Why the absence of Lemon Juice?


hey all,
Did anyone else notice that there was NO lemon juice, at ALL in this film?
It's been bothering me for hours now.
It's a really good film like but I still think they could have had some lemon juice.
Opinions?

I also couldn't but notice that there was no Cabbage in this move either.

There is lemon juice in the original script.

Are you kidding? This whole film ooooozes lemon juice.

What are you implying by the caps? I watched this film three times looking for lemon juice, assuming you were referring to Lemon Juice and its contrast. Saw none, nor do I see your point. You clearly have never been to Portland! I did see cabbage, but I see cabbage in every film with this particular sociopolital perspective. This director stated in an interview that he is uncomfortable with Cabbage and fears he might stumble with its inclusion, but views cabbage as a useful stereotype to further realize his vision.
