1 question
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Christopher Walken, Matthew Broderick, Penelope Ann Miller, Corey Parker, Matt Mulhern
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the film, young men headed to basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi are shown on a train crossing a river. The name of the train is visible and easy to read. At the end of the film, the men are leaving Mississippi. The scene shows the train crossing the same river, but the name of the train is backwards. The director must have wanted to save money, and reversed the film for a mirror image.
Arnold Epstein: You're a witness. You're always standing around watching what's happening, scribbling in your book what other people do. You have to get in the middle of it. You have to take sides. Make a contribution to the fight. Any fight. The one you believe in.
Trivia: The main character, Eugene Morris Jerome, is also the same character name in Brighton Beach Memoirs. Both characters also keep journals of their everyday life. Both characters also want to be writers as well.
