Directed by: Alan Parker
Starring: Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet, Laura Linney, Cleo King, Constance Jones
Audio problem: When Constance informs David that he has been put on official "sabbatical" and unofficially released (as a professor), she adds vocally that the vote was "4-2". However, her lips do not move, and the exact vote turnout sounds distorted, because it was edited later.
Audio problem: When Bitsy and Zach arrive at the motel Zach gets out of the car and we hear his door close normally. When Bitsy gets out she visibly slams the door, yet there is no sound.
Continuity mistake: When Jamie tells David that he has something important to ask him, the quilt is pulled up to Jaime's chest, but when the camera angle changes to a close-up, the quilt is now pulled down to his stomach. (00:25:21)
Zack: 73% of all serial killers vote Republican.
Trivia: Bitsey and the intern are staying at the Randolph Motel. Randolph is the last name of the writer of the movie.
Question: What was the purpose of Berlin? What she planted to stage the rape? Or, was she really trying to get revenge? What did the postcard mean at the end of the movie in the money case?
Answer: I think David's wife was having an affair and wanted out of the marriage. She paid Berlin to seduce David and accuse him of rape.
Answer: We also think Berlin was hired by the wife. She has always said that it was not about the grades.

Answer: I believe that she was a plot device to make sure David Gale had nothing to lose by the end of the movie. She then may have felt guilty about casual sex, and tried to get back at Gale. She then later felt guilty about the whole charade, and wrote him a postcard admitting what she had done. Then the postcard is given to the ex-wife to show he was innocent of rape.

David had asked Bitsy and, presumably, Dusty, to preserve his son's memory of him. So they/he/she forwarded the postcard from Berlin so his ex would know he was innocent of the rape charge. Along with money for his son.
