Talk:The Upside of Anger

the final monologue/text by lavender:

Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That's what I know now. It needs nothing to burn, but the air and the life that it swallows and smothers. It's real, though, the theory. Even when it isn't: It can change you, turn you, mold you and shape you into someone you're not. The only upside to anger, then, is the person you become. Hopefully someone that wakes up one day and realizes they're not afraid of this journey. Someone that knows, that the truth is, at best, a partially told story, that anger, like growth, comes in spirts and fits, and in it's wake leaves a new change at acceptance - and the promise of calm. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

and the monologue/text after the graduation: the deep hatred that man has felt for one another through the ages has blossomed in one chapter after another of opression, violence, hate, rape, religious slayings and genocide. [...] ...of anger that it exists over and over again in the relationships that exist between the males and females of our species. Here, in rural Botswana an unfaithful tribeswoman is brought to a (???) by a group of locals for a ritualised punishment of beating and harassment. Events quickly spiral out of control for the tribesmen now, as the womans spear becomes to going to contain, and the men are quickly forced to flee for their safety.

Moved Trivia section from main article
Despite looking, I was unable to find any reliable reference to source the trivia listed in the main article. Consequently, I'm moving them here until some movie buff can reference reliable sources.

Trivia
 * At the wedding scene, the band plays "Try a Little Tenderness" and after singing the first couple of lines, the singer hums, as if he forgot the lyrics. This is a cross-movie joke as this was the same song featured in Bull Durham, where Kevin Costner's character gets upset with another player for not knowing the words to "Try a Little Tenderness"
 * When Terry goes to Denny's house to clean, she holds up a poster of Denny in a Detroit Tigers uniform. This is most likely a reference to Detroit Tiger alumnus and frequent radio show host Denny McLain, considering that the character is named "Denny" and of whom a great many baseball posters depicting McClain were made due to his popularity after becoming the last pitcher, to date, to win 30 games in a single season.  Costner played a Detroit Tiger in the film "For Love of the Game".
 * The character played by Kevin Costner is loosely based on former Detroit Tigers players Denny McLain and Kirk Gibson. The writer-director, Mike Binder was born and raised in Birmingham, Michigan and often incorporates Metro Detroit or the Tigers into his films.
 * Throughout the film Kevin Costner is seen wearing the same MA-1 bomber jacket he wore in "Bull Durham".
 * As Terry rushes to the hospital the song 'If I fall in love with you' is heard through the car radio. It is written and sung by British folk singer Terry St.Clair. Mike Binder had heard him play and bought his CD while visiting London some time before.
