Adam Sandler's character is shown playing (and referring to) the video game "Shadow of the Collosus." This is actually relevant to the plot and character. It is a game with very little dialogue, about a man trying to bring someone he presumably loves back to life. One can obviously see why he would play this game, as he is still dealing with his own loss, and has problems communicating with others. Also, the game features a final boss which is inside of a massive tower. Once defeated, the creature and tower collapse. One should easily be able to see the ironic symbolism of the game's imagery compared to 9/11 and Sandler's character. [This is not trivia, this is your relation to the content of the film.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
