[[Source Code (film)]] → {{no redirect|1=Source Code}} — Per [[WP:PRECISION]], we do not need to disambiguate if the topics are in different cases. The film is in title case, so when readers explicitly search for "Source Code", they will arrive at the film article. WP:PRECISION mentions [[red meat]] vs. [[Red Meat]]. Film examples include [[panic room]] vs. [[Panic Room]] and [[pulp fiction]] vs. [[Pulp Fiction]]. We can add a hatnote to point readers to [[source code]] just in case, but it is much more likely than not that they will be looking for the film. --[[User:Erik|Erik]] ([[User talk:Erik|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Erik|contribs]]) 23:29, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

== Source Code/Source code distinction ==

Hi!

I interpret the previous discussion to indicate that [[Source Code]] should lead to the movie, but [[Source code]] should lead to the concept. Isn't this the case? If not, I'd seriously request a reconsideration. Merely typing "source code" should lead to the concept, not the movie.

Thanks. [[User:Kumar Appaiah|Kumar Appaiah]] ([[User talk:Kumar Appaiah|talk]]) 15:03, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

:Your interpretation was correct. The reason is that the film is the more likely end result people are looking to reach (see [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]). If, at some point in the future, we determine that is no longer the case, we can always change it. [[User:Millahnna|Millahnna]] ([[User talk:Millahnna|talk]]) 15:21, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

== The REAL Sean Fentress ==

Does anyone know who the actor is that played the REAL Sean Fentress (the guy everyone in the Source Code sees, the picture on the wallet, Colter Steven's reflection)? I think it deserves a place in the article (Under Cast. Since the voice cameo got billing on WP, the body cameo should too). -[[User:Wingdude88|The Wing Dude, Musical Extraordinaire]] ([[User talk:Wingdude88|talk]]) 17:42, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

== Hero not really dead suggestion (for the plot summary) ==

At some point in the movie, it came to me that the hero might not be really dead (what a plot twist that would be...), given that his father speaks about getting just ashes back and we see him in the "incubator". Later this idea is rejected, given that the whole body is shown, but still, this seems to be a trick from the screenwriter and maybe worth mentioning in the plot summary. [[User:Adam Mirowski|Adam Mirowski]] ([[User talk:Adam Mirowski|talk]]) 03:40, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

== Plot clarification==
What does "allowed to die in peace afterwards instead of being held alive as a military artifact" mean? That he was murdered? The plot summary (which is so long it is more like a condensed book) is very poorly written and confusing. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/124.197.15.138|124.197.15.138]] ([[User talk:124.197.15.138|talk]]) 04:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Well, technically yes, he was killed, but given his situation, rather than murder I'd call it euthanasia. --[[User:UKER|uKER]] ([[User talk:UKER|talk]]) 19:38, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

== character section needs to go ==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code#Characters trivial and OR]. Not necessary at all and written in opinionated format. Example:
<blockquote>She says exactly the same thing at the beginning of every sequence, no matter what facial emotions Colter is expressing (fear, confusion), whereas real human beings react in microseconds. Furthermore, when the bomb goes off ahead, it does not faze her. She still wants to know what the hell is going on beating up a guy on a train bench. All of this may be explainable if it has something of a simulation aspect, which is not perfect.</blockquote>

Rather than adding a tag, I suggest the whole section be axed because it cannot be polished in any way. Important character facts should be merged into the plot summary. [[User:Wikifan12345|Wikifan12345]] ([[User talk:Wikifan12345|talk]]) 12:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
:Completely agree. Just do it. [[User:Exok|Exok]] ([[User talk:Exok|talk]]) 12:47, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
::I also agree and have removed the section. Actors and their roles should be discussed using secondary sources in the "Cast" section. The plot summary is adequate for describing each character's noteworthy actions in the process of describing the film.

The artitcle's use of "overall" suggests that the film grossed only $14 million. In fact it made over $100 million. Doesn't final gross typicaly follow weekend gross in the Release section?

== Mistake in Plot description. ==

I am inexperienced with editing at Wikipedia so I am not going to. I am however hereby reporting a mistake in the plot description. I will let you guys verify and edit.

The plot description now:
Once back aboard the train, Stevens disarms Frost, and then handcuffs Frost to a railing. Stevens uses Frost's cell phone to call authorities to inform them of the location of the dirty bomb, and then proceeds to throw Frost's phone off the train. Stevens borrows a phone to send an email, and he then calls his estranged father under the guise of a fellow soldier, mending the emotional distance from their past.
This is incorrect.

What did happen:
Stevens disarms Frost, handcuffs him to a railing. Uses the phone that was attached to the BOMB to call the authorities. Throws BOTH bomb phones aside. Takes Frosts OWN cellphone, and that is the phone he sends the email to Goodwin with and calls his dad with.

This can be verified by checking from 1 hour and 10 minutes into the movie.
