Page History Question

[edit]

I created this article. Why is it not shown in the history now? Can;t the original history be re-instated?-FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 16:54, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

title

[edit]

What does the title of the memoir allude to? Was there a famous religious book for kids called ‘A Guide to Recognising Your Saints’? I tried searching on google but the results were overwhelmed by pages about the memoir or the film. --Mathew5000 18:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Trivia

[edit]

I love that in the movie, when Mike is naming off hardcore bands, he says Major Conflict, Ditto’s band which would not have been formed yet. Real tragedy that Mike died, he seemed like a decent kid.

I thought that Mike was naming off names for the Band that they would form together.(ats02171)

Fair use rationale for Image:Guide to recognizing your saints.jpg

Image:Guide to recognizing your saints.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Anachronisms

[edit]

Some of this information is irrelevant i.e. pedestrian crosswalk lights in 1986 vs. 2000 -- this is not a significant detail in the film. One thing I'm sure should be deleted is the part about the question "rock or disco?" being somehow strange in the script -- this based on Dito Montiel's mostly nonfiction account, and he was actually there so who is anyone on Wikipedia to say that this particular question wouldn't have been asked? It seems out of place in the mid-eighties? Who could possibly make that judgment encyclopedic? Maybe plenty of people were still referencing disco in 1986 in Astoria, NY. It is far from implausible and worthy of mentioning in this article. --Jentizzle (talk) 11:35, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Characters and Real Lives

[edit]

'Recognizing Saints' is a really enjoyable film, it can stir many emotional feelings in those who left their neighbourhood returning years later, but still in their 'questioning' early-middle age.

Who guided me? Where did I come from?

However, the film is portrayed as auto-biographical and it was quite disappointing to read the book of the same name and note significant differences. It may have been better for the film to have been portrayed unashamedly as Fiction, and good fiction at that. The section "Characters and Real Lives" was drafted to pick up on some of those differences between the characters and real people. Please feel free to add to, correct or amend, but remember to reference it. --Hywel Ashkenazy (talk) 22:39, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italy as its own continent?

[edit]

Montiel, in his directorial debut, wrote and directed the film adaptation, which was released in the United States in September and October 2006, in the UK, Europe, and Italy in March 2007. Can somebody explain this to me? Because it kind of outnumbers my gigantic grey cells. Greetings to wherever --Jambornik (talk) 17:17, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
