We’d bought several DVD’s but with our increasingly hectic to-do lists, we’ve been unable to watch them all. Last night we were finally able to watch Casanova. Just a light-hearted romantic comedy about a legendary character, but it had it’s moments of hilarity and suspense.
I’m definitely not mad for not seeing it in the theatres, but I’m glad to have watched it anyway, sort of thing. The story line becomes a little predicatable but I won’t hold it against anyone, since it’s very hard to find a unique story line these days.
I also found a list of some interesting movie “oops” moments pointed out by moviemistakes.com, some we noticed and some that escaped our scrutiny. Do not read, as it could be a spoiler if you still have plans on renting or buying this DVD.
Mistake #1 In the bedroom scene the bedding at the head of the bed slightly changes from one position to another and then back again.
Mistake #2 When we first see Francesca and her family in their house, in any wide shots showing Francesca’s brother, Giovanni, his mouth is not moving in sync with what he is saying.
Mistake #3 The tiny hot air balloon that Francesca released in the debate room would never be able to support Casanova’s weight.
Mistake #4 Francesca gives Guardi the note via the pig that “your services are no longer required,” yet it is stated later that Guardi can neither read nor write.
Mistake #5 The historical Casanova’s first name was Giovanni, not Giacomo. It may be that Giovanni Bruni, who, according to the movie, assumed the mantle of Casanova and later wrote down the many exploits of the legend, went down in history as Casanova, not Heath Ledger’s character.
