But the myriad safety risks, high costs, and production obstacles associated with blocking dozens of shots using live rounds made filming an actual tracer shoot-out all but impossible. Writer-director David Ayer - whose artillery-heavy filmography includes Suicide Squad, End of Watch, and Netflix’s Bright - had been consumed with properly rendering tracer fire, those luminous bullets that help soldiers visually follow the flight of ammunition in battle, onscreen. The breakthrough came in a hail of gunfire on the 2013 Brad Pitt–starring World War II tank epic Fury. It’s good to see that tattoo got a reboot too here, literally on the lyric “white rabbit.Calls for bans on functional firearms have been made, but entertainment-industry consensus regarding the abolition of guns on set remains elusive. The first chapter of Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel is called “Down the Rabbit-Hole.” The White Rabbit appears on page one, just as he cameoed as a woman’s tattoo in the original The Matrix in 1999. Just like the song, which features hookah smoking caterpillars, Red Queens, White Knights, and some kind of mushroom. There’s gonna be a lot of Alice in this movie. The Matrix 4 trailer flashes on the cover of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It evokes stranger things in the first episode of Stranger Things, playing as Eleven flees a diner. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) wants to die in Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. When Charlie Sheen’s Chris Taylor takes his first hit of pot in Oliver Stone’s Platoon, “White Rabbit” brings him out of the battle zone.
“White Rabbit” is one of the defining songs of the counterculture. To this day, I don’t think most people realize the song was aimed at parents who drank and told their kids not to do drugs.” “I’d sing the words slowly and precisely, so the people who needed to hear them wouldn’t miss the point. “I always felt like a good-looking schoolteacher singing ‘White Rabbit,’” Slick said in the 2016 book Anatomy of a Song. “We are the people our parents warned us about,” Grace Slick promised audiences during shows. Slick joined Jefferson Airplane to replace Signe Toly Anderson, who left the band after the birth of her child One of Grace. “White Rabbit” was initially released while she was still in the San Francisco raga-folk band the Great Society. It was the group’s second hit single, along with “Somebody to Love,” which Slick had brought from her former band. The album got its name from the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, who gets a credit as “musical and spiritual advisor.” It was released as a single and peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100.
“White Rabbit” song was on most copies of Jefferson Airplane’s 1967 album, Surrealistic Pillow. This inspired the Spanish march feel of Ravel’s “Bolero,” which propels the music. Slick wrote it in late 1965 or early 1966, reportedly after listening to Miles Davis’ 1960 album, Sketches of Spain, for 24 hours straight during an acid trip. Dropped like a tab of acid during 1967’s Summer of Love, the song closed Jefferson Airplane’s set at Woodstock in 1969. Written by Grace Slick, “White Rabbit,” has been wresting reality from surrealistic pillows since it first came out.
