Inspired by heat.
Baby, it's hot out there.
And then -- there are other films, certainly, which feature hot weather to the point that their story would be impossible to tell without heat being a part of it.
What springs to mind are two famous David Lean films, both built around the subject of punishing temps.
(Sort-of making any other heat-related film look really whiny in comparison.)
Trailer to Bridge Over River Kwai, (1957)
And, also, incase you think they only make films inspired by humidity and heat -- there's also Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Makes me sooo much cooler just watching these.
It's relentlessly hot.
It's the kind of hot that makes people snap, (more on that later) but, right now I'm exploring how others have creatively incorporated this kind of environmental phenomenon into their work.
For instance, in the film "Body Heat," back in 1981, the heat was almost a third character in Matty's already crowded love-triangle.
-- And so, to salute the our ability to creatively flip a hindrance into something else, something more interesting than just being cranky and sweaty, I'm posting the trailer to the film "Body Heat."
By the way, I should mention that at the time, the film not only entirely lived up to trailer's hype; it transcended it.
