Does the term Dutch Angle come from the idea, that a camera man gathered some Dutch courage before shooting?
Well, the adjective Dutch is actually a mistranslation of Deutsch, which is German for German. And in the case of Dutch Courage, it refers to the Netherlands, but Dutch Angle on the other hand, seems to come from its use by German expressionists, was first used by a Ukrainian filmmaker and has absolutely nothing to do with Italy.
