I wrote a thesis comparing the movie and the book by Benioff and added some references to the article. Although I don't think X-Men plays a great role for the movie, one must acknowledge the fact that Monty quotes the movie by saying that he wants to be "the girl from X-men who can walk through walls." Ironically, Anna Paquin who plays Jacob Elinsky's high school Lolita, plays that girl in X-Men in the the X-Men movie. That's a fact and it's undisputable. Draw your own conclusions, I suggest.
It is a fact that there are many linkages between "25th Hour" and the X-Men comic books. In my opinion, the Trivia section on the X-Men should remain.
"Made up in school one day"? I didn't make this up. Take a look for yourself, and you'll see the connections. In the long run, it might have little importance. But I'm just noting that this is a peculiar fact between the two subjects. I don't think it hurts anyone if these connections are mentioned.
Again, I don't believe it hurts anyone if these connections are mentioned. That's all I'm saying.
Rebecca, I really don't understand why you object so much to the references to X-Men. I'm certainly not devoting an ENTIRE section to this. I'm simply putting it under the Trivia section. If you yourself would like to add something to this Trivia section, I would be more than happy to take a look at it.
Well, then, what do you make of other Wikipedia movie articles that DO have trivia in them? Last time I checked, articles on The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Crash, Traffic, and Hero have all had trivia sections in them.
Life is too short for me to engage in this frivolous debate with you, Rebecca. I'm moving on. My advice to you: Get a life.
I'm not sure how relevant this is, but the synopsis isn't quite accurate about how the film begins. Strictly speaking the movie begins with the main character and a russian criminal companion getting out of their vehicle and arguing what to do with an abandoned and beaten dog. Or more flexibly, post-credit/New York tower of light sequence: the movie begins with the main character walking the previously referenced dog (After arrest, conviction, etc.). I've noticed articles like Syriana don't adhere strictly to the order that the plot is actually presented in, but the bust and post-bust interrogation is presented in flashbacks. Not as an initial linearly presented plot item as the synopsis seems to suggest. -- 68.148.209.197 00:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Agreed - the synopsis (well, Plot Summary) needs a LOT of work. Correction and well, major expansion in my opinion. Irritatingly there seems to be a lack of complete summarys for this film on the internet, so maybe someone with the DVD could finnish it? Also some trivia and DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FILM AND THE BOOK are required. Again, someone who owns the novel could do this? Chipstick
I truly believe that the ending of this movie is open to interpretation. The summary says he wakes up Monty is going to prison, but I feel that he wakes up and THEN he has a decision to make: go to prison, or try to run away. 65.219.235.164 04:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I can't figure out of this is short for something like 'jointproduced film' or if it was just vandalized to have that there. Tyciol ( talk) 08:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Spike Lee refers to all of his movies as "A Spike Lee Joint". It's in the title credits if you watch the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.133.184 ( talk) 20:34, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

It's always interesting (yet slightly nauseating) how many H/wood movies use Russian mafia as the bugbear... 212.188.109.145 ( talk) 22:37, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Re: the final scene: critic Mick LaSalle wrote, "And the film concludes beautifully, with a vision of an idyllic Middle America as only a New Yorker could dream it." I didn't actually add 500 words to the plot summary, but rather than revising piecemeal I merely copied and pasted an older version of the final paragraph and tweaked it slightly.

Should either more detail be added to the plot summary, or perhaps another separate section added, making a little more explicit what this film has to do with 9/11? The entry as it currently stands is not very useful at all in that regard, despite linking to "List of cultural references to the September 11 attacks" ... Although it briefly mentions that Spike Lee "decided to integrate 9/11 into the story," I still don't really get it
