Pink Floyd's 1983 album, The Final Cut, shares a character with this film, Fletcher (named after Roger Waters' father). It isn't clear if this connection is deliberate, but the album also features overtones of tragic loss and memories.
Director Cameo: Omar Naim is the man sitting at the bar before Robin Williams confronted the man in the bathroom.
Robin Williams also played a lead character named Alan, and shared the role with a child actor who plays Alan's younger self, in Jumanji (1995).
Alan Hakman is a similar role to Robin William's earlier role in One Hour Photo (2002) which he starred as mentally disturbed photo developer Sy Parrish.
In this feature, Robin Williams was bound by the Three Codes from "The Cutter's Code." Five years before, Robin also was bound by the Three Laws of Robotics in Bicentennial Man (1999).

The tattoo that Alan gets resembles the symbol for a pause button on an audio or video recorder (a circle with 2 vertical lines like an 11 inside). The point of the tattoo is to block (pause) audio recording from his Zoe implant.
