In Reply to: Really. I'll bet over 50% of the people watching were confused by that scene's placement. Really. posted by Duilawyer on April 18, 2008 at 07:05:23:
This is a scene from the past, when the couple went to Rio a few years earlier. Hence, it is the oldest event and it comes first. But, it really does not fit in with the rest of the picture which is centered around just a few days before, and a week after the robbery. It's purpose appears, to me anyway, as a way to justify the title. In this unremittingly bleak film, the idea that one may spend a half hour in heaven "before the devil knows you are dead" cannot really be expressed without some short-lived "reward." I thought that scene is tacked on for this purpose and was out of place.
Considering what a rough ride Lumet is about to put the viewer on, couldn't he have shown the audience some mercy by not starting with a view of Hoffman's ass?
