TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The contact lenses damaged Tim Robbins' eyes. An ophthalmologist has required on set for a few days to supervise because Robbins refused to take them off while shooting.

The story about a nurse named Cora that Josef tells to Hanna is a short-story named "La señorita Cora" by argentinean writer Julio Cortázar from his book "Todos los fuegos el fuego".

The oil rig used was the Borgholm Dolphin rig that was docked in Belfast at the time.

Even though they knew when they were cast that their characters had a homosexual romantic relationship, Isabel Coixet said that the actors were really reluctant to kiss when shooting the scene, so she had to filmed it the way you see in the movie.

Isabel Coixet wrote the role of Hannah with 'Sarah Polley' in mind.

Popular Dialogues

"Josef: I thought um, you and I, maybe we could go away somewhere. Together. One of these days. Today. Right now. Come with me. Hanna: No, I don't think that's going to be possible. Josef: Why not? Hanna: Um, because I think that if we go away to someplace together, I'm afraid that, ah, one day, maybe not today, maybe, maybe not tomorrow either, but one day suddenly, I may begin to cry and cry so very much that nothing or nobody can stop me and the tears will fill the room and I won't be able to breath and I will pull you down with me and we'll both drown. Josef: I'll learn how to swim, Hanna. I swear, I'll learn how to swim."

"Inge: Before the holocaust, Adolf Hitler called all of his collaborators together and in order to convince them that he could get away with his plan he asked them who remembers the extermination of the Armenians? That's what he said. Thirty years later nobody remembered the million Armenians exterminated in the cruelest possible way."
