Corrected entry: When Murdoch is bitten by the childlike Stranger and is hanging out of the building, he leaps to the rising chimney. As he ascends on the chimney, the blood on his right hand disappears. (01:00:10)

Corrected entry: When Schreber goes with the Strangers to Tune the poor family into the rich family, the Strangers are carrying clothing to dress the family in. If their Tuning is able to change the physical construction of inanimate objects such as buildings, why would they not simply Tune the couple's clothes to something more fitting? Obviously it's not for lack of control - they Tune the table much longer very quickly without knocking over any of the objects on it.
Correction: We know nothing of their procedures. We don't see them actually dress the people, so they likely used their powers to put the clothes on them. They may simply choose to interact with the world at times, as with the man they place in the barber's chair.

Corrected entry: The spirals that appear constantly in the movie are Fibonacci spirals, drawn in a ratio that accords to the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,etc). This sequence represents the basic organizational principles of life.
Correction: The poster must have just made this up, as it's completely wrong. The spirals in the film don't look anything like Fibonacci Spirals (which I can best describe as an array of wide, interlocking arcs). The poster may have been thinking of the Golden Spiral, which also appears in many places in nature, but the spirals in the film don't really look anything like that, either.

Correction: The blood on his hand is visible throughout the shot. The only time you can't see it is when the shot is very far away, when you can't tell if it's there or not.
