Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In Federico Fellini's "8 1/2" (1963), what are the people at the resort referring to when they discuss "The Cure"?

Answer: Mineral water

In the beginning of the movie, after the dream scene, Guido is standing in line for the mineral water when he fantasizes about a beautiful woman in white serving his mineral water.

2. In Akiro Kurosawa's "Rashomon" (1951), what type of weather was impeding the stranger from continuing on his journey, thus keeping him with the woodcutter and the priest?

Answer: Rain

Kurosawa uses brilliant techniques to show the characters in shelter through the rain.

3. How many times was Kane married in Orson Wells' "Citizen Kane" (1941)?

Answer: Twice

He and his first wife aged in the movie during a great time sequence. His second wife was just a trophy for him.

4. In Fred Zinneman's "High Noon" (1952), how many men came to kill Will Kane?

Answer: 4

One of the many men that Kane put in jail comes back to try to seek revenge, along with 3 of his friends.

5. In Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys" (1995), where are we first introduced to Brad Pitt's character?

Answer: Insane asylum

This is one of Brad Pitt's greatest performances, IMHO. He was nominated for the best supporting actor Oscar in this film.

Answer: Four

One from the thief, one from the woman, one from the dead man (through a medium), and one from the woodcutter.

Answer: The Green Destiny

The sword was stolen after Li Mu Bai gave it away.

8. In "8 1/2", what was Guido having built to be in his movie?

Answer: A spaceship

I am still not sure why the spaceships were a part of the movie. I guess that's why the movie was never made.

9. In "12 Monkeys", what animal does Bruce Willis' character encounter when he is sent out to survey the city?

Answer: A bear

He is surprised by the bear and barely gets away alive.

10. In "Citizen Kane", what is Kane playing with when his parents tell him that he is going away to the city with the stranger?

Answer: A sled

If anything, I hope this quiz intrigues you enough to see one of these movies, if you already have not.
