* DidTheResearch: Gallico knew his Egyptian mythology. In the second part of the book Thomasina believes she is Sekhmet-Bast-Ra, a reincarnated cat goddess. (All you see of this in the film is the Cat Heaven scene.) As she observes the humans and their actions, she believes she is controlling their destiny (and who's to say she is not? The Egyptians did believe that cats were capable of redirecting human destiny and even controlling the movements of the moon. Gallico clearly knew this. There's a touch of MaybeMagicMaybeMundane throughout this entire sequence). When Andrew falls to his knees and cries out to God for forgiveness, he doesn't know that Sekhmet-Bast-Ra is up in the tree directly over his head and thinks he is addressing ''her''. Perhaps he is.
* JerkassWoobie: Andrew is emotionally distant from everyone, including his own daughter, but he is also a man grieving for his dead wife.
