Directed by: Alan Parker
Starring: Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet, Laura Linney, Cleo King, Constance Jones
Factual error: At the end when Kate Winslet receives the Fed Ex box she opens it easily from the end. Fed Ex boxes have pull tabs that you pull to open, and if you decide you want to open the box at the end it is not as easy as she made it look.
Factual error: When David is reading the e-mail about his son's custody sent by his wife, the date reported on is Tuesday, 8 Oct 1994. However, that day was a Saturday. (00:48:39)
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.
