      Goof in new "Civil War" movie

      By tom_halfhill · Posted

      The recently released movie "Civil War" imagines a near-future armed conflict when a U.S. president refuses to leave office after his constitutionally limited second term. It's a violent and controversial film on which I won't comment here. However, I did chuckle at a photography-related goof in one scene. Two of the main characters are female photojournalists. One is a middle-aged veteran of many foreign conflicts, and the other is an ambitious young newcomer. The experienced photographer uses a modern digital camera. The young one shoots black-and-white film in a Nikon SLR (FA or FM2 I think) handed down from her father. In one scene, the young photographer develops her film while sitting outside in a sports stadium converted into a refugee camp. She says to her older colleague, "You want to know the secret to developing film?" She pulls a small plastic bottle out of her waistband. "Body temperature!" Then she pours the developer into a plastic daylight tank, agitates it by inversion a few times, puts it down, and says the film will be developed in ten minutes. I've developed hundreds of rolls of b&w film, but never have I used a developer whose optimum temperature was 98.6F (37C). That's 30F too hot! The characters are sitting outside in shirt-sleeves, so presumably the air temperature is much cooler than 98.6F if she needs to warm the developer. Indeed, the air temperature is probably near the developer's optimum temperature. Ten minutes of stand development at 98.6F would seriously overcook any film I've used. But maybe she's using a temperature-tolerant monodeveloper, because she doesn't seem to have any stop bath or fixer, either. Nor any water to wash the film. And though I've never used a plastic daylight tank -- I prefer stainless steel -- all the ones I've seen agitate by twiddling a center shaft, not by inversion. Anyhow, it's only Hollywood...
