As 'Saving Private Ryan' was being made, times were changing in Hollywood. New technologies were making both the recording and editing processes more sophisticated, and the analogue age was giving away to the digital age. The internet had been born, and the world would never look back. Spielberg would go on to make plenty of films using these new technologies, but not until after his passion project was complete.
All of the editing on 'Saving Private Ryan' was done on a non-digital system. In real terms, that means it was done manually, with tape reels being cut and then glued back together to complete the edit. It's an intensive work of labor that seems almost unthinkable today, when you can just highlight the parts you don't want and select 'cut'. Some more films were made using old school methods after 'Saving Private Ryan'; and the occasional one is still made today as a curiosity; but this was the last movie made using the old-school method to win an Oscar.
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.
