      About 43:00 minutes into the film, Lenora has been wearing the coat Aaron put around her. In the next shot (43:39), as she approaches the cemetery, she is no longer wearing the coat.

    Clear as a bell

    The Alchemist is a simple, enjoyable, elemental morality tale, easily understandable for those (few, I guess) people who understand humanity and what we do to ourselves and our own souls in the name of "justice." I'm surprised and saddened that so many people seem to have missed the point of the film. It's worth seeing.
