It begins with the word "The" which should be translated as "Der". 123818 When Matt Damon steals the brief case and reads the memo listing the Nazi party members - the title of the memo is set in Arial which wasn't available as a font until 1982. Furthermore, the memo looks laser copied rather than typed. The fact that this is a closeup wiew makes this a rather obvious mistake. 119575 In the scene where the child who is Matt Damon's character is hiding in the closet before his father kills himself, the child is described as having put on his father's admiral's uniform. The collar insignia, however, is an eagle - the insignia of a navy captain. 122696 During the 25 years time span of the movie, all of the characters age noticeably except for Clover and Damon. He, miraculously, goes through his teens, 20s and up to his late 40s gaining just a couple of gray hairs and a few wrinkles around his mouth, plus the same young voice from the early days. 118105 On Deer Island during the dinner party before the two lead characters marry, Angelina's character is seen to be carrying a glass of white wine. The scene changes, and the wine is now red when she sets it down on the table.
