[edit] Communication

"He can no longer see, hear, speak, or move on his own, but can communicate by wiggling his fingers and blinking his eyes.."

So.. how does he know someone is responding to him? Do they tap rhythmically on his shoulder or something? This sentence is pretty undefininative. Disinclination 16:08, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article for Star?

Why does Zack O'Malley Greenburg not have an entry? Heck, he hardly has any information anywhere! --tennisman ^{sign here!} 21:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lorenzos oil.jpg

Image:Lorenzos oil.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] 'Plot' section

There needs to be a clearer separation between what happened in real life and what happened in the movie. I don't remember the movie showing the son dying at age 30. Borisblue (talk) 10:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Geeze, borisblue, the guy just died yesterday. The movie was made a 15 years ago. How was the moving suppose to show that the guy died when he was 30?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.205.238 (talk • contribs)
