I totally forgot about this illusion. I've noticed it right away when I was watching the movie (well on big screen it's not too hard to spot it )

In the scene of the Oliver Stone movie "Alexander", when Alexander and his army got to the mountains that were blocking his progress towards the east, there is a quick snapshot of the mountain (over Alexanders right shoulder EDIT: or so I remember, I haven't seen the movie in years) with the following optical illusion!

Nice one Oliver!

I couldn't find a video of it

Hi andro, can you please explain the illusion? I see something (like an animal face) in the mountains, but I'm not sure if I'm just looking too hard...

I can definitly see a clear nose, mouth and an eye that appears closed. that is cool.

COOL!

At first, I couldn't see anything, but after a while...WOW there was a face. (the bright part is an eye)

So keep looking, and you will find it.

Ok, now I saw it... Thanks IDNE, I was looking at a small thing on a mountain side, not the whole FACE!!!

Cool one andro!

Cool one andro!

It's a neat special effect the movie blows though

Spotting this mountain-face optical illusion and Colin Farrell's potato were the only two things that were interesting in that movie

Another interesting thing is that when I've watched the movie for the second time (yeah I've seen that gibberish twice ) I didn't see the mountain-face illusion. I knew it was there and I was focusing too hard to see it again, and that was probably the reason I missed it...

[Guest]

ik how they do that! (his face is reflected in glass as he looks out at the mountain) (right?)

btw, GREAT illusioun, andro!!

[Guest]

Its so cool - his face is in the mountain! I wonder how they can do that??!??

Look at the lips and the nose. I am amazed on how reality are they.

Awesome!

I completely agree

I hope that all of you read my original post. It was probably Oliver Stone's idea (director of the movie "Alexander"). It's not a reflection, but only a special effect. If it was real it would have been famous!
