Extraordinary Measures: Difference between revisions

* [[Composite Character]]: Stonehill is fictional, the merging of a half-dozen scientists spread across several different universities.

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Stonehill is not very easy to get along with.

* [[Loud of War]]: Stonehill prefers ear bleeding loud music while working. This works okay at his university office (late at night), at the reseach lab he had built in the middle of a field, but causes problems when he becomes one of a dozen other lab scientists at a major research facility.

* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: The Crowley kids were significantly younger during the events of the story than what was in the film, and the effects of Pompe reduced muscle density across their entire body, meaning they couldn't even smile. It would have been difficult to cast especially young children who couldn't smile into a role that is the emotional force behind the movie.

* [[Present Day Past]]: The real-life events the film (loosely) follows happened from roughly 2000 to 2003. Doesn't stop the Crowley children from playing with an [[Product Placement|Nintendo Wii]], first released in 2006.
