1:25:03
of the tree of life
being the tree of leopards.
1:25:09
This is a real leopard, that's why
Malcolm's not getting too close,
1:25:14
and there may be an outtake
somewhere else on the DVD,
1:25:21
but that had been
that surreal leopard painting
1:25:25
in which Nastassia's mother
was actually playing her real mother.
1:25:36
Here's what they call a scène à faire,
1:25:39
which is some sort of obligatory scene.
1:25:42
There's always a scene...
1:25:44
Here again is a mysterious figure,
which means nothing.
1:25:49
Or everything.
1:25:52
An obligatory scene in a movie like this
1:25:54
where the girl gets chased
by the mysterious object
1:25:58
and the mysterious object
is then revealed to be a harmless object,
1:26:02
in this case the dog.
1:26:07
We're in Audubon Park
in New Orleans for this.
1:26:19
Again, references to antiquity.
1:26:38
This shot right here
1:26:41
comes from the original Cat People,
1:26:44
where there is a similar
sort of shock effect
1:26:49
of the noise of a streetcar,
meant to scare you.
1:26:54
And the following scene in the pool
was also in the original.
