Removed this bit(it messed up the format): {Spoiler} The film's ending may be seen as touching on the issue of cloning (in a manner comparable to the 2006 film THE PRESTIGE). The most plausible interpretation of the ending is that Kelvin dies on the space station (having chosen to stay behind when it is abandoned). As he dies he is recreated as a replica within the mind of the Ocean - this replica possesses all his memories and experiences its existence as continuous with that of the original Kelvin - and in this form Kelvin is eternally reunited with his wife, who also exists as a replica within the mind of the Ocean. She tells him, in the last words of the film "We don't have to live that way any more. Everything we have done is forgiven - everything".

The Rev. Dr. '''Cheri DiNovo''', is a Canadian [[social democratic]] politician. She is an [[United Church of Canada]] minister and previously headed the Emmanuel-Howard Park congregation in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]]. As the [[New Democratic Party of Ontario]] (NDP) candidate in [[Parkdale–High Park]], she was elected to the [[Legislative Assembly of Ontario]] in a [[by-election]] on September 14, 2006.

A progressive, [[social justice]]-oriented minister who favours inclusion of marginalized groups, including women, [[LGBT]] people and the poor and [[homelessness|homeless]] into the mainstream of Christian life, DiNovo began her church ministry career in [[1992]], leaving behind a career in the corporate world, after her husband died in a [[motorcycle]] accident. She has two children, Francesca and Damien Zielinski, and is now married to Gil Gaspar.<ref>

:A cynical reading of this scene, which is clearly contrary to the makers' intentions, might suggest that while the Ocean could make a full replica of Kelvin since it came into direct contact with him, it could only recreate Rheya on the basis of Kelvin's memories of her. Such a reading would imply that Kelvin has condemned himself to an eternity with no company other than himself - a form of damnation.

DiNovo hosts a weekly radio show, ''The Radical Reverend'', on Toronto's [[CIUT-FM]]. Her book ''Qu(e)erying Evangelism: Growing a Community from the Outside In'' won the [[Lambda Literary Award]] in the Spirituality category for 2006.

==Politics Remake? ==

===NDP nomination campaign===

When [[Gerrard Kennedy]] stepped down as the [[Member of Provincial Parliament]] (MPP) for [[Parkdale–High Park]], the NDP was not expected to win the seat.<ref name="now1">{{Citation|last = Milne|first = Vanessa|title = Radical reverend star in NDP race|journal = [[Now Magazine]]|volume = 25|issue = 47|pages =|date = [[July 13]]|year = [[2006]]|url=http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-07-13/news_cityinbrief.php}}</ref> With that gloomy outlook in mind, two candidates came forward to contest the NDP nomination: DiNovo and former journalist and current executive director of the [[Canadian Arab Federation]], [[Mohamed Boudjenane]].<ref name="now1"/> The spirited campaign that followed lasted about a month, with both sides signing up large numbers of new members.<ref name="now1"/> Boudjenane was endorsed by [[United Steelworkers of America]] president [[Leo W. Gerard]] and the former president of the Ontario NDP, Andre Foucault. DiNovo had the support of NDP stalwart Michael Lewis<ref> brother of former Ontario NDP leader [[Stephen Lewis]], and son of former Canadian NDP leader [[David Lewis]]</ref> and many members of the riding's executive. The nomination meeting took place in the middle of a heat wave on the evening of [[July 17]], [[2006]], in the Parkdale Colegiate Institute auditorium.<ref name="now2">{{Citation|last = Milne|first = Vanessa|title = Cheri picking in Parkdale|journal = [[Now Magazine]]|volume = 25|issue = 47|date = [[July 20]]|year = [[2006]]|url=http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-07-20/news_cityinbrief.php}}</ref> The sweltering auditorium was filled with over 300 people, most of them delegates. DiNovo defeated Boudjenane with a comfortable margin.<ref>although the NDP follows [[Roberts Rules of Order]] to run their meetings, which means the vote count is made public, the exact numbers were not released by the NDP as per an agreement between the two candidates </ref><ref name="now2"/>

I'd like it very much if we could avoid saying that this is a remake, or at least reach consensus so we don't have to go back and forth.

===2006 Parkdale–High Park by-election===

DiNovo defeated Liberal [[Sylvia Watson]] in the [[September 14]], [[2006]] by-election to replace Gerard Kennedy in the [[Legislative Assembly of Ontario]]. She officially took her seat in the Assembly on [[September 25]].

It's a film version of the book. The Soderburgh film differs from the book, but it goes its own way rather than mimicing the choices that Tarkovsky made. As for "distinct facial resemblances," I don't really see it. And that hardly qualifies as "a great debt." Certainly Tarkovsky's film is a classic and undoubtedly influenced Soderburgh - but that doesn't mean it's a remake. [[User:Staecker|Staecker]] 21:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

During the campaign, DiNovo acknowledged having been both a "street kid" and a user of recreational [[drugs]] in her youth. She was criticized for this by Watson's campaign.

== Great debt? ==

The [[Ontario Liberal Party|Liberals]] alleged that DiNovo endorsed the church ordination of [[pedophile]]s and axe murderers in ''Qu(e)erying Evangelism'', when in fact she did not, and took DiNovo's past comments about Canadian murderer [[Karla Homolka]] out of context, saying the comments compared Homolka to a [[Jesus Christ|Christ]]-like figure, where instead they were used in reference to the dangers of [[Scapegoat|scapegoating]]. The Liberals also did not mention DiNovo's expression of sympathy for Homolka's victims' families and the undue suffering she believed the media circus surrounding Karla was causing them. Many accused the Liberals of conducting a [[smear campaign]]. <ref> {{cite news|coauthors = Canadian Press|title = Fall session begins, Cheri DiNovo sworn in|work = CTV News Toronto|language = English|publisher = [[CTV News]]|date = [[2006-09-25]]|url=http://toronto.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20060925/queens_park_060925/20060925?hub=TorontoHome |accessdate=2007-03-01}}</ref>

I don't really see the signifigance in this either. It's in this article and in the 1972 version's article. How is questionable facial similarities "a great debt"? and explain how saying it is a great debt is not based on opinion. An opinion on how people look alike could not really be used to justify saying the movie was influenced by the original.--[[User:Skeev|Skeev]] 19:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

===Poverty===

:I was hoping someone else would have mentioned this. I'm removing the section concerning 'debt' and facial resemblances because it's not very npov --[[User:Artificialard|Artificialard]] 06:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

On [[October 23]], [[2006]], a ''[[Toronto Star]]'' column by [[Carol Goar]] said DiNovo had brought a new clarity and assertiveness to the NDP caucus' voice in the Ontario Legislative Assembly. Since entering the Assembly, DiNovo has approached a variety of poverty-related issues, including raising [[minimum wage]] and [[welfare]] rates in the province, creating more affordable housing and ending the government's tax clawback of the federal child benefit supplement.<ref> {{cite news|last = Goar|first = Carol|title = Ontario NDP gets a sparkplug|work = Editorial|pages = A.22|language = English|publisher = [[The Toronto Star]]|date = [[2006-10-23]]|url = http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/1149659431.html?dids=1149659431:1149659431&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Oct+23%2C+2006&author=Carol+Goar&pub=Toronto+Star&edition=&startpage=A.22&desc=Ontario+NDP+gets+a+sparkplug |accessdate = 2007-03-01}}</ref>

== Soundtrack / Original Score ==

Earlier in the year DiNovo had shared her experiences of drugs and poverty as a 15 year old, in a TV interview first shown on VisionTV March 9th 2006. She said "I know what its like to live on the streets ... street kids are not bogey men they are just poor".[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COKHE4BjlIM]

Is there any benefit to adding information on [[Cliff Martinez]]'s acclaimed original [[film score|score]] to the film? I don't want to clutter the article but this could be interesting information. Any comments? [[User:Streltzer|Streltzer]] 21:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I just came to post that I actually heard the score in a car advert being aired in the UK recently. I'm sure it's aired in the US too due to the high production value. It was very weird hearing it in an advert - took me ages to pin-point where I knew it from when I heard it. Sorry I don't have any more information on the advert, but hopefully this will jog someone's memory so they can provide further information.--[[User:NeF|NeF]] 01:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
