More Locations

A year and a half ago I posted how I recognised the location of this shot in Ronin.

I mentioned how I suspected a favorite film had also used the location, I can now confirm it: Goldeneye.
Goldeneye
I didn’t have it on DVD before, but since I’ve just been teaching projectiles to the year 13s I needed to get a copy… Like Ronin, it is filmed around Thorenc and Greolieres (there’s a shot of the latter); here’s the picture I snapped back then at the same location:

Also like Ronin, it takes liberties with the editing but worse than implying it’s a few seconds’ drive from Vieux Nice, it’s now behind Monaco!

    “…Teaching projectiles to the year 13s…” Is that British slang for something?

    Year 13s, formerly the Upper Sixth, are seventeen year olds in what was traditionally the second year of A level (now A2). Projectiles is an applied maths topic – oh, sorry, let me translate: applied math topic – at the start of the Mechanics 2 unit. I find Goldeneye is invaluable for introducing this topic, whereas for centres of mass, which we start tomorrow, The Italian Job is far more appropriate.
