Paranoid Park is both a novel by Blake Nelson and an The Film of the Book indie directed by Gus Van Sant. It tells the story of a 16-year-old skateboarder - unnamed in the novel, but given the name Alex for the film - who tries to fit in with the skater crowd and accidentally kills a security guard while trying to board a train. The author has said that the book is a kind of retelling of Crime and Punishment in a young adult fiction setting. The novel and film take place in Portland, Oregon, United States. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Paranoid Park / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: One of the biggest complaints about the movie is that the trailer makes it seem as though the movie is going to be a mystery-thriller, but when you actually watch the film it couldn't be any more different. | |

| Paranoid Park / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: In the book, the detective lies about his parents getting divorced when he was a kid to earn Alex's trust, which almost works, until Alex finds a "happy anniversary" card in his car. | |

Can't Get Away with Nuthin' | |
| Paranoid Park / int_5f6c6cc1 | comment |
Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Alex is a pretty normal kid who probably never did anything worse than drink a few beers in his life, but the one night he decides to venture to Paranoid Park to hang out with the "streeter" kids, he ends up accidentally killing a security guard, promptly fucking up his life for good. Although, technically speaking, he does get away with it | |

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic | |
| Paranoid Park / int_ce9da072 | comment |
Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: averted; Alex stumbles over his words and does not have a particularly sophisticated vocabulary in his narration, as he says, he "didn't do well in Creative Writing". | |
