Factual error: Late in the film, we see both close-ups and wide shots of Sir Thomas Sharpe's "infernal machine" (a preposterously fictional clay-mining device) that is scooping bucket-after-bucket of oozing, bright-red goop from a horizontal trench. Problem is that the buckets come straight out of the ground and are conveyed by vertical chain up to a pulley mechanism at the apex of the machine, where the buckets then flip upside-down before descending back to the trench below. But nothing falls out of the buckets when they flip, the buckets are not dripping red with muck, and there is no hopper to collect the contents of the buckets, anyway. So, this massive prop is not mechanically correct nor practically functional, and it simply doesn't do anything. It's just eye candy.

Thomas Sharpe: I cannot leave you here. In fact, I find myself thinking about you even at the most inopportune moments of the day. I feel as if a link exists between your heart and mine, and should that link be broken, either by distance or by time, then my heart would cease to beat and I would die.
Trivia: Actress Jessica Chastain went through a full-body cast for this film for her role as Lucille.
Question: What's the deal with the puppy, and did it die in the end?
Answer: Just before the doctor was stabbed by Thomas Sharpe, his sister kills the dog she despises just off to the side and behind them-you can hear its final whimper.
