He describes the characters as “following a cause beyond convention.” He chose the title because it forces you to talk differently and hopefully to think differently. Russell talks about working with his talented cast and how he wrote roles specifically for Jason Schwartzman, Mark Wahlberg, Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman. He elaborates on what we are watching which helps if you are mystified by this movie

O. Russell states a few times that he recorded this commentary after the track with the actors because he felt there was more information to be shared. This is the superior track, with the director offering details about the inspiration for the script and film, in terms of personal experiences, previous ideas, or films like Casablanca or Chinatown. He elaborates on some of the underlying philosophical elements and political undertones. He speaks to the score by Jon Brion, the cinematography, the color scheme, physical comedy, working with the actors, and audience reactions. He does go silent a few times but never for very long.

Russell again, this time joined by Schwartzman and Wahlberg with Naomi Watts edited in separately. Schwartzman recounts amusing anecdotes about making the movie and keeps things light. Russell’s comments tend to overlap somewhat from his solo track. Wahlberg chimes in occasionally, usually when his character is on-screen.

With Schwartzman and Wahlberg, O. Russell has a good rapport and this track is the more energetic of the two but has more "fluff." Most of the useful information is shared again by the director in the other commentary. Schwartzman has some nice stories about coaching from Dustin Hoffman and his history with Isabelle Huppert. Wahlberg built a friendship with O. Russell on Three Kings and that carries over here. Wahlberg also points out some of his own motivations and inspirations.
