In the movie "The Invisible" Nicolas cage is eating breakfast and his mom is reading the newspaper and looks down at his shirt and says "What is that, irony?"

Does anyone know why she says that? Why would it be irony?

I recently saw the movie and the breakfast he was served looked like it would have been gluten free. The T-shirt made a few appearances in the movie, and each time "gluten free" was visible.

Things that make you go Hmmmn?

In case you're interested you can look at the shirt here:

Apparently some movie buff actually owns the shirt used in the movie and lists it at this site as memorabilia.

thats a good question. i remember seeing the movie and thinking it was really cool they made him "gluten free". but i don't remember the mom saying anything about the shirt and irony... were they talking about something else at the time and she was just looking at him? because the breakfast was bacon and eggs right? so maybe his character is gluten free but they didn't really make that a big part or issue of the movie.

or, maybe he wasn't gluten free and they just made sure that he was wearing a shirt that would be recognizable for when the dog was sniffing it and searching for him?? because it did say gluten free people who knew what that meant would be "awesome! a shout out!" but people who didn't would pay more attention to it because they would want to know what it meant too...? i don't know! just throwing something out there. either way i think its pretty cool it was in the movie.

It was in the very beginning so they weren't talking about anything else.

I just want to know if it has a meaning at all.

      Yes no gluten in my diet. I get so sick that I have to go to the ER for fluids and medicine. I was diagnosed in 2017 but was told I probably have had it my whole life. (Went to Mayo in 2019 to confirm diagnoses and address all other autommune issues ect.) Also intolerance to sugar alcohols and chicory root. Try to eat clean and stay away from processes foods.

      Dawn, are you diligent with the gluten free diet? When were you diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I am on Otzela for my psoriasis an psoriasis arthritis.  They tried pretizon and I got sick on it. ( the doctor at urgent care). Need to see my doctor but he seems puzzled by me. My celiac disease is unresponsive and my numbers are off the chart.  ( 2nd testing went higher but Mayo said they might never go down because I have it so bad) Came back home considering going back to Mayo.

      Hi I have celiac disease and the dermatitis herpetiformis rash Also other autommune diseases.  I have had bad side effects to all the vaccines I have had and now my Doctor wants me to have the pneumonia vaccine.  I am concerned because of some of the bad side effects I have had in the past example Hep B after shot couldn't  move arm for several months.  Flu shot and COVID was sick right after shot. Told not to get anymore. My lung is inflamed and have a cough I can't seem to get rid of. Very concerned 😟.
