I've watched this film multiple times. It's great! I was just wondering if someone could tell me what the things on the table are in the scene where Vivian's son is hungry, and says he doesn't want any more? I'm going to presume that they are natural drugs of some sort... Like shrooms? I see some berries and other plants I think.
Thanks!
It looked to me like it was leftover toast corners with caviar on them, and maybe some figs. The characters used cocaine and alcohol, but I don't think anything more "natural." I think the idea was that the food was fancy and over-the-top and not something a small child would enjoy.
shareAgreed.
When there are two, one betrays-Jean-Pierre Melville
It looked like old pieces of candy to me.
shareAs I am watching the film right now and enjoying the hell out of it, I freeze-framed the picture of the object in question in this thread.
It is the remains of an orderve tray, in keeping with the party girl life that Vivian has seemingly chosen at this point in the film.
I see caviar on toast, deviled eggs, tomatoes, olives, celery, parsley, and orange slices.
Hope this helps...

No, it wasn't a tray of drugs; it was just a ravaged tray of snacks, like some half-eaten deviled eggs and bits of fruit. Not very appetizing, ne? I can see how any kid would prefer bread and milk over that!
shareI noticed you misspelled word "orderve", but I had to look up the right way (which is Hors d'oeuvres.)
I infinitely prefer your spelling which is clear and logical. What good is a word nobody can spell and that has at least 6 unnecessary letters!
... Dear god, don't ever try to learn languages.
Hors d'oeuvres is a french expression, and we sure do like our unnecessary letters.
I leaned on the wall - the wall leaned away.
The spelling would make a lot more sense if it were pronounced as intended...
Where's your crew?
On the 3rd planet.
There IS no 3rd planet!
Don't you think I know that?
Haha. Better tell the French that they're doing it wrong!
We don't pronounce the letter 'h'...or 's', most of the time...

When I was a child I was already a reader of literary works. One time after an adult party I asked my mom if I could have the leftover "whores devores." She laughed so hard that she snorted.
"Wow. Our town has only had a Whole Foods for three weeks and we already have our first gay kids."
Very old, very interesting argument - and probably not one that will ever be fully solved, except passively as language evolves.

Some linguists see text-speak as being a decisive factor over time in this.

Nothing to see here, move along.
The things on the tray were party food. Little nibbles like deviled eggs and caviar on toast. How can a 5 year old live on that? What was his mother thinking? Oh yeah, she wasn't. Ms. "I'm bored with my life as a rich man's wife" was zonked out on coke or other drugs.
No two persons ever watch the same movie.share
