Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesHugh Jackman took etiquette lessons from 19th-century etiquette expert Jane Gibson (who trained actors for such projects as Sinn und Sinnlichkeit (1995)). He also studied ballroom dancing and trained to ride a horse for the film.
- PatzerAmong the people he admires, Leopold mentions "Edison with his lamp", Diesel, Bell, and Westinghouse. In 1876, when the movie takes place, Thomas A. Edison had just gotten his first interest in incandescent lamps, Rudolph Diesel was 18, and Alexander Graham Bell's telephone had just been patented. Although the Westinghouse Electric Company wasn't founded until 1886, George Westinghouse received his first patent in 1873.
- Zitate
Stuart: It is no more crazy than a dog finding a rainbow. Dogs are colourblind, Gretchen. They don't see colour. Just like we don't see time. We can feel it, we can feel it passing, but we can't see it. It's just like a blur. It's like we're riding in a supersonic train and the world is just blowing by, but imagine if we could stop that train, eh, Gretchen? Imagine if we could stop that train, get out, look around, and see time for what it really is? A universe, a world, a thing as unimaginable as colour to a dog, and as real, as tangible as that chair you're sitting in. Now if we could see it like that, really look at it, then maybe we could see the flaws as well as the form. And that's it; it's that simple. That's all I discovered. I'm just a... a guy who saw a crack in a chair that no one else could see. I'm that dog who saw a rainbow, only none of the other dogs believed me.
Gretchen: I believe you.
