Talk:The Deep End of the Ocean

Themes: "Dual ethnicity" are you for real?
"Ben's dual-ethnic and family identity." You have got to be kidding me. While I can appreciate the subtle overtones of cross European Union relations, bottom line is they are white. Even the EU doesn't consider the differences of Italy and Greece ethnic, they are part of the same EU community which makes it so much harder to swallow that because the little boy who was taken away from a US Italian family and raised in a US Greek family to be that far fetched, and thus sounds like something some white woman concocted to sound all that more oppressed since lacking more to complain about in their upper middle class white existence.

Now if the kid were (subjunctive mood emphasized since contrary to fact) raised in the ghetto, or the projects in Chicago's south side or maybe amongst the US Spanish-speaking / Latino - Hispano population, or Asian family to have taken him in, then Ok maybe I'd see the dual ethnic issues but not between Italy and Greece and should be deleted or refrained from use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.53.219 (talk) 12:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Article contradiction/confusion
The Plot summary starts out like it's talking about the book, but then by the second to last paragraph it has "...after the credits roll..." which is talking about the movie! There's no transition from one to the other that lets a reader know which goes with which. I think there should be two sections: one for the book, and one for the movie; in order to make it more clear. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.251.51.27 (talk) 04:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC).
