So we were watching "The Iron Giant" movie in my History 9 Honors class the other day. I happened to spot one of the generals in a army base wearing a pair of K1000's. Can you believe that? I really wished I had that movie to get the frame where it is. If anyone has it, watch it and look for them. Record that spot and grap the screenshot of them.

That movie is soo sad

It makes me cry like a bitch every time I watch it. And I know what you're talking about. it's in the scene inside the submarine. I remember thinking the same thing when I watched it recently.

If the submarine sonographer uses the k1k for acoustic placement and movement, that says something about the soundstage and transparency of the headphones

If you want to cry, try watching "Life Is Beautiful". I watched it in class and man, I usually hold up pretty strong, but I almost completely lost it there.

Just to make sure I'm on the same page here, you guys are talking about this movie:

??? In a history 9 honors class?

Wouldn't the interior of a submarine be quite noisy with all the equipment and humming?

 

[Zaroff]

For sad, you should watch "Grave of the fireflies", another animated film...
It makes "The iron giant" feel like a Mel Brooks movie.

Sorry for the OT

The only real sad thing is that you guys think a cartoon is sad. Try watching Black Hawk Down, We Were Soilders, etc.

There's nothing wrong with being emotionally moved by an animated feature. I've been brought to tears several times by some of the better anime that I have seen.

Well in an animated movie, I'm sure it's dead silent

As for real life, I would think it would have to depend on the era. Today, nuclear submarines are very quiet: they have to be to not be detected by sonar. But usually when you see photos of sonar operators, they have sealed headphones so that they can listen with isolation. A WWII diesel submarine would be quite noisier since it's smaller and has a combustion engine. But by then, destroyers had sonar equipment, and would "listen" for enemy submarines: submarines have had to run silent for quite some time now. Das Boot (German, "The Boat") is the best submarine movie ever made IMO.

Here's a couple of screen shots for those who haven't seen “The Iron Giant”:

Close, but not quite the K1K.

Wow, they look a lot like the K1000s (except they seem to be circumaural).

 

[Jasper994]

The K1000 is also in the movie "In the Mix" for a pretty long scene.

 

[exX08]

Thanks for getting that.

I wonder if they did that on purpose to make them look like them or if it was a pure accident? Probably purpose, it's pretty hard to think up that design.
