Continuity mistake: At various points throughout the movie, the position of the lamp on the end table (to Charlie's left where he usually sits on the couch) changes, from the base being in the back corner, to mid-way along the chair's arm, to being centered along the rear edge, to near the middle of the table, etc. As the lamp's position changes, the other objects on the table also change.

Suggested correction: "At various points throughout the movie" so he moved his lamp. If the shots aren't consecutive (screenshot, please) this is not a continuity error.

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie when Liz is talking to Charlie on the couch, tears stream down her face. They cut to his daughter coming into the room, and when they cut back to Liz, her face is dry - no tears. (01:46:20 - 01:46:48)

More quotes from The Whale

Trivia: Although he was nominated for the Golden Globe Best Actor in Drama (in The Whale), Brendan Fraser chose not to attend the Golden Globe Awards, as he alleges that in 2003 he was sexually assaulted by a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press, the body behind the Globes' nomination and voting processes. That incident, along with some health issues, largely derailed his acting career.
