The trivia "section" contained only one item, and that was a comment regarding the time-placement of the opening scenes showing Modesty as a child. The costumes and weapons suggest it takes place in WWII (which creates a continuity error as the rest of the film takes place at least in the 1990s); others have come up with the speculation that the scenes take place during the Yugoslavian Civil War of the 90s, and now someone went and changed that to the break-up of Yugoslavia. Truth be told, the film gives no indication one way or the other. As such, and because trivia sections are on the verge of being forbidden here anyway, I just went and removed it. it's not that imporatant. 23skidoo 19:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
In Peter O'Donnell's stories, Modesty's origins are never quite clear but she seems to be Hungarian, and she lost her parents in a German-run refugee camp in Greece during the Second World War. This film is set in the present day (well, the present day when it was made) and, although the 'war' flashbacks use footage from Richard Attenborough's Second World War epic A Bridge Too Far (acknowledged in the credits), the clear implication is that Modesty is a refugee from the civil war in former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

I altered the statement that Tarantino interviews O'Donnell on the disc. His discussion with director Spiegel is separate from the O'Donnell interview. I own the disc and have watched it myself. Also, the Amazon page indicates that the two features are separate (though, technically, it doesn't say who interviews O'Donnell). -- alias1219 —Preceding undated comment added 18:39, 27 September 2010 (UTC).
This article was unsourced. It also appears that the film fails WP:NF as it was not widely distributed and went straight to DVD. Therefore, I have redirected it to My Name Is Modesty#Films where the film is briefly discussed in the context of the comic book character (albeit, also without sources). Since this film does not seem to meet WP:N (and this article as it was even more clearly does not make the case for how the movie does meet the guidelines), notability and sourcing should occur before this article is recreated, not that it should be recreated.
