeky Elliot Richards into parting with his soul. The 2000 supernatural comedy Bedazzled is a remake of a 1967 film of the same name. The original starred British comedian Peter Cook as a charming version of the Devil, looking to acquire the soul of lovelorn nerd Stanley Moon (Dudley Moore) in exchange for some life-changing magic. The latter is widely acknowledged as the originator of that kind of groove - which it pioneered in 1972, decades after the California oil boom. During a moment of rest, the camera shows the bottom of Plainview's boots, and they bear a waffle pattern, the kind found on early Nike running shoes.
They look suitably expensive, but they also look unsuitably modern. Such labor requires a solid, reliable, and sturdy pair of work boots, and Plainview can be seen wearing a pair of brown leather ones. Plainview aggressively cajoles and bends rivals and allies alike to his will, traipsing all over others metaphorically when he's not traipsing literally around his forever increasing land holdings dotted with big, noisy oil derricks. Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood is the story of an oil man, a tyrant of a greed-driven tycoon named Daniel Plainview, fascinatingly portrayed with shocking brutality by Daniel Day-Lewis, who received his second of three Best Actor Academy Awards for his work as a driving force of the California oil boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The modern zipper, as depicted in Amadeus, was still about 100 years off the film's setting. The problem with this is that zippers did not exist in 18th century Austria. In the scene depicting the ballet in Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro, dancers are shown with those telltale metal teeth on their outfits. Pistek also put a lot of zippers on the Amadeus costumes. The head of wardrobe, Theodor Pistek, brought the lush and elaborate world of late 1700s high society Vienna to life, outfitting the actors in exquisite wigs, waistcoats, lace, frills, and petticoats. Amadeus won eight Academy Awards in 1985, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Abraham), and Best Costume Design. "Grand" would be a good word to describe Amadeus, Miloš Forman's film version of Peter Shaffer's play that purports to tell the story of the last days of famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce), and the hatred felt by his rival and contemporary musician, Antonio Salieri (F.
Alas, it still made it into the movie anyway. Crowe's Maximus falls to the ground, his derriere directly facing the camera, and exposes a pair of Lycra shorts under his tunic. The elastane fiber material is great for modern-day workouts, but has no place in ancient Rome. What ripped some viewers out of this intense watching experience, however, is the wardrobe malfunction that's visible in the middle of one such fight scene. All-out brawls and impassioned sparring sessions are requisites when it comes to getting back at the person who killed your loved one, and Crowe's Maximus does just that, making each move appear realistic and adding to the overall immersion of the film. Russell Crowe takes the lead in this Ridley Scott historical epic as Hispano-Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, a man bent on vengeance following the murder of his family. In the same vein as the Raiders of the Lost Ark blunder, there's a moment in Gladiator when some era-inappropriate garments make a guest appearance.
