Come on let's get back in the water.. ito am72

not complainin' when in the lineup.

A lot of it was staged. The taxi driver for example, wasn't a real one. They paid a real taxi driver and borrowed his cab for a short while. Also when his bike broke down, in reality lots of people kept stoping and offering to help so they had to keep telling them to go away. A bit pointless to do this in that way in my opinion.

@@floydpitt7590 How did you find these things out?

@@gleaningthescriptures5897 It's pretty obvious really; for eg in the film Rob throws his mobile phone down on the ground. Apart from the fact no surfer (especially Rob) would litter like this, the camera films it ringing later on and when he's 'alone' in his tent he's still being filmed- it's pretty much all all 'Hollywood smoke and mirrors' unfortunately. Also there is an interview with Rob where he himself says this. Can't remember which one it is at the moment. I'll find it and send it to you.

@@gleaningthescriptures5897 Apologies. It was a written interview he did. The interviewer says - ''I have so many favourite scenes: the taxi ride, for one, when the driver scrapes green from his nose with a long nail, then willfully inspects it. That stuff was absolutely incredible''. Rob replies- ''He used to be D.Hump’s assistant, First. We threw him in a shirt, grabbed some guy’s taxi, paid him off, we both had mics, and then we just started driving around the block with the camera mounted on the hood. He killed it. There were moments when I just started laughing, like, dude, stop it already! You’re killing me, man!It’s so Indonesian how he scrapes the green and then inspects it, without fear of censure, without embarrassment.(Laughs) Totally! He totally fit the whole mould. He jumped in there, pulled out his little ciggies, his cloves, and he was lighting em off, he became a taxi driver! “Hey, where you from? You like massage, good massage!” And, when you say, “Put the air con on, man,” and he replies: “Fucking hot!” Fucking hot! ''I know! They have the ability to say, “Oh yeah, there was a bombing right here five years ago, but it’s cool, we’ve moved on, here we go.” It’s an amazing attribute and you have to hand it to em. A lot of the times, we’d be filming stuff, I’d be pushing my motorcycle in the rice fields, and constantly people would stop, the Balinese, to try and help fix my bike. I’d be, like, no , no it’s okay, and I’d try to explain that we were making a movie that there’s guys over there with long lenses. They’d say, no, no, no and try and push my bike with me. Even if it was obvious they were in a hurry to get somewhere it was irrelevant. They live in the moment. “Wait, we gotta help this guy! He’s here! It’s now!” That’s the beauty of the Indonesian''.

@@floydpitt7590 Thanks floyd. I figured that was how. Another thing that is beyond my figuring is the scenes where Rob is getting off the bus: do they have a guy there with a camera waiting at the stop? Do they ask the bus driver, once they get to the sto, to back up and do the stop again after the filmer gets off? And the helping out at the town. Was that something they happened across, or pre-planned that they would help out at that town? Those are the things I was wondering about.

Kelly was always good at slalom surfing. He can do it all.
