Self-Plagiarism: The story Paul tells Rashid about the boy who discovered his father frozen in a block of ice is taken from Auster's novel The New York Trilogy. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Smoke / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The movie is based on the short story "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story" by Paul Auster. The entire story is filmed in the last 12 minutes of the movie (as well as part of what plays over the closing credits); everything that happens before then was made up by Auster and co-writer/director Wayne Wang. | |

Everybody Smokes | |
| Smoke / int_71105dfc | comment |
Everybody Smokes: All the main characters in this movie smoke, and Paul and Auggie are seen smoking throughout. However, near the end, Paul buys only one box of cigarettes rather than two because he's trying to cut down. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Smoke / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The poster only features Harvey Keitel, Stockard Channing, and Ashley Judd, as if they were the main characters, and they were close. Judd's character hardly figures in the movie; and while Keitel plays one of the major characters, Channing plays more of a supporting role. | |

Leave the Camera Running: Most of the scene of Auggie telling his Christmas story is done in one, unbroken five-minute shot. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Smoke / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "So he huffed and he puffed, and he smoked his book." When Auggie tells the guys who hang around his store about what happened to Paul's wife (she got caught in the crossfire of a shootout nearby), one of them says, "Bad Day at Black Rock all around, huh, Auggie?" | |
