Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood , 2019

As a rule, the Oscar award for the best costume design goes to the artists who manage to accurately recreate a costume in accordance with its historical time period. But only one movie team gets a reward, while 5 teams are nominated. And everyone knows the movie that won the Oscar, but few people remember the nominees. However, these films are also worth spending a couple of evenings watching. The costumes in these movies are not only pleasant to look at, but they often hide a secret meaning.
We at Bright Side want to restore justice, so please, meet 11 Oscar nominees for the best costume design from the last decade.
11. Bright Star, 2009
Costume designer — Janet Patterson The designer paid special attention to the costumes of Fanny Brawne, the main character of this movie. Patterson tried to express not only the character’s personality through her clothes, but also show her emotions and feelings.
For example, in the scene where Fanny and her lover John get caught in the rain, the girl is wearing a pink dress. The costume designer was looking for the right fabric for this dress for a long time because she wanted to find a fabric that would be completely ruined by water. It would help to create an additional dramatic effect, because the scene was about betrayal. As a result, Fanny’s fresh and beautiful dress turns into a wet piece of unattractive fabric in the rain.
10. The King’s Speech, 2010
Costume designer — Jenny Beavan This film tells a story that happened more than 70 years ago, so the actors, in most cases, were dressed in vintage clothing from that period. Historic costumes were rented and repaired because most of them were very worn out. Beavan revealed that they tried to use the original vintage clothes as much as possible because they wanted the actors to feel comfortable in these clothes, so the audience would perceive them as real people and the whole movie didn’t seem too staged. But some actors didn’t really feel comfortable in these clothes and they still felt like they were wearing costumes. As a result, their acting didn’t seem natural, so costume designers had to adjust or make new costumes for them (instead of using vintage clothes). For example, the character of Helena Bonham Carter preferred colorful dresses in real life, but the actress looked uncomfortable in these costumes. So costume designers chose more calm colors for her clothes, to make the audience believe her as she played her character.
9. Jane Eyre, 2011
Costume designer — Michael O’Connor The main character’s style is simple and unpretentious, which radically differs from the carefully thought-out costumes that O’Connor usually creates, like for example in The Duchess. But the designer decided that Jane’s dresses should reflect her inner essence which couldn’t be revealed by the lush and densely decorated, but impersonalized costumes of the past.
Mia Wasikowska’s character even had special undergarments (stockings and corsets) designed especially for her. This was extremely important for the director because he wanted to show Jane without any clothes on, but if she wasn’t wearing the underwear that people used to wear during that time period, it would ruin the impression.
8. Les Misérables, 2012
Costume designer — Paco Delgado Paco Delgado’s first reaction when he was asked to head up costume design for this movie was, “My God, this is such a huge job!” And he wasn’t exaggerating, even for a bit, because designers had to create costumes from scratch for almost every character of this musical. Besides, the team that consisted of 50 people had to pay attention to historical details as well, because this movie covers a pretty long time period, from 1815 and up to 1848. And the clothes of the characters had to be stylistically different in different scenes.
Since the history of that time was very dark, Delgado’s first desire was to dress all the characters in black costumes. However, the director needed color on the screen, so the designer chose a bright color scheme with saturated blue elements.
7. The Invisible Woman, 2013
Costume designer — Michael O’Connor The designer thoughtfully studied the fashion of that time (the middle of the 19th century) using paintings created back then and photographs. One of the distinguishing features of this film is that the characters don’t change costumes in different scenes. Instead, they just add new details to their looks. This was done for the sake of historical accuracy. In the middle of the 19th century, people couldn’t afford to have hundreds of dresses and suits, so every time they went to a public gathering, they added a new detail or accessory to their old outfit, so it would look new.
6. Mr. Turner, 2014
Costume designer — Jacqueline Durran This film is full of historical details that needed to be taken into account by designers when they were creating costumes. A researcher was hired to gather all these little historical details before costume designers started to work,
The character of Hanna Danby, a servant who never leaves the main character’s house and slavishly serves him, deserves special attention. This woman looks poor and rude in comparison with Turner’s lovers. Durran thought about it and decided that, in real life, this woman would own one dress and would wear it until it was completely worn out. So she decided to make 2 costumes for Hanna. One was supposed to look new, and the other one was in very bad condition. This detail shows us how the character suffered during her relationship with the main character.
5. Carol, 2015
Costume designer — Sandy Powell The plot is built around Carol, the main character of the film. To separate her from the rest of the women, the designer used an interesting trick. The costumes of the character hide a lot of masculine details. For this reason, the audience perceives Carol as a self-sufficient woman, who can stand up for herself.
This character has another signature trait. She only paints her nails different shades of red, and her manicure is always impeccable. Meanwhile, the second main character’s hands don’t look chic at all, and it’s unlikely that she has ever worn any nail polish. During the film, the director attracts viewers’ attention to the wrists a couple of times, and the audience understands that Carol’s hands don’t know what the real work is. They’ve never cleaned toilets, washed floors, or done laundry. Her friend, on the contrary, isn’t afraid of work.
4. Florence Foster Jenkins, 2016
Costume designer — Consolata Boyle To recreate the atmosphere of New York at the beginning of the 20th century, in which the famous opera singer, Florence Foster Jenkins, lived, the costume designers had to work hard. In addition to studying historical documents, the team carefully examined and analyzed the pictures of Jenkins herself, and especially the photographs of her stage costumes. However, the costumes she wore in her everyday life and on stage didn’t differ very much from each other. The singer was famous for her passion for exotic fabrics and styles. Every costume in this movie was made by the designers from scratch.
3. Victoria and Abdul, 2017
Costume designer — Consolata Boyle The main difficulty for the designer was to preserve historical accuracy. The real queen wore clothes in very dark colors because she was mourning her deceased spouse. Nobody wanted to sacrifice the truth for the sake of color aesthetics, and the solution was elegant. Boyle kept the dark outfits but added countless textured elements that made even the darkest costume look almost festive.
To help the viewer understand how the romantic relationship between the characters was developing, the designer significantly modified the Queen’s outfits closer to the finale of the movie. If at the beginning of the film, she chose dark dresses, but by the end, she’d started to wear white and other light colors. It’s interesting that white is the traditional color to wear at the very end of mourning.
2. The Favourite, 2018
Costume designer — Sandy Powell Every costume you see in this movie was made from scratch in 6 weeks. Because of a low budget, designers used cheap fabrics in black and white colors. The jewelry that appears onscreen didn’t cost a fortune. Some pieces were handmade by the designers, and the rest of it was made from artificial pearls.
Some fabrics were bought in thrift shops. For example, the costume of the kitchen servant that you can see in the picture above was made from a pair of old jeans that the team bought at a second-hand store. The film doesn’t pretend to be historically accurate.
1. Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood, 2019
Costume designer — Arianne Phillips The designer came up with special clothing for each of the main characters. They acted as some kind of good-luck charms that not only make the characters more stylish, but also help to reveal their inner world.
This medallion was created for Rick Dalton’s character. It has a Tudor rose on one side, and the letter R is engraved on the other. By the way, the character of Leonardo DiCaprio wears a belt with a buckle on which the same letter is depicted. According to Phillips, a man who wears clothing with a monogram is arrogant and loves to boast. And Rick is just like that.
Cliff Butt had a noteworthy buckle. His had the logo of the Stuntmen’s Association. In addition, the character of Brad Pitt wore a Hawaiian shirt that is one of the most famous shirts created by Tarantino.

Cats tend to be seen as bad guys because they are considered unfriendly, cold, and malicious.

In 2012, a 15-year-old boy lifted a car to save his grandfather who was underneath it.
2. Longevity
There’s a big family of Old Order Amish people living in the vicinity of Berne, Indiana that are believed to have a special gene. But it’s actually a mutation that is responsible for longevity. Thanks to this, they can live around 10% longer than most people, and in addition, have significantly fewer cases of diabetes. These people have low levels of PAI-1, a protein that comprises part of a “molecular fingerprint” related to the aging of cells. It was already known that this protein was related to aging in animals, but researchers weren’t sure how it affected humans.
3. High altitude athleticism
The Tibetan people have always been famous for their ability to scale the planet’s highest peaks with ease while others feel incredibly sick while doing so. But as it turns out, Tibetan people are actually born with specific DNA built to handle things like this. Genetic analysis showed that ethnic Tibetans have adapted to mountain life. Specific genes give them the ability to metabolize oxygen more efficiently and protect themselves against a vitamin D deficiency.
4. Supertasting
There are some people in the world who have the amazing ability to sense the taste of everything more intensely. The cause of this is unknown, although researchers believe it’s related to the presence of a specific gene and an increased number of certain bacteria on the tongue which can be revealed with blue food dye. Approximately 25% of people are non-tasters, 50% are medium-tasters, and 25% are “supertasters.” Even though it’s impossible to say what products are the most preferable for supertasters, some documented examples of foods that are less consumable by them include: onion, coffee, grapefruit juice, green tea, cabbage, broccoli, and soy products.
5. Unbreakable bones
It’s unbelievable, but there’s a family in the USA with members of which have no history of bone fractures at all. According to research, this can be explained by a genetic mutation that causes high bone density. Actually, this family likely has the strongest bones of anyone on the entire planet.
6. “One-sided” freckles
This rather attractive feature may appear for different reasons. Usually, freckles are associated with sun exposure, so maybe one part of the body was being affected more by it than the others. However, there was a case where what was thought to be the one-sided freckles appeared to be a specific birthmark.
7. Super sprinting
Some of us have a superpower that lets us be good at sports which is, again, explained by our genes. Researchers found that there was a specific “gene for speed” that makes muscles stronger, thus affecting a person’s ability to run faster or be very athletic.

Parents often look for a unique, meaningful, loving name for their babies, but the way they decide on one varies from family to family. Typically, new parents turn to a giant book of names. However, others are happy to just follow the family tradition and name their kids after their parents or grandparents. Celebrities, on the other hand, lean toward the avant-garde approach when it comes to naming their kids, which is why many of them have decided to break typical stereotypes.
That’s why today at Bright Side, we’d like to introduce you to 13 kids with unique names along with their celebrity parents’ reasons to name them in such an extravagant, but always meaningful way.
1. Tu Morrow
Rob Morrow (who acts in the show, Numb3rs) and Debbon Ayer named their daughter Tu. A familiar word might come to mind when combining her first name and her last name: “tomorrow.” Rob Morrow declared in an interview that opting for such an original name was a family tradition. In fact, Debon Ayer is pronounced like “debonair.” He even made a joke about naming a hypothetical future son Bone, resulting in “Bone Marrow.”
2. Apple
Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow named their daughter Apple. In a 2004 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the actress revealed that Chris Martin first came up with the idea. Gwyneth Paltrow thought the name was cute and sweet, so they went for it and decided to name their baby after the popular fruit.
3. Bronx Mowgli
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s son is named Bronx Mowgli. The Fall Out Boy bass player has never given a public explanation for why they named their son Bronx. He did, however, confirm that “Mowgli” is inspired in Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, as well as Disney’s adaptation. Both protagonists are also named Mowgli.
4. Coco
Courteney Cox and David Arquette’s daughter is named Coco. The Friends actress declared to the press that the name served as a shortened version of her own name, Courteney Cox. Just like Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, the Arquettes thought that the name reminded them of another sweet fruit, the coconut (which in Spanish is “coco”).
5. Memphis Eve
The Irish actress and model, Memphis Eve is Paul David Hewson and Alison Hewson’s daughter (yes, in case you were wondering, that’s Bono’s real name). U2’s lead singer said that his daughter’s name came from the word “seven” which was chosen because Eve was born on the seventh of July at 7 am. And if you look at the middle of the word, you can find the name, Eve.
6. North West
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West decided to name their first daughter North West. In addition to her first and last name, her parents call her Nori, like the Japanese seaweed. The couple continued the tradition of giving their children original names with their son, Saint; daughter, Chicago; and second son, Psalm.
7. Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s kids are named after the couple’s favorite places in the world: Kingston, Jamaica, and Zuma Beach in Malibu, California. Their full names resulted in Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock.
8. Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson Jr.
Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., better known as Prince, is the late Michael Jackson’s oldest son. The King of Pop decided to use a royal title and combine it with his own name along with the abbreviation of the name, Junior. Michael Jackson then named his second son Prince Michael Jackson II with similar elements as he combined his own name and a royal title. His daughter’s name is also far from being normal: Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson. Her name is a combination of her dad’s name and the French capital. We see a certain pattern emerging here...
9. Kyd
Téa Leoni and David Duchovny’s first son is named Kyd Miller. Kyd, which is similar to “kid,” might have been inspired by the name of the famous author, Thomas Kyd. Despite being a very original name, the actors’ son goes by his middle name, Miller.
10. Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper
Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk decided to name their daughter Lea de Seine. The supermodel talked about her daughter’s name and its meaning and said it was inspired by the name of her grandmother from her father’s side, Galina. The second part of the name is a reference to the famous river that crosses Paris.
11. Bear
Bear Blu is Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Jarecki’s son. During an interview, Alicia Silverstone admitted that she considered up to 5 different names but her husband, Christopher, suggested she choose between Bear and Blu. Because she found both to be such sweet names, she decided to go with both and call their son Bear Blu.
12. Reign Aston Disick
Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick decided to name their third son Reign Aston. She confessed to already wanting to call their previous babies Reign, but in the end, they decided to name them Mason and Penelope. However, their third kid got the special name. She also declared that the alternative name they had in mind was Rain in case the baby had been a girl.
13. Bluebell Madonna
Geri Halliwell is Bluebell Madonna’s mother. The ex-Spice Girl explained that her daughter’s name was suggested by her own mother and Bluebell’s grandmother as a reference to the flower. On the other hand, Madonna is a reference to both the Virgin Mary and the famous pop singer who’s one of Geri’s idols.

Mackenzie is a young woman who raised 9 Newfoundland dogs for her nonprofit organization which is devoted to providing canine therapy for people in hospitals and those who are undergoing treatment. It all started when those very same dogs helped Diedre, Mackenzie’s mother, cheer up during her battle with colon cancer. They both started telling their story through social media where people learned more about their work.
Bright Side wants to share this beautiful story of a mother, a daughter, and their 9 dogs that bring happiness to those who are in desperate need of a smile.
Mackenzie’s mother played an essential role in helping her build the dream.
Mackenzie Makatche is a 28-year-old girl from Pennsylvania, US. Along with her 9 dogs, she helps hospitalized patients and people undergoing treatment. It all started after Diedre, Mackenzie’s mother, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2016.
7 dogs became part of the family and helped Diedre fight cancer.
Back then, the family had 7 doggies that supported her during the difficult process. Diedre was the first “patient” to receive care from her fluffy friends.
Instagram was the perfect place to share the story of Diedre and her dogs.
As they went through that delicate journey, the mother and daughter created an Instagram account. There, they shared their activities and the fundamental role that the dogs played in supporting and comforting sick people. They also adopted 2 more puppies and received lots of messages filled with words of love and encouragement. Mackenzie said that on the social media platform, she found a great audience willing to send her prayers for her mother.
Even though the battle was lost, there were still many dreams waiting to be fulfilled.
Sadly, Diedre didn’t overcome her struggle. But she left the seed of a dream, and Mackenzie managed to make it come true. She created The Newf Crew, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing canine therapy. “Knowing that people cared meant the world to my mother,” said the young woman, regarding all the love and support she received through social media before and after Diedre’s passing.
Now their goal is to help others.
The organization is led by Mackenzie and her 9 dogs: Guinness, Murphy, Storm, Skyy, Aisling, Oliver, Belle, Duncan, and Coeli. 3 of them have received the necessary training to become therapy dogs.
The 9 Newfoundland dogs have also helped Mackenzie deal with her pain.
Through her Instagram account, the young woman shares the breeding process of her dogs who helped her overcome her loss. “If it weren’t for the dogs, there would be so many days that I would’ve stayed in bed after my mom died,” she said in an interview.
Mackenzie became popular on the Internet, in part, thanks to a meme where she appears with her dogs.
She gained some popularity on the web for having her own meme, where she’s pictured carrying many of her dogs when they were still puppies. When talking about all the attention she has received, she said it’s cool to know that people show interest in her pets.


brightside--2020-05-05--The Himalayas Appear for the First Time in 30 Years, and 14 More Events We Don’t Hear About Everyday

The Himalayas Appear for the First Time in 30 Years , and 14 More Events We Don ’ t Hear About Everyday Sometimes nature offers us special effects that are worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster .
And when this happens , we can consider ourselves lucky , as a number of conditions have to be in place for certain rare phenomena to occur .
These events , like a rainbow waterfall , can even make us wonder if we are on a different planet or living inside the plot of a fairytale .
1 .
Comet Hale Bopp was seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Comet Hale-Bop circled the sun in 1997 and became one of the brightest comets in history .
It was a long-lasting gift crossing the sky , as it could be seen with the naked eye for more than 18 months ( a record ) .
2 .
A fallstreak hole — a circle that opens in the heavens Imagine that it ’ s a cold day and the horizon is full of dense clouds .
Suddenly , you see a large hole that you can see the sky through .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a UFO , it is called a skypunch or a fallstreak hole .
It occurs when a large number of tiny ice crystals break into the cloud layer causing the droplets to evaporate .
It ’ s all physics , but totally magical .
3 .
A fog bow that looks like an albino rainbow When seeing this rainbow , you might think that you have lost the ability to differentiate colors .
Keep calm and enjoy , a fog bow is like the rainbow ’ s albino brother .
Instead of being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made up of tiny mist particles .
Since they ’ re smaller , they only reflect that whitish color that gives us a kind of spooky and mysterious image .
4 .
It ’ s not the sea , it ’ s lava on a Hawaiian beach .
In May 2018 , the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii explosively erupted .
It started throwing ash 30,000 feet into the air and spewed fountains of thick lava that reached the Pacific Ocean .
It also traveled great distances from its origin , destroying Hawaii ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reached beaches too , filling Kapoho Bay , and extended new land nearly a mile into the sea .
5 .
Comet West near the Sun in 1976 Comet West was described as one of the brightest objects to pass through the inner solar system in 1976 .
Its nucleus split into 4 fragments , offering a spectacular image of its long tail .
This was , at the time , one of the very few comet breakups that had been observed .
Seeing an erupting volcano is itself overwhelming and unusual , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this spectacle .
When a volcano erupts it sheds a pyroclastic flow , a fast-moving current of hot gas and ashes .
Sometimes , the strength with which it throws these materials together , combined with the extremely high temperatures , generates an astounding lighting show .
It was only a lucky few who witnessed live how Bridalveil Fall , in Yosemite National Park , turned into a rainbow .
This is a stunning example of the situation when sunlight reflects on water droplets under specific circumstances .
It looks like Photoshop , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
8 .
Frozen waves were spotted on the coast of Croatia .
9 .
The desert came back to life and turned into an explosion of flowers .
10 .
Sun pillars form above the sea ice on the Chukchi Sea 11 .
A super blue blood moon rises behind the Parthenon temple in 2018 .
Total lunar eclipses that fall on supermoons are relatively rare .
In the 21st century , there are 87 total lunar eclipses , of which just 28 are supermoons .
Sky gazers could see a swollen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the first time in decades , showing the moon bathed in a bright red light .
If we see that the sky shines as if there were giant soap bubbles floating in it , it is not that we are having a hallucination , but that we are witnessing iridescent clouds .
This otherworldly effect only occurs when very uniform water droplets diffract the sunset light .
13 .
The Himalayas appear for the first time in 30 years .
15 .
The midnight sunset reflected in a waterfall in Iceland .

Sometimes nature offers us special effects that are worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. And when this happens, we can consider ourselves lucky, as a number of conditions have to be in place for certain rare phenomena to occur. These events, like a rainbow waterfall, can even make us wonder if we are on a different planet or living inside the plot of a fairytale.
Here at Bright Side, we love that nature surprises us. So, here we talk about some events so we can marvel, once again, at the world we live in.
1. Comet Hale Bopp was seen above the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge.
Comet Hale-Bop circled the sun in 1997 and became one of the brightest comets in history. It was a long-lasting gift crossing the sky, as it could be seen with the naked eye for more than 18 months (a record).
2. A fallstreak hole — a circle that opens in the heavens
Imagine that it’s a cold day and the horizon is full of dense clouds. Suddenly, you see a large hole that you can see the sky through. This is not an announcement of the arrival of a UFO, it is called a skypunch or a fallstreak hole. It occurs when a large number of tiny ice crystals break into the cloud layer causing the droplets to evaporate. It’s all physics, but totally magical.
3. A fog bow that looks like an albino rainbow
When seeing this rainbow, you might think that you have lost the ability to differentiate colors. Keep calm and enjoy, a fog bow is like the rainbow’s albino brother. Instead of being made of water droplets, it is made up of tiny mist particles. Since they’re smaller, they only reflect that whitish color that gives us a kind of spooky and mysterious image.
4. It’s not the sea, it’s lava on a Hawaiian beach.
In May 2018, the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii explosively erupted. It started throwing ash 30,000 feet into the air and spewed fountains of thick lava that reached the Pacific Ocean. It also traveled great distances from its origin, destroying Hawaii’s largest natural freshwater lake. It reached beaches too, filling Kapoho Bay, and extended new land nearly a mile into the sea.
5. Comet West near the Sun in 1976
Comet West was described as one of the brightest objects to pass through the inner solar system in 1976. Its nucleus split into 4 fragments, offering a spectacular image of its long tail. This was, at the time, one of the very few comet breakups that had been observed.
6. Pyroclastic flow that generates volcanic lightning.
Seeing an erupting volcano is itself overwhelming and unusual, but another extraordinary event can add to this spectacle. When a volcano erupts it sheds a pyroclastic flow, a fast-moving current of hot gas and ashes. Sometimes, the strength with which it throws these materials together, combined with the extremely high temperatures, generates an astounding lighting show.
7. A rare waterfall rainbow caught at Yosemite National Park.
It was only a lucky few who witnessed live how Bridalveil Fall, in Yosemite National Park, turned into a rainbow. This is a stunning example of the situation when sunlight reflects on water droplets under specific circumstances. It looks like Photoshop, but nature overflows with color and imagination.
8. Frozen waves were spotted on the coast of Croatia.
A fierce storm whipped up these monster waves, that then froze, in sub-zero temperatures in 2012. The sea crashed over benches and lampposts on a promenade and froze on impact. This left the seaside of Senj, Croatia, covered in solid layers of ice that looked like whipped cream.
9. The desert came back to life and turned into an explosion of flowers.
Super blooms in California typically occur once every 10 years. It requires a perfect storm of conditions: steady rain, warm temperatures, and low winds. The desert turns into a colorful painting when thousands of wildflowers blossom at roughly the same time. A wonderful gift for our eyes.
10. Sun pillars form above the sea ice on the Chukchi Sea
The reflection of light on tiny ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere can create a sun pillar. If the light comes from a sunset, this event that can freeze us in a beautiful moment.
11. A super blue blood moon rises behind the Parthenon temple in 2018.
Total lunar eclipses that fall on supermoons are relatively rare. In the 21st century, there are 87 total lunar eclipses, of which just 28 are supermoons. Sky gazers could see a swollen “supermoon” and lunar eclipse combined for the first time in decades, showing the moon bathed in a bright red light.
12. Iridescent clouds
If we see that the sky shines as if there were giant soap bubbles floating in it, it is not that we are having a hallucination, but that we are witnessing iridescent clouds. This otherworldly effect only occurs when very uniform water droplets diffract the sunset light.
13. The Himalayas appear for the first time in 30 years.
In April of 2020, the drastic decrease in pollution levels has given back the view of the splendid Dhauladhar mountain range. These summits are part of the Himalaya mountain range and can now be observed even from Jalandhar, 143 miles away.
14. Snowfall in spring in Tokyo
Seeing snow in Tokyo isn’t exceptional, but what made it really surprising is that it happened in April while cherry trees blossomed. Tokyo gets snow about 7.6 times per season, mainly in January and February. And this was the first spring snowfall in 32 years.
15. The midnight sunset reflected in a waterfall in Iceland.
During summer months in Iceland, the Sun remains visible at midnight local time, and witnessing a sunset at 1:30 a.m. can totally blow your mind. Capturing this moment, with just the twilight illuminating the 196 feet of the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, is just breathtaking.

If you think about the number of sequels, remakes, and reboots, it becomes quite clear why so many people say that there are very few new and original ideas in the movie industry. In 1994, in his interview for Empire, Quentin Tarantino said that he didn’t think it was bad to take scenes from other movies. He also said that great artists steal, they don’t do homages.
Bright Side has taken a look at the examples of scenes that some movie directors borrowed from others. And in the bonus, you will find out which director took entire shots that were originally done by someone else.
Drive (2011) — One Hour Photo (2002)
Nicolas Winding Refn filled Drive with a lot of references to classic movies from the ’70s and the ’80s. Besides, in the film, you can see the shots that are exactly the same as ones that other directors did in the past. For example, in 2002, in his movie One Hour Photo, Mark Romanek shot the main character, played by Robin Williams, between the shelves in a store. This is the exact same scene as in Drive.
The Shining (1980) — Körkarlen (1921)
Jack Torrance in The Shining by Kubrick hit the door with his ax exactly like the character of Victor Sjöström’s Körkarlen. Interestingly, Victor Sjöström wasn’t the first person to have this idea. He, in turn, was inspired by D.W. Griffith’s Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl that was released in 1919.
The Untouchables (1987) — Battleship Potemkin (1925)
The innovative drama by Sergei Eisenstein called Battleship Potemkin tells the story of a mutiny during the revolution of 1905. In the chaos, the director showed the difficult situation of the innocent witnesses with an unforgettable tragic image — a baby stroller falling down the stairs. If you remember this scene, but you are sure you’ve never watched Eisenstein’s film, it is probably because you remember it from Brian De Palma’s The Untouchables. In the culmination, a young mother gets in the crossfire and her baby’s stroller also goes down the stairs.
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) — Full Metal Jacket (1987)
There are very few things in common between the comedy Moonrise Kingdom and the war drama Full Metal Jacket. But there is something similar about the camerawork. Wes Anderson, famous for his love of symmetry, reshot the scene where the commander talks to the new soldiers. In this version, though, it doesn’t look as rude.
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) — Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno (1964)
This is not an example of a borrowed scene, but more of an interpretation. Aside from symmetry, Wes Anderson also loves the shots where characters look directly into the camera and breach the 4th wall. Henri-Georges Clouzot shot his film Inferno in 1964. At the time, actress Romy Schneider had glitter on her face and used light to make the shot “move.” Anderson used the Bokeh effect, instead of makeup, in his The Grand Budapest Hotel and used different color transitions. So, this is the perfect example of the new interpretation of an old idea.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) — The Wizard of Oz (1939)
One of the most memorable moments in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the scene where the characters see the Black Gate of Mordor. The tired travelers come to the rocks and look into the rows of marching soldiers. A similar shot can be seen in The Wizard Of Oz. There, the characters were also sitting behind rocks watching the army of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Frances Ha (2012) — The Virgin Suicides (1999)
Noah Baumbach’s Frances Ha was compared to the films by Woody Allen, like Annie Hall and Manhattan. But also, there is a scene that is almost exactly the same as in Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides. The story and the colors are different, but the overall look is very similar.
House of Sand and Fog (2003) — Requiem for a Dream (2000) — Dark City (1998)
This is a case when not only are the shots similar, but the actress is also the same. Jennifer Connelly is often called “A Woman on a Pier.” In the final scenes of 3 movies, you can see her standing on a pier. You might have thought that all of the movies were made by the same director, but they weren’t. First, Connelly was on the pier in Dark City by Alex Proyas, then in the famous drama Requiem for a Dream by Darren Aronofsky, and a third time in House of Sand and Fog by Vadim Perelman.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) — Miracle in Milan (1951)
At the time, the flight on the bicycle in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was something totally outstanding. The director even used this shot for the logo of his company, Amblin Entertainment. But few people actually know that with this scene, Spielberg was actually showing respect to one of his favorite directors Vittorio De Sica. But in his Miracle in Milan, the characters were traveling on a broom. In E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the concept changed a little bit, but it’s still pretty similar.
Back to the Future (1985) — Safety Last! (1923)
Back to the Future, by Robert Zemeckis, is full of wonderful original ideas. But the key scene where Doc is on the clock trying to connect the cable was definitely taken from another film. The most attentive viewers noticed that almost the exact same thing happened to Harold Lloyd in his 1923 masterpiece Safety Last!. You can watch the opening minutes of Back to the Future where you will see a clock with Lloyd on it.
Pulp Fiction (1994) — 8½ (1963)
Quentin Tarantino loves borrowing ideas from other movies. The famous dance with Uma Thurman and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction was inspired by a similar scene in 8½ by Federico Fellini, that Barbara Steele and Mario Pisu starred in.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) — SF: Episode One (1998)
Here is another example of when Quentin Tarantino took someone’s idea. Kill Bill is some sort of a mash-up of different genres and references to a lot of iconic movies and characters. The yellow suit of Black Mamba is a very similar suit to Bruce Lee’s from Game of Death. In the first volume of Kill Bill, Tarantino shot the fight sequence in front of a lit wall, exactly like it was in SF: Episode One. Only the color wasn’t red, but instead was blue.
The Zero Theorem (2013) — Closer (2004)
In the movie Closer, Natalie Portman played the part of a young stripper. In one of the scenes, she has pink hair when she meets the character played by Clive Owen. Terry Gilliam liked this idea and used the same image in his movie The Zero Theorem. When the character has to play the role of a dancer, she also wears a pink wig.
Bonus: Blade Runner (1982) — The Shining (1980)
Ridley Scott had to change the ending of Blade Runner because the studio thought the film was too dark and grim. Because they didn’t have enough money at that point, the director had to ask Kubrick for help. Kubrick is famous for shooting tons of footage for his projects. So, at the very beginning of The Shining, you’ll see the exact same shot from the end of Blade Runner.

Some people find this quiet to be anything but pleasant — but rather, extremely uproarious — and decide to share these photos of how their little ones explored the world so that we could all share a laugh.
Here at Bright Side, we truly think kids, dogs, and cats are little angels and even when they make a mess, sometimes it can be pretty chucklesome.

Whenever we want to lose weight we need professional medical advice, a change of habits, willpower, and motivation from our family and friends. Jaime Allison and her daughter Calista Jean Jones had something like this. Thanks to the support of each other and their inner circle, they began to practice a fun dance for months and lost about 195 pounds between the 2 of them.
Bright Side learned the details of this incredible story in which both mother and daughter overcame all their fears regarding the obesity they were suffering from.
Motivating oneself with a “little bit” of emotion to change a lifestyle.
Jaime, 40, and Calista, 18, like most of us, started the first day of the year with the premise of improving their physical condition and health. It was then, in 2016, when they decided to make their first adjustments with a little bit of fun, after enrolling in what appeared to be dance classes.
An ’80s dance that changed their lives for the better in 3 years.
However, they discovered that they would be practicing Jazzercise, a discipline that was born in the ’80s and which combines dance choreography and jazz through changes in styles and genres, with resistance activities, yoga, Pilates, and kickboxing.
Benefitting those around them on a daily basis thanks to their changes
When both mother and daughter began to see improvements, they also realized that they were not the only beneficiaries, as the family’ s father also managed to lose some weight and was fundamental in supporting the ladies. “We plan together, grocery shop together, cook together, attend meetings together, and we are LIVING FULLY TOGETHER!,” Jaime said in a post, where she also highlighted that at that time they had already lost 153 pounds together.
Obesity is a concerning problem in the United States.
The evolution of this family is both admirable and worrisome. According to data obtained by the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2017, it was estimated that 40% of all Americans suffered from obesity. However, both mother and daughter managed to turn this problem around in their lives, which in the end helped them lose about 195 pounds together.
The way to avoid this is by sheer free will.
“Thank you for being one amazing workout partner! This workout has completely changed us!,” exclaimed the mother in a message on her Instagram account, to thank and highlight what her daughter has accomplished in the “challenge.”
The best decision with amazing results worth sharing
After 3 years, the girls recognize that “persistence and self-esteem” led them to take the big step that is now recognized around the world. “Today you see that smile?? That’s joy [...] I love the reflection in the mirror [...] Knowing at that moment how hard I’ve worked to get here. It wasn’t overnight. It was one day at a time. Embracing the process. Not comparing myself to anyone else. [...] Find what keeps you on point. Give it your all. Don’t lose focus. Track, weigh, and measure every bite. Get in your activity. Water. Eat foods that fuel you,” Jaime said.
