    • Trivia
      Harold Perrineau is only two years younger than Forest Whitaker, who played his father.
    • Goofs
      Auggie takes his daily picture from a typical tripod, below shoulder level. Yet the photos in his album are taken from eye-level position or higher. In fact, the alignment of the traffic signal and the building behind it is so consistent from picture to picture, that they were most likely taken from a fixed mount.
    • Quotes

      Auggie Wren: If you can't share your secrets with your friends then what kind of friend are you?

      Paul Benjamin: Exactly... life just wouldn't be worth living.

    Harvey Keitel's best?
    I'll try to make this short and sweet. This is simply one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. Even the credits can't be missed. Harvey Keitel and William Hurt are just unbelievable. Ashley Judd makes you want to kill her. There are so many gems in this movie you would think it came from a South African diamond mine. This is NOT to be missed. It's sort of a non-linear Quentin Tarantino format without the violence. Several great stories spun by a master. Two words: SEE IT.
