Wissenswertes
Although Vonnegut's renowned refrain, "And so it goes", appears over 100 times in the novel, it it is not uttered even once in the movie version.

Patzer
When Billy Pilgrim is asked by the American soldiers, "Where's your rifle?", he replies that he doesn't have one because he's a chaplain's assistant. However, in the United States Army, the primary duty of the chaplain's assistant in a combat zone is to protect the chaplain, so all chaplain's assistants must carry rifles. Because Chaplains are considered ministers in uniform they are forbidden from carrying weapons even when in combat zone.

Zitate
Billy Pilgrim: [in his sleep] You guys go on without me. I'll be alright.
Prof. Rumfoord: All he does in his sleep is quit, surrender, and apologize. I could carve a better man out of a banana.

"Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time."

After becoming enraptured with Vonnegut's strange and subversive Slaughterhouse-Five far too late in life I discovered that not only had a film been made, but had been spoken about gushingly by the great author himself so I endeavored to see it. It's a strange affair really - incredibly close to the narrative of the book but eschewing any and all elements of the witty commentary so it comes across as a kaleidoscope of images with very little dialogue even. If you'd never read the source I can't imagine how you begin to make sense of it. The book is so woven into Vonnegut's voice that detaching it from that feels more like a fascinating experiment or a curious visual companion piece than a solid adaptation in its own right.
