* MythologyGag: The film's DancePartyEnding features singers chanting "Pana! Sonic! Pana! Sonic!" The WorkingTitle of the [[Literature/WhiteNoise original novel]] was ''Panasonic''. The word "Panasonic" also appears as a NonSequitur during Jack's surreal ImagineSpot about Babette having sex with Mr. Gray, which is another nod to the original novel.

* GenreDefying: For the most part, the movie is a realistic and grounded comedy-drama, but several moments evoke science fiction, such as the sight of the massive toxic cloud, with purplish lightning. Winnie's laboratory is full of tubes of bubbling liquid, like a campy MadScientistLaboratory. Not to mention that Dylar is straight out of science fiction. However, the film uses none of the storytelling conventions expected of science fiction, which means it sits squarely in the middle of the axis between "realism" and "genre".

Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodThin: In the book, Babette is described as overweight. Gerwig's Babette is thin. She zigzags AdaptationalAttractiveness, as Babette is described as being beautiful despite her weight, though it's true that Gerwig is more "traditionally" attractive.
