[edit] References

The budget info, like the rest of the Technical data, was taken from IMDb. [1] -- LGagnon 00:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Seems like it might be time to start referencing our data? I was able to find this site with a reference to the Brand New song fact that we need a reference for, but even though it looks like a news article, it's a student paper.--Hurtstotouchfire 09:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Miss Cross and the ending

I do not agree with this article's suggestion that the film concludes with Max accepting his relationship with Miss Cross as a friendship. In fact, I would argue the counter. The movie is essentially what Max portrays it to be. It is his "play." He, in my opinions, "ends up" with Miss Cross given the ending. I think the article should be less specific about the ending and its meaning and slightly more open to other perspectives. Opinions? Abacab 06:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I absolutely disagree. the movie is not what max "portrays it to be" the film is about his coming of age and independence as a man. At the end of the film he has matured and accepted his natural role in life as an artist, and a young man. He has margaret chang. he is friends with blume again. and he takes rosemary's hand and dances with her as an acceptance and a farewell to all the previous troubles. he even sets up blume and rosemary in the audience and trys to put them back together by having blume try and build the aquarium again for her as a reconciliation.

You're right that Max matures and accepts a great deal, but there's a definite indication of the same old manipulative Max when he has the DJ put on a specially chosen and especially sentimental song (save lyrics) for his dance with Miss Cross. Certainly, scheming to reconcile Blume with Cross indicates that he does not intend to pursue her (and hence I disagree with the Abacab that he "ends up" with Cross), I think this subtle touch (directing the DJ) indicates that Max will never fully "accept his role in life". If he did, there would be no hope for any of us. But more pertinently, with respect to editing, the claim that Max accepts his relatinoship with Cross as Platonic is someone's personal interpretation and not factual. (And by the way, it's 'Yang', not 'Chang'. God, watch the movie! :) ) 82.45.161.53 20:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The list of extracurricular activities

I'm removing it for the second time. While it might be interesting to fans of the film, there's really no reason for it to be in this article (Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information). Please present an argument for why it should be included before reinserting it. Pele Merengue 17:00, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
