The Village

Revealing mistake: In the scene during Ivy's sister's wedding ceremony, right after the people all notice the boys screaming "Mr. Walker, Mr. Walker" Ivy is walking with her arm extended in front of her to find her way through the crowd of rushing people. At one point she has her hand right in front of a man's face (he has a beard and mustache), and despite being blind she then brings it up over his head and behind him in perfect timing without ever touching him. (00:14:15)

Suggested correction: This is because Ivy explains in the movie that people give off a faint color to her. She knew it wasn't Lucius so she avoided him.

Quotes

Lucius Hunt: [reading a letter to the elders.] My mother is unaware of reasons of my visit today. She did not give her consent or consult me in any form. The passing of little Daniel Nicholson, from illness, and other events have weighed on my thoughts. I ask permission to cross into the forbidden woods and travel to the nearest town. I will gather new medicines, and I will return. With regards to those we don't speak of, I am certain they will let me pass. Creatures can sense emotion and fear. They will see I am pure of intention and not afraid. The end.

Trivia

Trivia: M. Night Shyamalan likes to use red in his movies as a symbol of something of significance (see trivia for Sixth Sense and the color red). Here it signified "a bad color" for the people of the village, and they needed to hide this color from one who should not be spoken of, i.e. the "monster."

Questions

Question: Was there ever a name provided for the character who was dancing with Ivy when she heard the children's screams? He also was one of the men carrying the sacrifice of meat, and might have been the Villager in the tower in the opening credits. He is tall and bearded, and seems to be the "go-to" guy here in the Village.

Chosen answer: There was no name, and I was not under the impression he was indeed the "go-to" guy. Other than dancing with Ivy and participating in the meet ritual, he was not seen in the movie at all.
