    Wait, maybe I’m not up to speed on the details here. But are you not pointing guns with blanks at people in movies…?

    It’s not the entire point of Cinema in that you are simulating, faking, an actual interaction?

      It’s not uncommon to point ‘off target’ in a way that is undetectable from the camera angle. Kind of like how none of the people in the action movies actually get punched.

        Most if the time they do this so well you never notice and it’s believable. But sometimes, they fuck up, and its so blatant. I always get a chuckle when that happens.
