The Forgiven

Trivia: Leila, talking to Tom about Driss being hit and killed by David's car, said, "I heard one of the boys saying his legs were pulped. The dead man. They didn't just hit him. They ran over him. Maybe more than once. What do you call it in your country? They have a word for it?" Tom, probably being facetious, replied, "Roadkill." "Roadkill" typically only refers to animals. (00:24:29)

Trivia: Although Driss apparently stepped out in front of David's car and got killed (in the desert), it is ironic that "Moroccan drivers don't give way to pedestrians" [according to Mowgli-Adventures.com, "Driving in Morocco", Nov. 5, 2021]. (00:07:44)

Deliberate mistake: David and Jo, each wearing sunglasses, are riding in the boat. When David says, "L'Afrique", buildings along the upcoming shore are reflected in his sunglasses. The camera shifts to Jo, also facing the shore, and buildings with more lights are reflected in her sunglasses. The camera then shifts to a rear view of David and Jo and it is obvious that what was reflected in their sunglasses was not possible. (00:01:40)
