Fatal Attraction (1987)
81 mistakes
Directed by: Adrian Lyne
Starring: Michael Douglas, Glenn Close, Anne Archer, Ellen Latzen
Dan Gallagher: Do you remember the girl, who came to the apartment?
Beth Gallagher: The one with the blond hair.
Trivia: The opera that Glenn Close buys the tickets for is Madame Butterfly. That is the song she is listening to when we see the first signs that she is losing it. Note: At the end of Madame Butterfly the heroine kills herself over a lover. In the director's cut of Fatal Attraction Glenn Close cuts her throat in the bathroom of Michael Douglas' house thereby killing herself over a lover.
Question: Why does Alex abduct Ellen and take her to a carnival?
Answer: Because she's unhinged! And she wants Dan to know that she can get to him, or in this case his daughter, anytime she wants. And she's angry that Dan had an affair with her then went back to his wife.
Answer: So her parents (especially her father) would go through hell, not knowing where she was or if she was safe.
