The Nose Ring


Is the nose ring that Anna Paquin wears in several of the scenes in the latter half of "Fly Away Home" real? I would find it odd that the filmmakers would include the nose ring themselves as part of her character. It's especially distracting since she is wearing it some scenes on not others.

It's a fake. She's trying it on in the halloween scene.

It's not a costume. The character really gets her nose pierced (I don't know if Anna Paquin really did)and it is there in every subsequent scene. It's just that the lighting or angles in some shots make it less obvious. The director may have chosen to put it in as some sort of physical transformation to indicate that she is growing up. Not sure.

According to Roger Ebert's "The Movie Answer Man," it's a clip on. Anna wore it to the set one day and they decided to include it in the movie.
