The Age of Adaline

Continuity mistake: Ellis leaves in in his dad's Jeep (model year 2005-2007) and in the very next scene he is driving a newer model.

Continuity mistake: Adaline takes the glass of liquor from Ellis' hand and finishes it. Once she walks out the door the glass is next to Ellis again, and when she appears outside it's filled again.

Lollipop

Other mistake: In the beginning, Adaline's husband dies. At the funeral, their daughter looks to be about ten. But then when Adaline is driving to her parent's place and the commentary says, "Where her five-year-old daughter is waiting for her." There's no way the child at the funeral was five years old.

Continuity mistake: Adaline takes a glass filled with some liquor from Ellis' hand while he is on the phone and she walks out with it, but in the next shot we see that same glass back on the counter beside Ellis. (01:17:15)

Character mistake: When Jenny is dead, Ellis attempts CPR on her, but his hands on her chest are far too high; they should be just up from the base of her sternum, his are nearly under her chin.

Other mistake: Near the end, Ellen Burstyn is holding the new puppy, referring to the dog as a female. Right after that, she is talking to Ellis with the puppy there, and they refer to the dog as a male.

William Jones: Plato believed that every soul has a companion star that returns to after death... if you lived a moral life.

Question: When Adaline gets arrested is it because she is she is suspected of being a communist or something else entirely?

Darth Crucible

Chosen answer: It was because she had used so many fake I.D. the F.B.I. had become suspicious, possibly believing she was involved in some type of criminal activity, which is often why people assume different identities.

No, that can't be right because she doesn't start using fake names until AFTER the incident with the FBI. She was still using her normal name, Adeline, when the FBI grabbed her. The implication of the story is that they grabbed her because she didn't age and they wanted to use her as a lab rat.
