Talk:Brick (film)

message: I'm surprised Twin Peaks has not been referenced her! I mean, dead high school girl, drugs, sinister underbelly of small town, main character's detective solving clues, clues revealed through dreams, visual references to the ceiling fan like on Laura's stairs, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leopheard (talk • contribs) 
:We need proper references before something like that can go in the article. Vague coincidences between the two are not enough, but if for example there's an interview with Rian Johnson where he talks about Twin Peaks being an influence, then mention that, with a proper reference. — sjorford++ 18:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

text: btw, without a source mentioning a critique on a connection with twin peaks would be in violation with wikipedia policy as original research.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.1.132.248 (talk • contribs).
Mr sjorford bloke - I believe I have found a good quote from Rian Johnson himself re: Twin Peaks (see edited page - after reading help pages I wasn't too sure how to properly cite a website sorry!). I understand he has his own website (www.rcjohnso.com) and he has dicussed TP with a few people and makes it clear that some elements were directly influenced. Furthermore, I do also believe that TP has had an effect on Brick, but I have to agree as someone said above it's only a similarity and not a complete rip-off etc. Thanks, Leopheard84.71.153.118 02:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Twin Peaks homage

message: Brendan remarks to Laura "Now you are Dangerous", a line lifted directly from the The Maltese Falcon (Chapter 4 - The Black Bird). This is hardly a unique line. Source, or just opinion of the editor that included it?--Crossmr 04:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know if Rian Johnson ever actually said that line was a direct lift, but he's stated multiple lines that Brick was primarily influenced by Dashiel Hammet, so even if he hasn't specifically stated it, I think it's a pretty safe bet that it is, in fact, a direct lift. Plus, I don't see how it's a common line. Dancemotron 00:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: I don't think it's slang for a dose of heroin, but not sure what else you could describe it as. Maybe a measurement?  Monkeyspearfish (talk) 18:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In this context a brick refers to a compressed block of heroin. It can refer to various units of measurement (kg, lb), but since there is no clear consensus and I don't believe the film is specific in this regard, I left this out. Jakob Reznik (talk) 00:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The film mentions that the brick is a kilo. --Ahecht (talk) 02:16, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brick: A dose of Heroin 

message: I have watched the film a few times now and i have noticed something. I was starting to wonder if the character Brain is actually real or if he is just a figment of the brendens imagination or his consious. (or however you spell it.) This might be a leap but i find it possible because Brain doesnt interact to anyone else in the movie (this could just be because he is a "loner".), He seems to understand the situation on equal terms with brenden and is able to fully understand him when brenden uses more complex dialouge. I am not fully sure about it. I was just kind of wandering what other people thought about it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.179.178.64 (talk) 06:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
