With this new quiz, we invite you to climb inside nine elevators seen in movie scenes. Will you make it to the top floor with no mistakes?
For ordinary mortals, the elevator only has a simple and basic function: to go up or down a few floors to avoid taking the stairs. But in the cinema, you can do a lot of other things in the elevators.
We can kiss there, like Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes who extract themselves for a few moments from the gigantic party of Romeo + Juliet, to find themselves in intimacy and exchange their first kiss. You can also dance there, like when Valeria Golino invites a Dustin Hoffman suffering from autism and great shyness, for a short slow motion of a few floors, in Barry Levinson’s Rain Man.
The elevator can also turn out to be a place of action where we fight like in Captain America the Winter Soldier, or even a tragic place where we commit murders. This is what Eliot Ness and Jim Malone discover with great sadness in The Incorruptibles by Brian De Palma, when the doors open revealing the corpse of their friend Oscar Wallace.
And in a more original way, we can also, for example, play chess remotely as in Blade Runner when the replicant Roy Batty goes to visit its creator Eldon Tyrell, or even ride with his horse, as Arnold Schwarzenegger does during the scene. chase from True Lies.
Of course, you won’t find any of these scenes in this quiz, but fortunately there are still many examples in the cinema, and these are nine elevator images in films that you will have to recognize. It’s up to you, but watch out for the breakdown!
