was this scene in this film...



i was thinking of a scene where someone is trying to work out how a disease works, and so starts connecting paper clips together..and ends up with an extremely long chain. i think it was this film but i havent seen the film for something like 10 years and so im not sure if it is.

reply

yes it is in this film. The person connecting paper clips would be Mr. Adone.

I think this could be it, but the chain never gets that long. Unless your thinking of the dream sequence, where the chain of papercips, and butterfly paper clips are really huge, and like two chains moving.

Yes, Nick Nolte's character (Lorenzo's father) is in the library connecting paperclips and explaining to his sister-in-law Diedre how carbon atoms (c2, c4, c6, etc.) relate with enzymes.
