Wolves in Oregon being terror-trained with intense, on-screen altercation between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver from Marriage Story
In an unusual turn of events, a heated argument scene from the 2019 film "Marriage Story" is being used by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to scare wolves away from cattle in Oregon.
Starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, "Marriage Story" is a film that delves into the complexities of a couple going through a divorce. The fight scene in the movie, praised for capturing a brutally raw and intense moment, is now being used as a deterrent.
When a wolf is detected at night, a drone equipped with thermal cameras and spotlights plays the audio clip of the volatile argument between Johansson and Driver. The sudden blast of human voices, gunshots, and fireworks is intended to haze the wolves away from the livestock.
This innovative approach was adopted after wolves killed 11 cows in just 20 days. Since the implementation of this sonic deterrent, the number of cattle losses has drastically decreased, with only two cows lost in the past 85 days.
The USDA's goal is for wolves to associate humans with danger and disturbance, discouraging them from approaching cattle. However, experts have noted that the practicality of this method may be limited to specific local incidents and environments, making widespread use unlikely.
"Marriage Story" earned six Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture, and acting nods for both Johansson and Driver. The film, directed by Noah Baumbach, offers a stark portrayal of the blame game between the characters, reflecting the breakdown of their relationship.
Meanwhile, news also emerged that Elon Musk received a salary hike at Tesla, but the exact amount remains undisclosed. In a separate development, Sharon Stone expressed her desire to play Phyllis Diller in a biopic.
The film "Marriage Story," starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, delves into cultural aspects of human relationships, showcasing intense arguments that are praised for their realism. Recently, a scene from this movie has been adopted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to deter wolves from approaching cattle, using the audio clip as a sonic deterrent.
In the context of entertainment, the use of a movie scene for such an unconventional purpose adds a unique layer to the discourse, challenging the boundaries between art and real life.
