Gaffes

A mixing bowl that Sithe was using in the begining breaks when the ghost attacks for the last time. It's whole again in the scene where she is picking the ice towards the end.

The amount of lemonade in the glass while at the fairgrounds.

When Paul D first arrives and sits on the porch with Sethe, her braids are in front of her shoulders. In the full shot that comes immediately after Sethe's braids are behind her shoulders.

At the end, when Sethe walks toward Mr. Baldwin to attack him, Beloved is on the porch, screaming, but in the next shot, when Sethe is being held back by the crowd of women, Beloved is not on the porch in the background; then, after a shot of Mr. Baldwin, she's back on the porch again, screaming.

At 1:54'46": Sethe holds the ladle with one then suddenly two hands between shots.

In the scene with a deer in the field, a car is visible driving by in the upper right hand corner.

Beloved wears contact lenses.

When the camera is following Beloved out to the shed, you can the camera man's shoe for a second in the bottom right corner.

At 1:19': a flash lights the characters on the right of the screen, probably the reflection of the sun in a camera.

Sethe seems to not recognize Paul D but in the book it is clear that she recognizes him straight away (as "she could never mistake his face for another's") but still asks "Is that you?"

At 7': Paul D says "trampling" instead of "tramping".
