Apologies, I meant to say Telly Savalas, not Terry lol 🤦♂
No worries Kojak.. I mean Cullen
Don't worry...he still loves ya, baby! lol
"Who loves ya, baby?" -Terry
I loved Terry Savalas as Columbo.😄
"Terry Savalas" is an AliExpress rip-off of Telly Savalas. That comment is not racist if I have my fingers crossed.
Growing up in the 90's, I remember having the belief that the fundamental drive of a journalist was to expose the truth, even at the cost of the organisation they work for. It wasn't until the late 00's that I realised they were just employees, working for a monthly wage and trying to keep their head down til retirement like everyone else.
Oh they are much worse than that. And that existed in the 1990's.
My first introduction to this was the Max Headroom TV series back in the mid-80s. Edison Carter was a lone wolf journalist who cared about the truth, and exposed his own network's nefarious deeds at the risk of his own life. It got me thinking about the media in general.
Have you seen the Insider, a Michael Mann movie starring Pacino and Crowe? Also a media drama and one of my favourite movies.
Only indie journos tend to do, genuine journalism.
then 9/11 happened and led to the patriot act, then repeal of the fairness doctrine, but ultimately the consolidation of all the news industry into the hands of the few, also lets consider that tort reform didnt help either. And now we cant even sue internet platforms, bc they dont count as publishers, everything can be censored from top to bottom of this civilization. hurrah progress!
This Film was a real eyeopener for me as a 10 year old, showed me the world is not as we are told and to never trust the media. Excellent reveiw of a brilliant film.
Watergate taught me about not trusting authority on face value, but this film was a good reminder.
It's anti American garbage.
are you serious lol. In real life, it would be one of two things: either EVERYONE would find out, not just one 'brilliant' reporter, because you would NEVER be able to cover up something that huge, OR the cover up would have to be so ingeniously, intricately done, that a scrappy Elliott Gould would NEVER be the one to uncover it. What people do not seem to get is that this hokey, badly acted, TERRIBLY scripted rubbish is just a movie, and one with a ridiculous premise. But no, everyone immediately thinks they've cracked it. 'Oh I GET IT! This is telling us the Apollo missions were faked!!' 'THOSE LYING BAS**RDS!!' people are so, so dumb. ITS A MOVIE, and a pretty bad one at that.
@paulinegallagher7821 🐑
If you think that the world governments are telling the people the truth and everything is unkie dory then you're delusional.😂 So you really think that the government had your best interest at heart to lock you down when the pandemic hit
Listen to George Carlin on all subjects.
The
Guy is spot on.🤔🇬🇧
Frankly, this was the kind of thought-provoking stuff we got as kids that everyone would freak-out about today.
Seems mad. All the stuff we got as kids back then, that is just verboten today, so it all has to be updated for 'modern audiences.'
"If We Did Fake It", NASA edition.
And then OJ sues over the title😂
@@sacrosanct23you spelled “stabs” wrong.
My girlfriend fakes it all the time!!!
Not A Space Agency NASA
Everything is fake 🤣🤣🤣
Written by O.J. Simpson 🤣
The 70s had many fantastic conspiracy and dark films.
Nothing beats The Parallax View.
Also, the moon landing is fake.
I've always loved this incredible, vastly underrated movie. Thank you for featuring it, good sir! 👍
I love the part of the sinister helicopters chasing them in the desert
Saw this in the theatre when I was a little kid. I was a space nut and loved watching all the NASA launches on TV. I never looked at NASA the same way again after this movie...🤯
@@readhistory2023 The film originally was scheduled to debut in the United States in February 1978, but good preview screenings and delays in Superman caused it to move to June. Capricorn One became the year's most-successful independent film.[5][10]
Space is fake. Everything from NASA is fake.
IT'S A MOVIE. IT ISN'T REAL.
@@iniquity123 All that you ever truly know is what you have experienced in your own presence, all else is hearsay. The moon landing itself was a movie.
@@iniquity123 That movie has shattered my fragile little mind!🤣
One of my favourite movies as a kid. The idea the govt would act so dishonourably and cover stuff up like this was crazy and wild.
Not so much nowadays....
yeah I just watched this last year
It was always this way
@@deadbeef576 eh I think the media covers it up and deep state acts behind the scenes to do stuff....like gulf of tonkin by cia to get us into vietnam war.
Blew me away when I saw it as a teenager. The snake snack. The hunting helicopters. The ending. Brilliant film.
The helicopters were sinister, but also cheesy at times the way they tried to make them seem like living creatures, nodding to each other.
@@carlmanvers5009Came here to say this. Loved how they turned into each other as if they were having a conversation 😅
@@carlmanvers5009 That was creepy for me as a child, but now I agree it was weird, lol.
I think it is an underrated gem of a thriller that still holds up and very enjoyable.
Sam Waterston was great in this. His cat on the roof joke was pretty good as he climbed.
Also, the moon landing is fake.
I remember the film being used as fodder for Conspiracy Theorists who claimed we never went to the Moon.
We were so naive, after all, we saw it all on TV...
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Yes, if it's on TV it must be true. Our overlords would never lie to us.
I always took this film as a shot at our own moon landing.
"space may be the final frontier but it's made in a hollywood basement"
Really? I read the Director would have liked to use the blurb made despite NASA but NASA were helpful to the film because its just a movie and the know they went to the moon.
Capricorn One is on my list of all time great movies. It shows what is possible with truly great and intelligent writing. I would defend the end by noting that the reporter does not find Brubaker by chance: the pilot of the crop duster tells him he ha seen these military helicopters flying around for the last day or two, and so they decide to follow the helicopters.and are able to swoop in when the helicopters finish tracking him down. A twist Hollywood is incapable of writing today.
The helicopter pilots didn't seem to interested in the plane following them though. They would have blown it out the sky.
@@TheBottlenose33 Why should they .. It is an old crop duster .. not out of place given the environment . Also .. do they really want to draw attention to themselves by shooting down the plane? .. it would only cause more problems in the long run ..after all, all it takes is one witness to see them destroying the plane then the game is up
@@kittyhawk9707
2001: "Flight 93 has crashed in a field in Pennsylvania"
Pictures of crash site: a hole in the ground with no debris whatsoever
The audience: "Flight 93 has crash landed in a field in Pennsylvania!"
People make up shit and repeat it 100 times, brain dead drones gobble it up and repeat it.
@@im3phirebird81 Erm .. I cannot see how that is relevant .. If the chopper pilots shot the biplane down then sooner or later somebody is going to ask where the plane is .authorities are going to be involved .. and that is extra heat they wouldn't want if they are trying to cover stuff up . To relate the events in this film to 9/11 is just daft ..
@@kittyhawk9707 no it is about the nature of such events. The wider pulblic is utterly gullible and will regurgitate anything they are fed, though this has started fading more and more as the past few years went on. Fact is it is not so hard for them to cover stuff up because all they need to do is call a few people to roll a story that says one thing and regurgitate it over and over and over and people tend to believe it. Seen it often enough.
The best "based on a true story" movie ever made
I saw this film at a drive-in when it released, as part of a double-feature. I was a young kind and it didn't stick with me as I grew up like other films have, and my generational peers have no recollection of the film at all. However, just a couple years ago when watching Naked Gun, the OJ scenes juggle my memory and I decided to acquire and watch Capricorn One again. The relevancy was striking and it made the film stand-out to me and stick. It was really underrated and glad you put a light on it, I'm going to give this another watch this weekend with your comments in consideration. Thank you.
I watched this movie in the theater when it first came out and have seen it one or two more times since. I felt the ending while conclusive needed a bit more. My wife is from the UK and always says "allegedly they landed on the moon". She worked for retired Air Force guy who was an Aerospace engineer and she regularly said this to take the Mickey out of him.
SPOILER ALERT: Agreed re ending. It could have done with a director's cut featuring further exposure of the cover up and aftermath. All said, it did leave you feeling satisfied that the truth made it out to the public, albeit those in the final scene that I'll not describe in order not to reveal spoilers to those who have not seen the movie.
I agree. I want so badly to see what happens after the freeze frame.
@@cosmosfrontier9681 Stop being so sensitive! Moon landing was faked. Deal with it! We have enough evidence to say they never went to the moon. Every mission above low earth orbit was faked.
I understand you are butthurt but you acting like a child here and making yourself a fool.
@@cosmosfrontier9681 it's called a wind-up. It's humerous chill out.
One of those - "they don't make movies like this anymore" movies.
Pure gold, so much truth contained in this film.
When Telly Savalas saves James Brolin my audience CHEERED. It was like the power loader reveal in Aliens 2. It was a great movie moment, for me. I loved this movie.
Wow, I forgot Telly was in this. Love this film, one of the best conspiracy films. The 70's are the premier decade for conspiracy films.
This is one of my favorite movies from the 70s. San Waterston's scene as he's telling the joke while climbing the cliff is epic, as is Hal Holbrook's speech to the astronauts about the current state of the space program after they are whisked away from the launch pad. And, while I'm not a fan of remakes, I do think this film is ripe for the remake treatment since Mars missions are currently being discussed and we actually have the technology now to believably fake a mission. A remake could also give a modern commentary on the public's current relationship with news media. Heck, they could cast Josh Brolin in the Brubaker role.
I saw this movie back then as a pre-teen and it took me almost another 30 year before I realized that this story is actually much more believable that the bs they've been pumping us with in the Media and Entertainment all my life.
More and more people are waking up every day :) Never call yourself "awake" though, that stops the process. As they say "when you think you are somebody, you stopped becoming somebody".
" A funny thing happened on the way to Mars."... Sam Waterson...classic.
This is a great movie; I remember seeing it in the theater, the year after Star Wars. _Hanger 18 (1980)_ is also a highly underrated gem.
Hanger 18 was a great movie.
The ending of C1 is deeply satifying, especially with the expression on Kelloway's face as Brubaker emerges from the car.
So glad you reviewed this! One of my favorite films, and that main theme score by Jerry Goldsmith is just stellar!!!
Capricorn One was one of those movies that had an enduring affect on my life. Dave summed it up in his review about believing the media. But for me it was more. Much more. It was about having to question so much before truly believing something that you are told to believe. A very good movie that reached cult status in its day. A bit like Cherry 2000.
As a kid I loved this film despite not really understanding it. I loved the scene where he thinks there are birds on the horizon and then realizes they are helicopters.
Point of interest- these people today say you need to see yourself on screen, yet OJ’s character was the one I always pretended to be.
Yep, when I was a kid I really wanted to be just like Axel Foley, despite looking nothing like him. I was also inspired by the bravery of Ellen Ripley and Ace in Doctor Who. Representation is good, but as a culture we've forgotten why. We should be teaching that you can be inspired by the actions of anyone, regardless of what they look like.
Where I grew up kids both Aboriginal and white all wanted to be a Japanese actor playing a Chinese monkey god.
@kdegraa "Monkey is funky, da da dah dah". Same in the UK
There was a Roy Scheider movie called Blue Thunder in the early '80's.
The media was the paragon of virtue there too
BTW.....loved those twin helicopter baddies too. Especially those very real machine gun pods that seem to not ever run out of ammo nor show any shell casings being ejected.....
In one shot you don't even see a hole on those pods and the light comming from the gun was obviously put on the film later because it is moving around, not staying on the middle of the pod.
This does not seem dated at all, in fact, if it feels like it’s ahead of its time in light of the recent Covid situation. Brilliant film! Thank you for reviewing it
Saw this at the movie theater when I was a kid, still a fantastic movie
The last part is pretty much what happened on 9/11
I just rewatched this a few weeks ago. I've been on a tear as of late rediscovering old movies, even musicals like Brigadoon. I miss the old days of movie making, Character driven and the grainy look of stories on film is really cool.
I've been watching alot of older movies too. Even with the glaringly low tech special effects they are much better movies. No forced narratives; well written dialog that sounds like the way real people talk. Hero's journeys and strong, multifaceted characters. I'd rather watch an old black & white film than almost anything from the past 5-10 years.
@loviatar9 Another thing I didn't realize until I started watching old/comparing to new movies was the scene length without 30 jump cuts. Modern movies jump like every 3 seconds....old movies have 1 stationary shot, minute of dialog.
The Andromeda Strain (1971) is well worth watching.
Just watched this the other night for the first time in many year's great film..
I absolutely LOVE this movie.
I re-watch every couple of years, it's just that brilliant.
I remember seeing this when I was 12 years old. My birthday is July 20th and up until that movie I never questioned the Moon landing which I celebrated as much as my own birthday. Until someone brings back clear evidence it happened, I'm pressing X to doubt. And it breaks my heart to do so.
Please don't. I know engineers with the qualifications to both plan and manage the execution of a moon landing. It happened ok? Maths and computers made it possible.
@@GudieveNing I was born in 1965, ok? I watched the first 'landing' in '69, and every one that was televised that I could after that growing up. So don't give me crap about it. It's just that in all this time those engineer buddies of yours haven't done squat to get us off this rock and into the cosmos like we should have been decades ago instead of turning into the universe's one-stop shop for everything queer.
@@sskiBecause people kept telling politicians "We need to spend that money on problems here on Earth!" and so there was no backing for NASA's big plans since "we won the Space Race".
@@sski "we haven't done it since" isn't really as strong of a talking-point as many seem to think.
I watched this randomly after clicking on the full film on UA-cam. Fully worth it. Films need to be more like this now adays
Just watched Westworld, co-starring James Brolin. In one scene, he gets bitten by a robot snake, in Capricorn One, he gets revenge by eating a real snake 🤣
Dave, I'm surprised you glossed over the "helicopters vs. crop-duster" dogfight sequence. It's one of the most amazing aerial sequences ever! One of the stunt pilots said that it was one of the most dangerous things ever filmed.
Totally! With Telly shouting keep your head down 😂
Ikr, one of the best parts!
It's a very good film. Peter Hyams is a very under-rated director. Running Scared is also a terrific action movie.
You should do “Wag the Dog”
100% agree!
I remember seeing this movie. I was 18 and actually worked in a television station! We were foolish enough to believe the news. We thought they were noble and altruistic. Silly us.
This was a great show for its time. It still holds up. Another 70s favorite of mine is "The Car."
I saw The Car recently and was surprised by how good it is. I was expecting some cheesy thing but it's a very effective little movie.
@@kevint1719 It's hard to believe it came out the same year as Star Wars. It's a fun movie.
“What evil force drives The Car?”
@@chaoticiannunez2419 It may have been possessed by Burt Reynolds.
@@kevint1719who's most famous car trip movie also came out in 1977.
Smokey and the Bandit is basically Star Wars on the highway.
Great retrospective again sir, this film is a gem. I’m often reminded of ‘The Parallax View’ when I watch ‘Capricorn One’ both are top notch examples of massive conspiracy thrillers. They’re both excellent.
Parallax View was a terrific film!
Also, the moon landing is fake.
I had never heard of this movie, but I will definitely check it out! Thanks!
Thanks for this video. It's the first time I learned about Capricorn One.
I first watched this movie as a ten year old boy, in the early eighties. It was one of the first movies in my young life that showed me that the world was not always a lovely place, and I remember, this film in particular, left a mark on me. I’ve revisited it many times. The last time when we were in lock down. I’ll go back to it tonight for a rewatch.
The exchange between eliott and telly when he tries to rent a plane is hilarious. I can practically quote it verbatim.
Btw, this is a very good film and I would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for the post, Dave!
Another great political/conspiracy thriller is The Parallax View (1974). The Parallax Corporation montage is still amazing today.
Dave, this came out at the PERFECT time. My dad just wanted to show me this film! Time to get ma tin foil hat and conspiracy glasses on 😎
Ty for the review and reccomendation brother!
Τhe chase between the cropduster plane and the helicopters is really breath-taking, one of the best scenes of this kind ever!
Good review. There really was a time when media, journos etc were generally trustworthy, at least to the point where they saw a wrong, they would pursue it. Now it's shirts and skins. Team journos.
And when would that have been? Can we even discern that? Or is it just something to tell oneself to calm one's own mind?
This is a underrated gem.
Saw this at the theater when it came out. I recall it being a pretty good movie.
Always appreciate the reviews! Especially the older/obscure films even I have not seen. Keep it up and we will keep watching
This film is absolutely brilliant! It's one of my favourites. Even watching it as a kid way back in the 80s I was hooked. Those helicopters are so sinister and other worldly and another character in the film. I love this film even now. I always see this film as a subtle way of saying the moon landing was fake too. Oh and the music!! Perfect. Why can't they make movies like this now 😢
The moon landing is not fake, thats the difference
@@echozgus like the video said... we only have TV, the media and the government to tell us that. The astronauts may well have been blackmailed or threatened too. If they were as dishonest and manipulating back then as they are now, well... lol
Ps the Mars surface in Capricorn One and the lunar surface in Diamonds Are Forever looked just as good as the 'real' thing!
@@echozgus The moon landing IS fake; try again, sheep. XD
In addition to the media being trusted in the '70s, remember that there was also no alternative news landscape because there was no Web, and the internet was limited to a few primitive chat rooms on University campuses. The biggest reason media is failing today is because we have the ability to reach beyond them for our news and obtain differing points of view. For all the harm social media has done to our society, it should never be forgotten the inadvertent good it's achieved as well.
Alternative news did exist back then. Mostly in leftwing circles, as the radical left was very conspiracy thinking minded and consumed alternative news as much as possible back then. Which is the great irony, that the left and right have completely swapped and that the people who call us conspiracy nutters used to grew up on that stuff. What has changes is how biased the mainstream media has become, how much they try to frame the public discourse and how brazen they have become about it. You watch old news from those days you notice how much more professional and neutral they sound compared to their current day counterparts.
The media (Colleges and Hollywood) hadn't been thoroughly corrupted at that point by the Marxist teachings of Columbia's Frankfurt School. Their teachings have influenced many who have gone on to influence many.
Also, the moon landing is fake.
This has been an underappreciated movie in my opinion, and I'm glad you mentioned the Goldsmith score, it's excellent, those booming, martial bass horns give a real edge to the main theme...
Thanks for reviewing this one! In the wake of Watergate, the latter half of the '70s was a time when the press would have loved to expose whatever they could, unlike today.
For another '70s conspiracy gem, I would recommend "The Parallax View".
Nah Watergate was just "them" throwing another guy under the bus for their own gain. Probably just because he called the Bohemian Club gay lol
"Nowadays, the story would be hushed up, and the event would be ignored by drowning it out with a contrived scandal about something else"
Like a "lost" sumbersible, or a Russian "coup" that lasted 3 hours.
Oh boy, the 70’s sure was the decade for thrillers
Another excellent review from Dave.
Thanks Dave.
l have an American friend who said "there is no way they could have faked the moon landings, too many people would need to be kept silent," all l said was "Capricorn one", "got me", he replied eventually.
the first 3 guys to "go where no man had gone before" where they survived the probably most dangerous exploration in human history, and at the news conference after? they are sitting there, not filled with elation, not pinging with excitement, but sitting there looking EMBARRESSED and ASHAMED, like they were children who had been caught out in mischief but don't want to say anything in case they implicated themselves.
I wouldn't saw "there is no way", maybe only after seeing all of the evidence. A lot of the talking-points that support the hoax claim just don't hold up. As for the conference, I suggest taking the 21 day post-mission quarantine into account.
In 1971's Diamonds are Forever, Bond stumbles into a moon vehicle test area complete with astronauts, and somebody yells "Hey What is This Amateur Night?!?" which was funny.... That's the earliest film I can think of that references the "moon landing conspiracy" idea, but Capricorn One takes it to a whole new level. At 6:08 yes, this is the era of "All the President's Men" so the public is ready for government conspiracies and hero journalists. I saw this movie on TV as a child, and one of the things I still remember was (SPOILER) as all of the astronauts are caught one by one except Brolin, it seems like they imply they are shot but don't show it, which made it feel more sinister. I also remember Gould's Mustang crash seemed unrealistic because it seemed like the brake failed then the accelerator failed then the ignition key fell out etc, and as a kid I was thinking "What a waste of a classic Mustang..." - Anyway great video!
The helipcoter and biplane chase at the end of the movie is the best bit of stunt flying in any movie, period. No CGI, it was all real, just ballsy flying, especially by Frank Tallman the pilot of the Stearman cropduster. Interestingly he was the pilot of the Beechcraft that flew through the Coca Cola billboard in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"
Great vid. Really liked the part about presstitutes in the media!
Think I remember how the pair of helicopters doing the hunting became sinister characters in themselves, turning to one another and nodding after each successful kill. Or maybe not, I was only a kid when I saw this.
They were definitely "talking" to each other turning "their head" to each other.
Hi Dave, I've been jumping in and out of your channel for a while now but it is this moment that you reviewed "capricorn one" that I felt I needed to say thank you for everything you do, I find your channel interesting and your views compelling so thank you. As a closing remark, I REALLY like "Capricorn One" considering it's age I feel it still stands today, Telly Sevalis is funny and the moment that Elliot Gould goes to explain to his editor what is going on is, for me one of the best delivered monologues, hilarious. Anyway, thanks again Dave.
As usual, thanks for the recommendations, I haven't watched some of these hidden gems you review or sometimes it just been too long since I've watched it.
Saw this in the theater when it came out. I'd forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder, Dave. Think I'll try to find it on streaming somewhere and watch.
Amusing how they tell the truth with these type of films.
Very exciting and watchable movie, (I re-watched it a few years ago).
The point you made about the mainstream media being trusted is an important part of the film 3 Days of the Condor with Robert Redford. A great film too, I was too young to understand Capricorn I when it came out, but I remember the ending.
I wish the Philip Caputo novel "DelCorso's Gallery" would be made into a film. It follows a photojournalist assigned to Vietnam and casts an unflinching eye on what he witnessed and how the press operated there.
The story finishes with him later ending up in Beirut in the 80s and a final showdown with a professional rival from the Nam assignment.
Capricorn One was one of those movies that came and went largely unnoticed. Home video wasn't a thing yet so there was no opportunity to find an audience there either. It's a shame because it's a damned entertaining film. James Brolin, Sam Waterston, and Elliott Gould all turned in excellent performances and Telly Savales steals the show in his scenes. Lots of suspense as well as nice character moments, it's just a really enjoyable film.
I think it must have been pretty cheap for networks to show, because I must have seen the thing half a dozen times on tv when I was a kid.
It went unnoticed because there was another movie about an adventure in space that came out in 1977 that sort of got all the attention...
@@VengerDFW This was more 3 Days of the Condor than Close Encounters, though
@@guyjperson Nope, not that movie... the other one... summer of 77.
Also, the moon landing is fake.
When I first saw it, it felt like a slap in the face, from our overlords.
Apollo Fraud.
Thank you for this. You know why.
Another great review by Dave!
My favorite part is when OJ got away with it and then was too stupid to live clean and ended up in prison anyway
Pretty underrated thriller and Telly Savalas described the future "media" pretty good in the movie : "Perverts! "
Greetings from Greece. 😜
Btw movie is on UA-cam just search for it.
One of my favourite 70's films. Nicely told, sir.
Thank you for reviewing this! I've always liked Capricorn One.
8:47... very plausible. The plane was flying around the desert looking for Brubaker. It was by luck in coming across the 2 sinister and suspicious looking military helicopters that led them to Brubaker. Telly Savalis' character said they'd been hanging around for a few days so Caulfield used initiative to follow them.
100% agree. Totally plausible--but the younger generation(s) need to nitpick everything to death.
maybe he was more referring to an old cropduster getting away from two modern military choppers not being very realistic, I don't know. Haven't seen that movie in a while so I can't remember how that scene unfolds.
@@im3phirebird81 he wasn't referring to that at all. It was about them finding the astronauts in the desert.
@@leethomas2155 oh
I liked this movie as a kid. It also has one of my favorite Goldsmith scores I still watch it from time to time. I did get a chance to see it in the theaters in the early 2000s
I never knew a film like this existed, thanks for this!
Thanks for the review, Dave. I remember C1 fondly from when it came out. Your point about the change in audience perspective vis-a-vis the news media is an excellent one. Thought-provoking video, Sir.
The hoax in this movie doesn't even come close to 2020
True and it's the same people behind both...
two killer comments right in succession xD
So this movie was based on all those "The Moon Landings were fake" conspiracy theories?
No it was the ones who faked the original moon landings having to tell the public what they were actually doing without telling them, hoping to absolve themselves fom negative karma. I swear these bohemian grove weirdos have some kind of brain rot.
A great film. Thank you for reminding me of it.
Wow. I’d never even heard of this! Thanks. Gonna add it to the ever growing list of never before seen classics.
Love this film. It's pretty clear this film is disclosure about the fake Moon landings and how it was done (directed by Stanley Kubrick by all accounts). Some of the Apollo astronauts were apparently unaware of everything until the very last moment just as shown in this film as well 🤔😳
No we landed on the moon
Yeah, only Stanley Kubrick was such a stickler for details that he insisted the Moon landings be filmed on location.
@@ChaoticYak1 The Moon we see is a holigraphic projection which is why we only see one side of it. If you want to see the real Moon put "Same "Rotating Object" On Multiple Web Cams" in the search box. The Death Star in Star Wars is disclosure on this artifical planet orbitting close by but not viewable with the naked eye.
Never heard of it. It sounds great. Peter Hyams seems to have directed many movies that I have liked. I am surprised I have not heard of this movie before.
As far as media being completely trusted there was the 1976 film Network with its infamous "I'm mad as Hell" scene. Although when the network tv crew were killed during the Jones Town massacre, that did cause the public to have some sympathy toward journalists.
I vaguely recall Capricorn airing on network tv. My dad was very interested in watching it. I was too young to get the drift of it. I only remember it being on, I just didn't watch it.
There's a cancelled TV show called Ascension (from SyFy) that's exactly that. I really liked it
One of the few movies without the tagline "Based on a true story" when it was based on a true story IMO. Lol
Thank you Dave.❤
A timely review. ;) Excellent as always
Nice to see this review. This is one of my favorite movies from my childhood.
