Did anyone else notice the reel change indicators in the top right?
Totally fake - but a nice touch.
Back in the day, they used to cue the projectionist that he had to change over to the next reel of film in a few seconds.
I noticed it too. Fincher does the same thing in Fight Club. It's a nice touch, but a little pretentious.
shareIt happens only once in Fight Club, necessary to explain Tyler Durden's projectionist pranks. In Mank it happens several times to simulate an old movie being shown on multiple reels of film stock.
