Corrected entry: Max would have died from hypothermia if he stayed in the filling pool that long. The water coming into the pool would have been very cold.

Directed by: Ridley Scott

Factual error: In the swimming pool scene from Max and Fanny's childhood, there is a modern inflatable plastic pool chair that would not have been available at that time. (01:42:40)
Uncle Henry Skinner: You'll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is, uh... how much more enjoyable it is to win. It's inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it.
Question: At the beginning of the film Fanny is at her cafe and stops to look at a Van Gogh print above the cash register. The print has Provence printed on it in yellow. At the end of the film she looks at the print but that time there is nothing printed at the bottom of print. What does this mean?
Answer: I think the Van Gogh is really part of his buy-out package from the brokerage. This is the copy which was hanging on the boss' wall, but not the original which the boss kept in the vault.

Correction: The time of year wouldn't have allowed the water to be all that cold. The water from the discharge pipes would likewise irrigate the vineyard and provide the water for indoor plumbing for the bathroom, kitchen etc. Also note that after the tennis game between Max and Francois how both were soaked in sweat.
