10 Movies That Went Into Totally Unnecessary Detail
When movies go above, beyond, and totally insane.
Most of the time it's incredibly obvious when a filmmaker has put a ton of effort into a movie and when, well, they've just tossed it all off without much thought or care.
But every so often, a director and their dedicated crew might go far above and beyond what anyone watching could possibly expect to comprehend.
And that's absolutely true of these 10 movies, which feature details the audience couldn't ever appreciate, due to how effectively "invisible" they are on-screen.
While one doesn't want to shade directors for caring intently about the films they're making, in the case of these 10 projects they absolutely invested far more effort in things the audience wouldn't ever notice - or perhaps couldn't no matter how hard they tried.
From deliberating over the culinary content of individual characters' vomit (seriously), to rustling up Easter eggs not visible to viewers, to just flat-out doing everything the hard way for no real reason, these movies put an over-the-odds amount of effort into things nobody would actually dare appreciate.
And yet, it's tough not to respect the commitment to the bit...
10. Characters Had Individual Vomit - Triangle Of Sadness
The most memorable sequence from last year's Best Picture-nominated Triangle of Sadness sees the wealthy passengers of a luxury cruise suddenly become violently ill, likely due to a combination of food poisoning and choppy waters.
What follows is a gloriously over-the-top festival of puke, as the vessel's well-to-do guests upchuck en masse, with projectile vomit shooting from their mouths.
Director Ruben Östlund spent two years planning the mesmerisingly disgusting 15-minute sequence, where the many vomit-spewing actors were fitted with tubes to the sides of their faces so the crew could fire a puke-like substance from their mouths.
But production designer Josefin Åsberg didn't merely create a generic vat of vomit, she revealed that she had many conversations with Östlund about the colour and consistency of the regurgitated food, and also created bespoke puke for each character, depending on which food they were eating at the time - such as octopus and shrimp.
Given that audiences don't really get an opportunity to fixate on the precise culinary contents of the vomit - nor would they probably want to - it's certainly a case of the production team going the extra mile just for the hell of it.
