The Changeling

Other mistake: When John first enters the attic room, it's a roughly 8ft by 8ft small space. Yet after he opens the music box, the camera pulls back and the area is suddenly much wider.

Suggested correction: I just rewound the scene several times. It sounds like she's saying "Just stop it!", not "George, stop it!" Her voice is crackling and screaming, so I can understand the misconception, though.

Suggested correction: This is a misconception. In the movie, Trish Van Devere did not accidentally call him George! Not true.

Mistakes

Visible crew/equipment: When John is playing the piano, after the door opens by itself in the music room, there is a shot that revolves around him. If you look in the large mirror in front of the piano you can see the pole of the boom microphone reflected (behind the chandelier). (00:19:21)

Quotes

John Russell: It's my understanding... that there are, uh... twenty-three students registered... for this series of lectures on advanced musical form. Now, we all know it's not raining outside, and unless there's a fire in some other part of the building that we don't know about, there's an awful lot of people here with nothing better to do.
