Continuity mistake: The first time they rehearse the scene with the dwarf, the bride and the dream. When the director is talking to the actors, they have a close up of the dwarf's head. The dwarf is tiny and in the close up of his face, he is facing forward. When they change to a long shot of them all, he is facing up. Why would the dwarf be facing forward anyway, when to get eye contact he would have to face up?
Living in Oblivion (1995)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tom DiCillo
Starring: Steve Buscemi, Catherine Keener, Dermot Mulroney, Danielle von Zerneck
The old lady who was Nicole's mother in the movie scene (at the beginning) is Nick's mother. Tito gets fed up and leaves the set. Nick's mom replaces Tito in the dream sequence and Wolf records the scene hand held just like he wanted instead of recording with the camera on a tripod. Nick decides to use the scene with his mom and the filming of his movie ends. The sound guy asks everyone to be quiet and records 30 seconds of room tone. During those 30 seconds, Nick daydreams about winning an award, Wolf daydreams that Wanda begs Wolf for the two of them to get back together, Nicole daydreams about working as a waitress, Nick's mom daydreams about walking through a wall, Wanda daydreams about having sex with Chad and the guy who messed up the fog machine (and wanted Chad to read his script) daydreams about eating a hamburger.
