TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In the film, Amy (played by Anna Paquin) was raised in New Zealand and then moved to Canada after her mother's death. In real life, Anna Paquin was born in Canada and raised in New Zealand.

Amy's fake nose ring was Anna Paquin's attempt at being humorously rebellious, to see what the crew would say if she had pierced her nose mid-shoot. She found the fake ring in a 'neat junky jewelry store' in Toronto, and got it for free. To her disappointment, her attempt at being rebellious was well-received, as Carroll Ballard decided to use the nose-ring gag in the film as well.

Based on the true story of William Lishman's and Joseph Duff's experiments on migrating birds. Lishman and Duff provided actual "imprinted" birds for the making of the film, as well as the actual aircraft used.

Nine years after they played father and daughter in Fly Away Home (1996), Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin filmed a sex scene together for The Squid and the Whale (2005). Daniels said in interview at the time that the way they coped with filming the sex scene was by trying "not to think about...you know, geese."

Release of the film was delayed after a seven-year-old girl, Jessica Dubroff, was killed at the controls of a small plane that crashed amidst a much-publicized transcontinental flight attempt, along with her father and flight instructor.

Popular Dialogues

"Amy Alden: Mama to Papa. That was so cool! Thomas Alden: Yeah, great. I just made a criminal out of my own daughter. Now we'll both do time behind bars. Amy Alden: Dad, stop being so dramatic. Thomas Alden: Now, look, this is just the beginning, Amy. We've got to make 120 nautical miles by sundown, fly across Lake Ontario, cross an international boundary without a permit carrying stolen goods, without filing a flight plan, without any official approval, four days behind schedule. We're on the edge, my dear."

"Amy Alden: [Just after Barry and Tom have accidentally seen her after her shower] HE'S SO WEIRD! Susan Barnes: You're right. He is. Amy Alden: Who was that guy? Susan Barnes: Oh, he's just a guy, and he didn't see you. Amy Alden: He did. And why did he bring that guy to CHOP THEIR WINGS OFF? Susan Barnes: You're father didn't know he was going to do that. Nobody knew he was going to do that. [pause] Susan Barnes: Amy, listen to me. I know I can never replace your mother. No one can. But if you let me, I can be your friend. And the first rule about friends is they have to trust each other, right? I promise you, nothing is going to happen to those geese. I won't let it and neither will your dad. Amy Alden: [cries]"
