      The gif is from Kevin Smith’s Mallrats (1995) of the Jay and Silent Bob series. Throughout the whole movie, the character in the middle stands at a kitsch art kiosk and stares at a printing of what looks like TV static. Every other character in the movie claims that they can see a sailboat. The character in the middle grows increasingly frustrated that he’s the only one who can’t see it.

      The audience never sees the sailboat either. The optical illusion is fake. The printing is only static.
