I think Jimmy dies

Dudes, i know it is a little ambiguous in the film, but I think Jimmy actually dies at the end. Maybe if we put it in the wiki, it will influence other peoples' interpretation of the film and then we can all agree on Jimmy's demise.

It is not that I don't like Jimmy as a character, but I just think that the movie is an art house film and art house movies always end with the main character dying or something similar.

What do you guys think? I am putting this up for a vote. The ballots end tomorrow at midnight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.206.138.33 (talk) 19:53, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

You're completely failing to understand how Wikipedia works. Unless it's verified, we don't list it. And Wikipedia is not here to influence anyone's opinions. So using it as a tool to create different interpretations is strictly-off-limits. You can try to skew information towards your own bias on some other site. But Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia that only lists sourced facts. And voting, unless it's an attempt to reach consensus on the inclusion or exclusion of actual encyclopedic info, is completely off-limits as well. Also, please sign your posts.

While it is good you put this up to a vote, Wikipedia is not a place for original research or opinions on film interpretation - AKeen (talk) 18:08, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Watch the film again.......when the scooter comes off the cliff, Jimmy can clearly be seen standing on top of the cliff as the bike plunges to the ground.....the real give away is the beginning of the film when Jimmy is seen walking away from the cliff after already ditching the bike over the edge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.41.63.123 (talk) 10:29, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Die Aerzte

The article does not mention a song (and video) by the same name from the famous German band Die Aerzte. The video contains similar looking motorcycles to the one on the movie poster.

Below par.

For such a beloved film, I dont think much of the plot section. Surely someone can do better. The part where they try to buy drugs is missed out entirely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.236.49 (talk) 01:18, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, as I stated in the edit summary last year needs Saturday/ nightclub and sleeping rough adding - there are chunks missing, but this is not uncommon in Wikipedia articles. I'll add it on to my 'list of things to do'...that'll make number 204!!!--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 01:37, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

What year?

What year is the film set? I've seen the year mentioned in the plot section changed back and forth several times with no explanation. Is the year mentioned directly during the film? -- 109.78.248.181 (talk) 17:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

The year (summer) of discontent was 1964; the events reflect actual happenings, particularly the seafront riot scenes which can be seen in contemporary news reports and photos. One of the allegedly-reliable sources quoted actually states 1965, another mentions 1964. The events were so serious that I don't think the authorities would have let it spread/resurface into another calendar year?

This BBC source seems reasonable, or this Google image search with images including newspapers. I haven't much time to research presently, but I have enjoyed skimming through some of the DVD reviews. Semperito (talk) 21:08, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, that helps. -- 109.79.168.17 (talk) 19:18, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
