When i was a child, i believed autopilot really worked like in the movie Airplane, that it was an inflatable dummy.

    Not me, but I have heard that kids used to think ‘olden times’ were black & white, because all old films were before the introduction of colour. Like, it’s only in the last 80? years that people see in colour…

    It makes me giggle when modern movies use b&w to depict pre 21st century, or even ‘flashbacks’ are b&w

      Honestly I have to remind myself of this myself. Yes, these are images of events in (say) 1938. No, things weren’t actually black and white in 1938, people saw colors the same way, with the same sharpness, they do in 2024, it’s just photographic technology that has improved since then.
