Directed by: Anthony Minghella
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, Renée Zellweger, Eileen Atkins
Factual error: In the scene where Inman is helping build the church he is handed modern pre-cut lumber. This product was not introduced until the middle of the 20th century.
Ada: I brought you this book... and this photo. I'm not smiling in it. I don't know how to do that... hold a smile.
Question: What does Ada say to her daughter at the table at the end of the film?
Answer: I don't know the exact words, but she says something like, "No one told you to eat yet, Miss Inman." This was probably just to let the audience know for sure that she was Inman's daughter from their one night together.
