France Wasn't Really France

France Wasn't Really France

Such was the dedication to truth and authenticity in this film, it's easy to assume that every location that's used in the movie was simply filmed in its real-life counterpart. However, that's not always possible. A lot has changed since World War II; especially places that were heavily damaged by bombing and gunfights. That's especially true in France, where heavy modernization and repair work was carried out after liberation. Because of that, it wasn't possible to film the French scenes in France; France just doesn't look like that anymore!

Instead, a specially-constructed shell town was built just outside of London, England, and filming took place there instead. That means every single one of the ruined buildings you see in those scenes has actually been uniquely created to look that way. It's convincing - and we imagine it was also very expensive!

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
