The Reason Hal Missed His Daughter's Boat Trip -


Not that he was just drunk, he set the alarm clock, but it was DST and he got up an hour late.

woah and like in the beginning the guy asking him in the hotel what he thought of DST and he's like "i haven't really thought about it." funny all the twists and hints FFC throws in. the meaning i think is not so much as about how a movie maker can trick the audience, but rather, how we trick ourselves. *astute chin stroking pose*

So interesting! I missed that and had to rewind. (hate not having captions available. Seems like I always miss things)

When he mentioned th be incident I was ultimately confused, because it was insinuated that the problematic drinking started AFTER the death of his daughter.

That makes much more sense! This is why I heart IMDB. Thanks!

Excellent!

Great observation....

So, DST was the antagonist of this film? How did they managed to pitch this idea?
