The postcard SPOILERS

I'm rewatching the movie (I loved it!) and I paused it on the part where John takes the postcard out of the mailbox. It's actually POSTMARKED in Australia :O Do you think that was a goof? Or intentional? Maybe Warwick takes trips all over the world and mails the postcards to himself? (to further support the crazy imaginary world he's created--like how he prepared dinner for all of his guests) Or maybe he owns a stamp that looks like a postmark that he can customize. haha

Just thought that was an interesting find.

The3 post card thing was one thing that I found hard to swallow. How many people go to his house in particular to use a postcard from the letterbox to rob him? I can't imagine it happens too frequently. It was like he does it regularly to suck someone in.

I think he just mails himself postcards to pretend he actually has a friend named Julia

He goes on pretending even when John's long gone, after all

I don't think it's necessarily a trick to lure in wayward bank robbers

Thanks Transmentalist. I'm surprised I didn't get that, silly me. Of course she is part of his imaginary group of friends. I didn't think it was to lure strangers to let them get his details.

Mail can be sent to postal clearinghouses to be postmarked with something particular from a region or country.

eg. Sending mail to 'Love, SK' to be sent for Valentine's Day.

i find it funny that the postcard was sent from Sydney but it's postmarked from Melbourne. The production crew took all the effort to include it and an actual correct postcode and suburban shop but wrong city.
