Don't know about the book, but reflecting back on the movie, there's tons of moments that take on a new perspective, and not in a "neat, but whatev!" ways but in an emotional, character-based way.
Like how in the beginning when the warden
is seemingly expositing in an annoying way about the new fangled methods and the doctor is talking about his methods, when really they are trying to impress upon Leo how much they care and how they are trying to avoid the attitude that Teddy has towards the prisoners/patients.
I figured it out the end, but the journey was hauntingly beautiful and reaching the end just enriched that journey in reflection.
I'm not throwing an Oscar party this year, but Epicurious just published their menu if anyone else needs inspiration:

Given the number of Best Picture noms and the noms themselves, I decided against a themed menu. And given my apartment, I need to serve something easy to eat or that can be served in one bowl. Right now, I'm leaning towards either Cioppino, or tamales.
ETA:
Almond Baklava with Rosé Water
I'm going to assume that this is a typo and that the good folks at epicurious know the difference between rosé and rose.
That's an impressive hotel-inspired continental breakfast.

And it includes one of the recipes from my "easy favorites" list, namely, "Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Lemon Cream"--they are yum!!

I adore A Serious Manwich and Avatunatartare.
Which reminds me, I have an Oscar party Evite to respond to.

Was it the cioppino, or the tamales?
