[edit] Remake

Isn't this film a remake (of sorts) of the Akira Kurosawa film "Rashomon"? (I apologize that this has no topic bar thing, but I'm pretty inexperienced at all this.) 75.49.206.242 (talk) 09:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so, although the plots are remarkably similar. (And I added a topic bar for you). 67.160.87.2 (talk) 07:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler Warning

A spoiler warning had been added and I deleted it. No need to add a spoiler warning. Please refer to Wikipedia:Spoiler for reasons. --Quest for Truth (talk) 09:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More Detail On Plot

I think there needs to be more detail on the plot, like what happens on everyones point of view. thanks

I added more detail to the plot, and then realized I went over 900 words, per Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines. But then, I would describe the plot of this movie as "very complicated". Opinions? I was going to flesh out the ending a bit too, but I'll wait. Dissentor (talk) 07:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I noticed it doesn't mention if the real President was himself shot. L337 kybldmstr (talk) 02:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I've added some more detail to President Ashton's perspective since I think that a few more lines of detail were necessary. As I just watched the movie, I think that some relevant aspects of this perspective were left out. Hopefully this doesn't make it too bloated.--PIngp0NG (talk) 03:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Casting Section

Can anyone find any citations for the information in the Castings section? Been trawling the internet for references to no avail. --Norman22b (talk) 23:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ambiguity

Saying that the event of B being shot is shown from the perspective of A, while in fact A sees that C is shot, of whom he thinks it is B, is at least confusing. My clarification was reverted.--Patrick (talk) 22:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot fix

I'm fixing a minor plot detail. The automated rifle was retrieved by Matthew Fox's character, not placed by him. While it shows him retrieving it, it never shows him placing the rifle. While he certainly knows where it's hidden, we are never shown him placing it there, and for plot purposes it doesn't make sense either, seeing as how he would likely have been with the president all day long. Just a minor point and I'm taking care of it. Levid37 (talk) 07:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
