Watts的名字是什么?（电影中只提及她的姓）

她的全名:Susan Watts

Some Kind of Wonderful在上映后它的同名小说也发行了,因为原始脚本的缺失这个问题的答案从小说中找到,由小说作者David Bischoff增加的一个场景,电影中做了修改,把Watts全名的信息删去了.

为什么Keith会在酒吧等Amanda？

A很喜欢当时酒吧里正在演出的那支乐队(The March Violets),Keith以为她会来酒吧看乐队演出.

小说中一段比较隐晦的段落回答了这个问题,当Keith的妹妹Laura闯进Keith的房间告诉他Amanda和他约会只是在耍他.

小说第113-114页

Keith lay in his bed, looking at a sketch of Amanda.

An Echo and the Bunnymen record was on the player, moaning away

in harmony with Keith's thoughts.

Amanda hadn't showed up.

Oh, well. Like Watts had pointed out, she hadn't actually said

she was going to be there. She had just said she liked the group

that would be playing, and like an idiot he had just assumed...

Suddenly he was aware that he was being watched.

He twisted around and saw that Laura was looking down at him from

the doorway. Cripes, she must have jimmied the lock!

因为在电影中这个情节完全没有告诉或者提供任何线索给观众,导致在观众中这个问题被多次提起.

为什么Watts在酒吧那场戏中会问Keith：你有想我吗，Keith？

当Keith开始追求Amanda后，Keith就开始刻意回避Matts了(虽然不是故意的).在一场酒吧的场景中,他没来和Watts一起吃午饭,而在过去的2年里他们每天都在一起吃午饭.Watts去操场找Keith,就在那个场景电影剪掉了一些对话,表面Keith刻意躲开Watts,对话结束后Watts离开了.

尽管电影中有暗示Keith躲开Watts(在和Amanda一起回家前把车钥匙扔在Watts的车里),再一次因为操场的戏被剪掉了,使得观众没法加深Keith对Matts刻意回避的提示.只留下一句"我在等Amanda"的台词,让观众十分不解.

为什么Keith在派对的那场戏中会对Hardy说：You're over ？

这句话确确实实出自原来的场景,不过并不是全部的内容.在小说中这场戏被完整的保留下来.Duncan和他那群人其实并没有到派对来,而Keith是独自对付Hardy.Hardy叫他的朋友要好好揍Keith一顿,就像电影里出现的,Keith建议Hardy亲手"把他丢出去"

然后从这开始电影和小说有出入了.在小说里Hardy的朋友慢慢的站到了Keith这边,并建议Hardy自己动手来和Keith单挑.在看到人群中Hardy的朋友没有一个愿意为他揍Keith后,客人开始渐渐离开.就在这个时候Keith说出了这句台词:你想要听实话吗?显而易见的事实?你完蛋了.

这句台词放到了电影里,但是内容有了改变.没人想过Hardy会去和Duncan和他那群人打架.
