What's this we hear? Gun fire and yet we see no sparks! This alone would warrant a [GP] but it gets better. We couldn't help thinking of coefficient of friction, vector components, and forces as Peter hung swinging like a pendulum over the precipice while Henry (Brad Pitt) struggled to hold the rope and pull him back to safety. Had it not been too dark to see our calculator buttons, we would have attempted estimating the local acceleration due to gravity based on the period of Ralph's swing. Oh well, we'll have to wait for the video. Besides all this (if we may be permitted a brief digression from our mission of rating movie physics) the scenery, plot, and dialog were awesome. Seven Years in Tibet is proof that good movies can have good physics. |
