Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the last name of Finn's character?

Answer: Bell

His full name was Finnegan Bell. His nickname was Finn and his sister was Maggie Bell. She was raising him at the beginning of the movie but we never did find out anything about where Mr. and Mrs. Bell were.
2. What were Finn and Estella doing when Ms. Dinsmoor said the phrase "Smile, smile, smile, smile. OK don't smile."

Answer: Dancing

This was near the beginning of the movie, before Finn moved to New York. As a young child he came once a week to Ms. Dinsmoor's home (age 10), where she taught Estella and Finn to dance. She seemed to feed off of them while they where dancing. In this particular scene she was trying to get them to smile while dancing, but both of their faces were without expression.
3. What real life painter created Finn's artwork in the movie?

Answer: Francesco Clement

Clement was well traveled and created watercolors wherever he went. According to his biography at the Guggenheim Museum website, he created 200 works for this movie.
4. What was the main clothing color portrayed in this movie, directed by Alfonso Cuaron?

Answer: Green

According to the "Great Expectations" web site, designer "Donna Karan (the queen of black), designed Gwyneth Paltrow's wardrobe all in shades of green". Also over one hundred extras where asked to dress in green and black. Alfonso had no real reason for the color he just really liked it.
5. Near the end of the movie, who did we find out paid Finn's way to becoming a famous painter?

Answer: Arthur Lustig

Arthur was the escaped prison inmate who Finn (at age ten) helped escape from the police that were looking for him. He only found out about Arthur's part in his success after his big show in New York. Lustig died in his arms on a subway in New York the very same night.
6. Finn called Joe uncle because he was his aunt's boyfriend?

Answer: False

His sister Maggie was raising him with her boyfriend Joe. She left both Finn (at age 10) and Joe early in the movie. Joe raised Finn after that without a complaint. He became a positive father figure to him.
7. What was the name of Ms. Nora Dinsmoor's home, that Finn visited as a child every Saturday (in English it means Paradise Lost)?

Answer: Paradiso Perduto

When Finn first saw Paradiso Perduto he was on a job with his Uncle Joe but Ms. Dinsmoor did not allow them to work and just slipped a check under the door. Finn looked around on the grounds and saw the remnants of the wedding that never took place because Ms. Dinsmoor's fiancé never showed up.

This garden is where Finn saw Estelle for the first time, when he was ten. When they got home that day Maggie informed them that Ms. Dinsmoor wanted Finn to come over on Saturday to play with her niece. Joe was confused because she never even saw either of them.
8. Who says "Let's say there was a little girl, and from the time she could understand, she was taught to fear... let's say she was taught to fear daylight. She was taught that it was her enemy, that it would hurt her. And then one sunny day, you ask her to go outside and play and she won't. You can't be angry at her can you?"

Answer: Estella

Finn "I knew that little girl and I saw the light in her eyes, and no matter what you say or do, that's still what I see."

Estella "We are who we are. People don't change."

Finn had just finished painting nude portraits of Estelle (her idea) in his New York apartment when she suddenly got up got dressed and left. Finn bolted out of the apartment after her, got in her cab and basically asked her why she continued to play with his emotions. This was a beautiful moment when we saw the emotion that was trapped in Estella emerge. As said in the ending, he really did know her.
9. Where did Arthur Lustig want Finn to travel with him, when they met up in New York after Finn's Gallery show?

Answer: Paris

Arthur was stabbed in the subway by one of his former colleagues and died in Finn's arms before he could even convince him to go. Finn ended up going to Paris with the tickets Arthur bought because he felt as an artist he should go and also because he wanted to spend time with the one person who showed him kindness.
10. Who did Finn think was his benefactor, when he first got the money?

Answer: Ms. Nora Dinsmoor

This was what drove him to prove himself worthy of Estella. He said "What were her plans for me (meaning Ms. Dinsmoor)? Why was she protecting and promoting me? What could her reasons be if not to make me equal with Estella?" He felt that Ms. Dinsmoor wanted him to prove his love to her by making them equal in social standings of society.
