it’s made using real footage than heavily edited with CGI

it is, his page has thousands of these videos of him doing this every other day

In 1966, six Tongan teenage boys who were attending a boarding school decided to run away on a stolen boat. They aimed to sail to Fiji, but a storm wrecked their boat and left them stranded on the uninhabited island of 'Ata (Ata).

Fifteen months later, Australian lobster fisherman Peter Warner found them alive and well, leading to worldwide attention on their remarkable survival feat. They became known as the "Tongan castaways."

This story was big news at the time, prompting Sydney-based photographer John Carnemolla to be dispatched to the island alongside the boys to capture how they'd been living.

Why 'Donnie Darko' Is One Of The All Time Greats..

A film that manipulates the mind and the idea of what a story through film can portray all while making as many symbolic and metaphorical points towards society as can possibly fit. Let me explain why there's no film like Donnie Darko.

Based in 1988, the film follows a troubled high school student and his battle with hallucinations as he comes off his medication. As the hallucinations become more intense, the battle between who Donnie Darko is and where his Alter "Frank" begins increasing, and what those actions mean for the life and psyche of Donnie become more and more impactful.

Every-time I do pieces on films like these it's so hard not to give away too much of the story for those of you that haven't seen it yet. It's an impossible balance of trying to add context while not ruining the story so I apologize for any holes.

Overall though, the film is covering a multitude of issues such as Donnie Darko's problem with his own psyche, teaching us that even if it turns out life has no one meaning, we can still care for each other and make our own meaning while we're alive. While he may be a nihilist, a hedonist, and an existential teenager, Donnie cares deeply for those around him and will do anything to protect them.

The amount of foreshadowing done in this film is enough to make you watch it twice just for that fact alone. The amount of pieces that seem to have so little significance in the moment coming to be the signs of exactly what was to come is one of the reasons this film is so good to me and goes in the category of one of the best cult classic films of all time.

"the thing"

"the thing" is the name given to a bugged wooden great seal. towards the end of WWIl, the american ambassador to the soviet union was gifted a wooden great seal as a sign of friendship. the seal was hung on a wall in the ambassadors moscow residence where it remained for 7 years, before being discovered that it was bugged.

the bugging device contained no power source and worked via electromagnetic energy, where an external source would be able to power it up when needed. a british radio operator ended accidentally discovering the bug, while overhearing soviet air force communications mixed in with american voices coming from the ambassador's residence.
