Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who plays Arthur Lustig, the convict?

Answer: Robert deNiro

Arthur Lustig is a convict on the run, who meets ten-year-old Finn and forces the boy to help him.

2. Why has Mrs. Dinsmore gone mad?

Answer: Her fiancé left her right before the wedding

That is why she taught Estella that love is a dangerous and painful thing, and should be avoided if at all possible.

3. By the time of the epilogue of the movie, how many years have passed since Finn and Estella have last seen each other?

Answer: 10 years

Finn mentions it in his voice-over lines. He has not seen Estella for ten years, and then one day he returns to "Paradiso Perduto" and encounters Estella and her little daughter. She tells him she's divorced. It seems as if they finally manage to get together.

4. Complete this Finn quote: "It was just my _______ of it."

Answer: memory

This refers to Finn's words in the beginning of the movie. He says he is going to tell the story not the way it happened, but the way he remembers it.

5. What does "Paradiso Perduto" mean?

Answer: Paradise Lost

The old house looks abandoned; parts of it are even caved in, and the huge garden looks almost like a jungle. Yet the area has some touch of magic - almost like a "lost paradise."

6. Which singer recorded the aria "I Saw No Shadow Of Another Parting" for the soundtrack?

Answer: Kiri Te Kanawa

In the movie, a different version of the aria is played. A soprano sings it during Finn's vernissage. The lyrics are actually the last few lines in Dickens' novel.

7. Who performed the song "Here Comes Succes"?

Answer: Iggy Pop

"Iggster's" song is played when Finn stands on the rooftop with his bottle of champagne, thinking he finally made it.

8. What is the name of Finn's sister?

Answer: Maggie

She disappears one night and never returns. She was married to Joe, whom Finn keeps calling "uncle," although he's actually his brother-in-law.

9. Who supported Finn all the time?

Answer: Arthur Lustig

Lustig helped the only person who ever helped him. He dies on the subway the night Finn finds out about his benefactor.

10. What does "Ragno" mean?

Answer: spider

Jerry Ragno is Finn's lawyer. Mrs. Dinnsmore tells FInn that "ragno" means "spider" in Italian. Finn then calls his lawyer "Spider-Man".
