    2:05 Bonus. When Charles passes the door someone else was opening it. He never touched the door. Another is notice how Nash was socially adept with his hallucinations while he was totally awkward with everyone else.
  • Really enjoyed this analysis! Never noticed the off camera audio before the reveal of each character. That's a nice touch.

    Another clue is when Nash screams at Partcher and then Saul comes in and asks what happened and there is nothing there is was the point where I started to think maybe its all in his head

    ''Wow, someone needed a hug" BTW this video deserves more views

    The second time we meet the niece, I was gonna say to my brother who was watching the movie for the second time, that the niece hadn’t grew up during a large time period. He started talking to Charles about the “problem” he’s in and I passed it off as the filmmakers not caring about characters Ageing.

    Also, another hint is when Charles showed how tall his niece is when he was talking with Nash in the library and then 5 years later, when Nash sees her for the first time, she's the same height.

    the pigeons omg that's a good detail
  • @calledmedarling
    this analysis is incredible, I never noticed any of these. I literally only noticed the pigeons after reading about it, and that was it.
  • you explained this in every way I understood, I just couldn't put it into words
  • @harryspooner
    This movie is one of my favourites and i have watched it multiple times without realising the things you have pointed out. Really good work
  • @mihikadeo
    You explained this in a way no other video I watched did. Excellent explanation.

    Two more I found - 1 : When John beckons loudly to Patcher following their rift, a puzzled Sol peers out of the door and curiously asks what the deal is as though he saw or heard nothing. 2 : Anyone noticed John is the only student at the university we spot Charles interacting with?
  • @GeorgiaAndrea
    7:27 I like the touch where even that guy at the side (a patient) was surprised at another patient's frantic (John).
  • @Archeo69

    Very good vid but you didn’t mention when parched appears on the steps there is no door swing or door sound just him popping out of thin air ! 3:12
  • The Harvard University scene was shot at Manhattan College in the Bronx, NY. I walked up those stairs many times.
