Trivia:
The three poems we see Lucy (Liv Tyler) compose while in Italy are: - 1. I have her secret deep within for years I've had to hide I've bought the clues And now I'm hope To bring the truth outside - 2. I wait I wait so patiently I'm as quiet as a cup I hope you'll come and rattle me Quick! Come wake me up. - 3. The dye is cast The dice are rolled I feel like shit you look like gold. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Liv is writing the last poem she writes, "The dye is cast". Shouldn't it be, "The die is cast"? moreSoundtrack:

When this filmed first came on the scene, there was a lot of critics that downed the intensity of this film... of course their favorite words were pseudoartistic crap. America is not ready for this film. Look at what we embrace in our films: blood, sex, nudity, shock value. America is not ready for a film that sees the attraction towards a 19 year-old as a natural thing. American normalcy sees this as wrong, deceitful, and impure. Bertolucci did not make a film, he reflected humanity through a camera. This film dives into our own psyche seeking the desires to be pure and innocent. Only America would see this as a piece of psycho sexual fantasy into our own pedophiliac desires. Watch it people, there's a substance that you're not used to seeing in everyday flicks.
