How come Officer Gucci doesn appear to age?
Gucci is supposed to have aged throughout the course of the film. The same actor was used, with only subtle makeup and hair changes to indicate he was younger (darker, thicker hair and smoother looking skin), shown in flashback and only briefly, thus creating confusion among some people with regards to this issue. From these stills (courtesy of SugrNSpyce),the difference is much more apparent: 1974: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6541/gucciyoungks2.jpg 2004: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4804/guccioldai5.jpg Beyond the pictures, there’s no doubting Gucci is a real person functioning within a real Police Department. We have police statements from 1974, and interviews from 1995 that we see in the film, as well as characters that interact with and know him (the Nun, the police officers, and Cybil) all of whom would have noticed, and probably reacted, if he hadn’t aged.
