Changes I've made

[edit]

Regarding the changes I have recently made: firstly, the language used wasn't very encyclopaedic; secondly, because of the lack of references, I couldn't tell which films credits listed in the filmography were films, which were TV work etc. Therefore I used IMDB to identify the films only. We can add his TV roles when we have a reference for it. --Popeyedoyle 21:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

The film Divaneh-yi az Ghafas Parid has been given the English title One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The latter is the title of Ken Kesey's 1962 novel (see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (novel)). It is also the title of Milos Forman's 1975 movie, with Jack Nicholson in the role of Randle McMurphy (I have understood that Forman made this film without Kesey's permission). Although the film Divaneh-yi az Ghafas Parid indeed deals with a man in a psychiatric institution, the important question is: who can give the literary licence to translate Divaneh-yi az Ghafas Parid as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? Lastly, I have just noticed that in the entry of Niki Karimi One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is presented as One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest, with the "the" missing. Someone should consider to bring some uniformity to these divergent presentations. I shall not do this myself, as I cannot believe that one can take such a liberty as identifying Divaneh-yi az Ghafas Parid with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with or without "the"; such an identification is heretical to my best judgement, unless Divaneh-yi az Ghafas Parid is explicitly advertised as being at least inspired by Kesey's novel (my recollection of the film is that its underlying plot bears no relation to that of Kesey's novel, barring the scenes in the above-mentioned psychiatric institution). --BF 01:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
