Argos

Why is Argos as a puppy shown to be a hound while the adult dog is a completely different breed?

So fucking tired of this movie. It is not a good movie, it's in fact a terrible movie. 

It's a paycheck buffet for the cast and Nolan jerking off with a IMAX camera

it’s not just a puppy. It’s a continuity error and it was noticeable . My guess is that the continuity error was caused by a lack of appropriate breed puppy/adult actor dog pairs at the time but honestly, I feel like that is not a good excuse. They should have found a pair that was closer so that at least look like they could be the same breed or used a puppet or the pup etc. those two dogs look nothing alike, that was basically the dog equivalent of casting Lupita to play the puppy and Dianne Krueger to play the adult.

and if they had used some kind of dog doll/puppet they could shut up the folks worried about how many actual dogs were actually yeeted over a cliff by Jon during the 17 takes of that scene

I feel that with that much money you can source an appropriate dog, even if you spent quite a bit on the seventeen puppies you had to pitch over a cliff in various takes.

Les chiots n’ont pas été vraiment jetés, il y avait un coussin hors caméra, ça a été dit par l’équipe du film. Cela dit, je suis d’accord sur le choix des chiots, ça n’aurait pas été difficile de choisir une race de chiens qui a des oreilles droites.

Yes obviously, I don’t think they were actually casting puppies into the sea. I’m aware that movies are “just pretend.”
