Edit in Plot

Plot was edited for accuracy of the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.117.186 (talk) 00:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Postmodern

It says at the begginning of this article that the movie is "postmodern", but provides no explanation as to WHY or HOW it is postmodern. Can anyone expand on this? Or should the modifier just be removed? (Kiyae (talk) 02:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)) It has been a while since I've seen it but I would say that it fits the mold of the New Sincerity film than Postmodern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.247.63 (talk) 16:06, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NAME?

Headlines

Johnson Interview —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.246.206 (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should say somewhere here the plot is a rip of the movie Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels.

Misplaced Links

From the External links section, all the links that were not suppose to be there so I could remove the tag.

Literary allusions

The edits of this section don't have any sources and it's going to be removed as

WP:OR. I hope someone that knows where the sources are can add them because I can't find any. --Peppagetlk 20:24, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply

here is the entire section:

Literary allusions

On the commentary track Johnson released for viewers to listen to in the theaters, Johnson discusses the film's allusions to James Joyce's

Cyclops
. The Cyclops, in both the Odyssey and Ulysses, is posed as Ulysses/Bloom's enemy.

In the film itself, Penelope comments on the allusion to Herman Melville's final novel, The Confidence-Man, when she encounters the Belgian named Melvile on the boat Fidele, the name of the boat in the novel. The implication is that Stephen has deliberately placed this reference.

The brothers refer to their unethical former mentor Diamond Dog as their "Fagin," an allusion to the pickpocket who takes orphans under his wing in Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist.


It needs references, the entire section is
WP:OR. --Peppagetlk 19:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply
