...strange and fabulous Widener (okay, so it's not really Widener: Harvard wouldn't allow Alek to film there). He goes down into a boiler room, a strange and fabulous boiler room--a scary boiler room not unlike an old steel mill--and encounters among the boilers Simon Wilder (Joe Pesci), a homeless man living there. Simon has Monty's thesis but won't give it back. Monty gets Simon evicted, but Simon hides the thesis. He makes a deal with Monty to give him a page a day for food and housing...
During his Oscar acceptance speech, Trueba equated Billy Wilder with God, and it is in this scene that Wilder's influence comes through most strongly.

After her summer romance with high school hot-shot Zuko, he ignores her in front of his gang of delinquent buddies. She is improbably accepted by the Pink Ladies, the school's group of wilder women, despite their scorn for her virginal bobby-sox image. The acting is competent but no one shines. Some genuine emotion or a bit of chemistry between the couples might have made the evening somewhat more bearable. The audience has no reason to care if Sandy and Danny ever...
