House M.D. Question

Wilson's (relatively) new poster ...

When Wilson returns to PPTH in season 5 he has a new poster on his wall. I noticed that it's a poster of the 1980 movie "Ordinary People" which is a great movie (based on a book) with some really talented actors.

Anyway, the movie is about a teenager who lives in the shadow of his brother's death - there are other family issues going on, but the son is lonely, depressed and needs help.

I thought this was a very interesting choice for a new poster after Amber's death at the end of season 4.
On to the question - I haven't seen this movie in a really long time! Can anyone else think of any other relations this may have to the show or is that about it?

Robert Sean Leonard once mentioned that this was one of his favorite movies and then Katie Jacobs managed to get him the poster :)

Leonard was eager to discuss the significance of the movie posters in Wilson's office, which have intrigued "House" fans for many seasons. "I didn't have any input at first," Leonard said, but when he mentioned at a press conference that "Ordinary People" was one of his favorite movies, producer Katie Jacobs added it to the wall. "We had to get permission from every actor, because they appear on the poster. I think it says a lot about Wilson. I think that movie is a fascinating study of human relations and familial relations and human interaction. The complexity and the difficulty of facing what's going on inside you and admitting it, letting it inform your relations with other people. I think if you deal with death every day, and people who get the news of their own death, well, [oncology] is not like plastic surgery."
