So firstly, this BTS isn't the K Pop group, but a short form of Behind the Scenes. This is the Twitter handle that goes by the rather clumsily long name Behind The Scenes Pics That Look Like Shitposts or @behind_pics. They deconstruct some iconic movie scenes. What you see on screen is obviously not reality, but what is it – they answer this question.
Keanu Reeves bending acrobatically backward to avoid bullets is one of cinema’s timeless, iconic shots. This tweet claimed to show how it was done.
Why decode something that is so iconic, said some of the tweeple – others had this and similar sarcastic responses.
Guys in green and planks? How prosaic!
Remember the device that erased memories in Men in Black? Like that.
Give credit where it is due, said this tweet. The real source is actually a music video from 2018.
This scene isn't from the Matrix but from the video of the song 1999 by Charli XCX & Troye Sivan from a few years ago.
One reply to the Behind the Scenes post shared this info – the secret behind Michael Jackson's incredible gravity-defying dance move. Apparently, it was thanks to some special shoes and some cleverly concealed stage devices.
The Behind the Scene Twitter handle shared this post as well – about Godzilla. Not so scary now, is it?
Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer is seen in this picture. This shows how a guy in green would be the stand-in for Groot so that the actor's line of sight would be accurate.
If one is a Star Wars fan, this would almost be heartbreaking – no one needs this level of demystification. The Behind the Scenes Twitter handle has almost one lakh followers and the misquoted Matrix post has over two lakh likes – clearly a lot of people like to know the reality behind the cleverly crafted illusions.
