I misunderstood some things John Huston said.
CHINATOWN:
Jake Gittes: I just wanna know how much you're worth. More than 10 million?
Noah Cross: Oh my, yes!
It came out very much like "My ass!"
It seemed like a very weird thing for Mr. Houston to say in a film.
That's a really great example. Actually I can imagine (and rationalize) Cross saying "My ass!" That's exactly the kind of thing a fat old rich guy would say to a preposterous underestimation of his liquid value.
I've been struggling to come up w/ a solid specific example of my own, but most of them probably are similar... a lack of clarity about the indirect ways that adults sometimes communicate IRL and in movies.
