The 2016 film Maudie, which tells the biographical story of the remarkable Canadian artist, naturally takes a number of creative liberties. Films like this are never shot exactly as events unfolded in real life - otherwise the story would be dull to watch.

However, I was intrigued to learn that Richard Nixon actually bought paintings from Maud Lewis. The film highlights this fact twice. First, Maud Lewis (played by Sally Hawkins) says she received a letter from Vice President Nixon:

Next in the film, journalists film a news report near Maud Lewis's house. And the reporter says:

Fans of Quentin Tarantino know that he has a foot fetish. For those unfamiliar with the term: it's when a man has a particular fascination with women's legs, and even more so with their feet. It's safe to say that Quentin Tarantino is the most famous foot fetishist in the world.

Let's start with Quentin Tarantino's first real film - Reservoir Dogs (1992). I'm skipping "My Best Friend's Birthday", as it was never officially released.

There's nothing related to foot fetishism in Reservoir Dogs: the film features only tough men. Women appear only briefly in a few background scenes. I found just one scene where a woman is shown in the foreground - the carjacking moment.

In The Fifth Element, there's a brief and easily overlooked scene in the middle of the movie where a spaceship takes off toward Fhloston Paradise. It only lasts a couple of seconds, but if you pause and take a closer look, you'll notice an interesting detail from the director.

I've numbered the key spots in the screenshot.

What we see is New York of the future. The ocean level has dropped dramatically, making the city look almost unrecognizable. The only question is - where could all the water have gone for sea levels to fall that much?

1 - The Statue of Liberty. It looks taller because of the extended base underneath.
2 - This marks the future ocean level. Somehow the ice caps didn't melt to add more water to the seas. Did humanity ship the water off to other planets?

3 - Manhattan, 4 - Brooklyn, 5 - The Brooklyn Bridge connecting them. With the water gone, the bridge is now spanning a canyon instead of a river.

And on what used to be the ocean floor, they've built a spaceport.
