Egypt is 1,596 km away from Greece in OUR world. But they’re in a whole new world.
I think they just did some camera trick to cut out most of the travel time and not make the movie longer.
Exactly. They did the same thing in The Lord of the Rings movie. Rivendell is about 300 miles from the Shire. The hobbits leave the Shire at about 40 minutes in, and arrive in Rivendell roughly 35 minutes later. I’m sure they saved time by not stopping for second breakfast, but that would imply traveling 300/35 = 8.6 miles per minute non-stop with their stubby little legs.
Or maybe some people complained the movie was already too long (these people are wrong) and didn’t want to watch hobbits walk 300 miles in real time.
This is it frodo. If i take one more step it will be the farthest from the shire ive ever been
You may already know about this, but there’s an edit of Fellowship of the Ring where Sam says this line every time he takes another step. It makes the movie over 9 hours long.
If it had been a neurotic hobbit, he would’ve said that with every following step
Now I’m just imagining in every movie or TV show if we had to watch people travel in real time to wherever they were going lol. Sounds painful.
OP has never heard of a montage
That’s the thing where you tie each other up for sexual gratification, right? Like in that Twilight fanfic? 😛
No, that’s a morgage. You’re thinking of the short walk between two lakes where you have to carry the canoe.
Do they think movies play in real time? What do they think when there’s a scene change?
It can’t be a montage if they are singing, unless we assume they skipped verses or repeated the song. Either way, I can tell you from personal experience that singing the same song for hours at a time does not make a good date
OP forgot that the magic flying carpet is magic
I prefer to think they sang the song over and over again on the round trip and the movie just splices it down to one time through the song.
In reality, these tortured souls rode through the frigid sky with no food or sleep for days on end with only the words of “a whole new world” to maintain their sanity. Their love was obviously forged through shared suffering.
