導演 Jim Sheridan，劇中夭折的男孩叫 Frankie，
而片尾出現的"In memory of Frankie Sheridan"
看的人還以為導演在紀念自己死去的兒子, 其實
是他的弟弟小時候腦瘤死去，本片劇本是導演和
他姊姊寫他們的父母和他們小時候的經歷和感覺
"In America appears simple: a story about an Irish
family in New York coping with the death of their young son and
adjusting to their new life. Clearly autobiographical, it ends with
a dedication to the memory of Frankie Sheridan. Audiences will
assume that Sheridan, who co-wrote the screenplay with Kirsten and
her sister, Naomi, has channelled the loss of his own son.
But the Dublin-born Sheridan never had a son; Frankie was his
brother who died of a brain tumour when he was 10 and Jim was 17. In America is as much the story of Sheridan's parents as it is of his
own family's experiences.
"I think we helped my dad," Kirsten says of her work on the script
with Naomi,"but when he decided to put the Frankie story in, I knew
I had to step back. I knew that was the heart and soul of the film,
and that's my dad's heart and soul."
