Plagiarism?

[edit]

The script is very similar, almost identical to a 2008 German movie called "Absurdistan"...Did the French director based this film on the German one? or was it just plain plagiarism? In either cases, it should be mentioned in the article...Anyone with more informations? 93.24.116.150 (talk) 01:18, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioned only if it can be reliably sourced. Lugnuts (talk) 08:49, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not quite plagiarism, which would require another's work being passed off as the scriptwriter's own. Similarity of plot isn't quite enough, since most artistic work draws on the work of others. In any case, the plot is not exactly new. Lysistrata, a Greek tragedy circa 411 BC, beat them both to it by over 2,000 years.

Infobox language

[edit]

There isn't really a language called "Moroccan"... AnonMoos (talk) 23:06, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks for spotting that. Lugnuts (talk) 11:36, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
