Leave the World Behind, one of the Netflix hit films released in December 2023, has come into discussion again these days, and its reason is the boat scene shown in the film.
The movie is the adaptation of the 2020 Best-Selling novel of the same name by Rumaan Alam.
A recent news report reported that a container ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, at approximately 1:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Tuesday.
The Crew members on the ship informed authorities that there was a power outage just before the ship capsized.
And now after the news of this accident, social media users started drawing comparisons between the incident and a scene from the 2023 film ‘Leave the World Behind’.
For your information, former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have acted as executive producers in the apocalyptic thriller “Leave the World Behind.”
In a particular scene of the Netflix thriller film ‘Leave the World Behind,’ a cargo ship loses power and crashes on the beach, and this is the scene citizens started comparing to the Baltimore crash.
Recently a website called Straightdope, where you can comment on a column or submit a question or topic for a future column. Some people have submitted their opinions about the boat scene from Leave the World Behind film.
This question was asked on this site that:-
“Is the ship scene in “Leave The World Behind” realistic?”
To which a grammarian replied:-
I would have guessed the ship would hit ground long before it did.
I did check out some videos of this happening IRL but those are at ports where the sea bottom is going to be deep enough for the ships. (I can say one thing from those videos, the ship should have been blowing it’s horn).
