Anecdotes
The sign outside the school board building indicates that it's the "J. Parizeau English School Board", a deliberately-ludicrous name choice since Jacques Parizeau was a famous Québec sovereigntist, and a supporter of the provincial legislation that restricts access to English-language public schools.

Gaffes
When Frank is telling Leon about his (Frank's) experience with protests in the U.S., his listing of events is comically inaccurate. For example, he says there were "massive demonstrations all over the U.S. during the middle of the Kennedy Administration" -- when protests over Vietnam did not begin until the Johnson Administration. He also says that "Woodstock and Patty Hearst" were contemporaneous when the Woodstock Festival was in 1969 and Patty Hearst was kidnapped in 1974.

Citations
Eli Bronstein: How does it feel making your family the biggest laughingstock of the city?
Leon: Half the city, Eli. The French don't care.

Générique farfelu
After credits a usually confused Leon is seen walking up to a bench and sitting on it in a jump suit.

Criminally underrated

There are very few movies which would make your day better. The Trotsky is one of them. I believe it is criminally underrated and deserves a better rating.

It is very well thought, very well written and has a decent third act, which justifies the running time. I was laughing and rolling over, when the reference to 'Battleship Potemkin' came on the screen. And there is even a 'Wrath of Khan' reference to.

References aside, this movie doesn't glorifies or nullifies Trotskyism. Jay Baruchel really did a splendid job by bringing out that angry high school kid, who needs an outlet to speak out.

This is a very sweet movie and should be never missed. I wish I saw when it was in theaters.
