In fairness the brits have long done the same.
Churchill on the tube having a friendly chat wíth a mixed race bunch which then steeled him to go on and win the war?
I generally avoid any history based film.

Why do we have 'headlights' (one word), yet 'rear lights' (two words)?🤔

or 'taillight', so 'head and tail', or 'front and rear' to be consistent.
It doesn’t reverse top and bottom, It doesn’t reverse left and right.
It reverses front and back.

It's not just Vikings. The Ku Klux Klan didn't wear white robes of burn crosses until D.W. Griffith's film 'The Birth of a Nation' came out.

White robe fans can catch up with these folks in Iglesias Sardina every (normal) easter.
I've been - something between spooky and caspar.
Just three of them here but there are lots of them.

When such as Roman emperors had food testers to test their food......obviously,how long did the emperor wait to see if it was safe to eat or not? My thoughts are that if the tester didn't drop dead there and then,the emperor would then eat the food,but didn't they think that a slow working poison might've been added to the food?🤔

Because it reverses front and back. If it didn’t, you’d be able to see the back of your head with one.....

Why, in the age where you could leave your front door open without fear, did all the wardrobes have locks on ?
