22_Shooter 1,560 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I was watching "Green Zone" last night and saw this. Does it mean anything? (BTW, I didn't find the movie very interesting. I actually fell asleep a few times and ended up just turning it off. Maybe I was too expectant of more action, and less conspiracy-theory BS.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thehopping1 105 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hmmm, that's cool. I wondered the same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dep714 10 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 The reason the flag seems to be reversed, or backwards is that traditionaly the blue field with the stars is closest to where the flag is attached to the flagpole.Consequently it gives the appearance of heading into the wind, or charging foward or always advancing.

bobsolla 7 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 i didn`t know that either;but flying a flag on a pole upside done means (under distress). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Also possible, if it's inconsistent, in a movie the image may have been reversed because the editor thought the shot looked better that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I've seen that with movie firearms too. Left handed AKs and such. I'm one of those guys that pays more attention to the firearms than the movie. My Fiance often turns to me and asks "do they really do that?". Gotta love the 3 foot ball of flame out of "silencers" too. Edited April 30, 2010 by Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulyski 2,227 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 The point where it's disrespectful is if it's hung on the pole, attached by the wrong (stripes) end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 dunno.. don't tend to watch movies about matt damon demonizing america... Can't take the guy seriously anymore after team america "MATT DAMONNNN!!!" Yeah, that's why I watched it online for free. Like I said, it turned out pretty shitty. I love watching movies, so when I fall asleep twice, it must be pretty bad. Perfect, thanks man. Very interesting. I know I had seen it before, but never bothered to find out what it meant.

Yeah, look at your local ambulances and fire trucks and you may see the same thing, all of our ambulances have the flag like that because we are responding to the scene as if we carried the flag foward ourselves Edited May 3, 2010 by Vultite Quote Link to post Share on other sites
