Does anyone else find it weird when you watch an old movie from before the mass adoption of the internet (pic related and most of the old James Bond films do this too) and they spend a long time and a lot of shots on showing the location? Pic related has like 5 mins of Africa footage in the beginning. Zulu has all of those african dances. Old James Bond films like From Russia with Love and (thunderball?) have like the gypsy sequence or the parade scene where they just show off the exotic local Bond went to and what the locals are doing
That was the only way the hoi polloi learned about a foreign culture before youtube. I see the coldest city in Siberia and their culture that would otherwise remain a mystery.
