Your revert on Fanny & Alexander

What does Fanny and Alexander not being an American film, have to do with posting a film release date in the article infobox? Release dates apply to nations where the films are released and have nothing to do with the origin of the movie... Fanny and Alexander was released in the U.S. And since the largest audience of the English-speaking Wikipedia is the U.S., the release date for the film ought to be included, not to mention that most of the film's revenues probably came from the United States, which on both accounts would make it a notable release date. The United States was at the time a larger film market relative to the film markets in the rest of the world, than it is now. That is why Bergmann used to release movies to television, because no one in Sweden went to the cinema... So what is with the bullying? Regardless of what you may think, Wikipedia is a public forum, and you do not own the article. It is not yours to possess...Stevenmitchell (talk) 13:56, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Forever Young Edit 2019-09-08 (Very Minor)

Here you reverted my edit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Contender_(2000_film)&diff=next&oldid=914664151

You say the "controversy" which was referred to, and which reference I deleted, was "well documented":

You say: The Oldman controversy was well documented and needs to be summarized per WP:LEAD

I checked the reference. It's not. It was clear that the author of the article inferred this all by caveat. You can check the reference for yourself and see what I mean. It was not a quote from Oldman, it was an interpretation of an off hand remark that could be taken many different ways. That's hardly "well documented."

In any case the major issue in the sentence, the words saying:

→"The film serves as a response to the Lewinsky scandal involving President Bill Clinton"

are not even close to being accurate. When I reviewed the movie, there is nothing similar in the plot to relate it to the real life events in the Clinton Whitehouse.

The character depicting the president does not have an affair with an intern, and while the press does criticize the President in this movie, that is generally true of any president.

It would be tantamount to saying that any movie that has a president characterized in it, who's criticized by the press is a response to the events in the Clinton Whitehouse. It's really a stretch.

If any parallels can be drawn (but would be "original research" to do so) it would be the Chappaquiddick incident that happened with Senator Kennedy when his car went off a bridge.

Hope this helps and please do not start an edit war over something so minor. בס״ד 69.112.128.69 (talk) 18:16, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Through a Glass Darkly

Hi, not sure why you’ve reverted my edits without so much as a sentence of constructive explanation.

A general plot summary of the film would summarize the numerous hallucinations and delusions the character experiences throughout, not one specific detail which only appears in the film's final ten minutes (but which your sentence misleadingly implies happens throughout). I don’t see the value of emphasizing this one detail over, say, her incestual act, or her hearing of voices in the wall, or her visions of her husband. It’s entirely arbitrary.
Why have you separated the mention of one theme—"God is love"—from the sentence that discusses the rest of the film's themes? And why include this but not the influence of Bergman's wife and their relationship, which he speaks about just as often? Especially given that he explicitly denounced the seriousness of the film's treatment of this theme later on?

gentlecollapse6 (talk) 16:38, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why you’ve responded on an entirely different page, but I don’t anticipate we'll be seeing any consensus quickly built on the talk page of a relatively sleepy article, so: I haven’t suggested the spider-god is not notable... there is simply no reason to emphasize it in the context of a general plot summary—perhaps a thematic summary, given its symbolic importance, but it does not reflect or summarize the majority of the plot. Additionally, I did not remove mention of the "God is love" theme in my final edit but simply included it alongside the others, as it does not strike me as taking precedence over, say, the film's exploration of mental illness and deterioration (even Bergman retroactively states that this was his true interest in making the film). And sorry, just about every general piece of writing I’ve encountered about Bergman in relation to Fårö feels it necessary to describe what it is, including including UK sources—the idea that it’s equivalent to Manhattan in the broad cultural imagination is somewhat silly. There are three notifications because I made edits to my comment, I do hope you’ll forgive me. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 13:54, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've copied the relevant portions of this discussion to the Through a Glass Darkly (film) talk page, hopefully we can clear this up. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 16:46, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Billy (Black Christmas character)

Hello Ribbet32, I have been working on a revision draft (now the main draft since the original article was deleted) for the Black Christmas antagonist Billy for some time now. I like the work you did on the article for the 2006 remake and was wondering if you want to collaborate with me on it. I need more information for the "Men Behind the Killer" sub-section and "Legacy" section since they are both a bit underdeveloped in my opinion. I found a video interview you could help me look over for possible information and if you find any more non-video sources that I have missed feel free to let me know. Just let me know on my talk page as a heads up on whether or not you are interested.--Paleface Jack (talk) 20:39, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CSA screenplays

There is an actual reason why the Canadian Screen Award for Best Screenplay was done as one article instead of splitting it up into separate articles for Original and Adapted Screenplays.

Most importantly, there's no case at all for spinning out a separate article only for the original screenplay category, while leaving the adapted screenplays inside the merged-category list. If separate articles are desired, then there have to be three articles (one for the original, one for the adapted, and one for the merged category), not just two. We cannot split one of the more specific categories out as its own article, while leaving the other one embedded inside the generic category's article — either original and adapted both get split out as separate articles or neither do, because it's an WP:NPOV violation to decide that one category is more important and more worthy of a standalone article than the other.

So the fundamental reason that I opted for one article instead of three is because there's no value in making the reader bounce back and forth willy-nilly between three separate articles. It breaks context, because separate articles mean that there's now no way to see any list that goes year-over-year directly from My American Cousin as the winner in 1986 to The Decline of the American Empire as the winner in 1987 to Night Zoo as winner in 1988. Instead, the reader now has to bounce back and forth between two different articles to figure out that succession — and if we actually had the three articles that are necessary, then Dancing in the Dark would also be subject to the same problem.

And on top of that, the current pandemic has more or less shut down all film production and distribution for the foreseeable future, and nobody knows when things are going to get back to normal (TIFF will even have to be cancelled if this doesn't end soon!) — so there is a very high possibility that the categories will have to be collapsed again at next year's awards for the first time since 2001, simply because there aren't enough eligible submissions in one or both categories. And that will break context for the reader again, because there will be no way to list next year's winner directly alongside either of this year's winners.

If there had been a consistent break point, then we could have handled it differently — for example, if the CFAs had always presented just one screenplay category, and then the CFA to Genie transition had been marked by the introduction of separate original and adapted categories that had been consistently presented as separate awards after that, then we would have done three articles because the breakpoint was a clean one. But in reality, the CFA and Genie eras bounced back and forth like a ping pong ball between the two models, so it's not helpful to the reader to break them up into three separate articles.

I'm not going to revert you arbitrarily, but I am going to initiate an WP:RFC for outside opinions on whether splitting the article up is justified or not. But even if consensus does favour separate articles, it has to be three, not two. Bearcat (talk) 14:57, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prix Iris

Now that I've got all of the Jutra/Iris ceremonies by year done, I've been actively working on getting the category articles into place — as you may have noticed, I got six of them finished just this past week alone, and the other ones are all going to be finished within the next couple of weeks. But it's not productive or useful for me to have to repeatedly go back to every film every three days to add a link only to the specific category I've just finished — for example, it's not reasonable to expect me to edit Antigone to add only a link to the Screenplay article, and then have to go back to it again 24 or 48 hours later to add only a link to the Revelation category, and then have to go back to it again another two days later to link only the Editing category, and then yet again another two days later to link only the Casting category, and then again another two days after that to link only the Music category — the moment I've got the project actively underway, I'm entitled to minimize my workload by smashing through all the new links in one edit so that I don't actually to go back to the same article twice.

So could you please just leave the redlinks alone in articles where I've added links to one or more Prix Iris categories whose articles aren't finished yet, given that they're coming? Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 20:30, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mindless reversions to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-Life_Alberta_Political_Association

You keep reverting back to your version of the page - mindlessly so. Two things: Your reversion changes the terms of how the organisation describes itself so your reversion presents out-of-date information (see: comparison Prolife Alberta ) Secondly, your reversion removes relevant and attributable No other pro-life organisation in Canada can issue Tax-credits AND engage in political activity. This is due to Prolife Alberta's unique status as a registered political association with Elections Alberta. So please, refrain from making mindless reversions. Thanks, Ray

The Importance of Revealing the Ending of The Royal Tenenbaums in the Opening Paragraph

I noticed you replaced the ending into the opening paragraph of the article. No other Wes Anderson film's page or any other film's page from what I've seen contains the ending in the opening paragraph. Is there something unique about this particular film that requires the ending to be revealed in the introductory paragraph? Incerto501 (talk) 19:31, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I read that article already, but what I'm asking is what specifically makes The Royal Tenenbaums unique, requiring it to be the only movie on Wikipedia (as far as I can see anyway) to have the ending in the opening paragraph. For example, why isn't the ending of The Grand Budapest Hotel in the opening paragraph? Or why isn't there a notation that Darth Vader is Luke's father in the opening paragraph of The Empire Strikes Back? Incerto501 (talk) 21:17, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but Darth Vader is a character, not a film - like The Royal Tenenbaums. If Royal Tenenbaum, a character played by Gene Hackman, had his own page, then I could see why his character arc would be included in the page's opening paragraph. It seems silly to quibble over one sentence, but I'm just wondering if there's some sort of universal manual of style for movies. If there isn't, there should be one so these issues don't come up. I've asked twice now if there's a particular reason why The Royal Tenenbaums is the only film on Wikipedia that has its ending revealed in the opening paragraph and I haven't gotten an answer yet. How do we resolve this? Can we take a vote among some kind of committee? Incerto501 (talk) 21:37, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Virgin Spring and "rape and revenge" genre

Hi there. I see you recently reverted my edit to The Virgin Spring with the summary "rv genre removal due to POV". I still think this film should not be treated as being a part of that genre (which is a pretty narrow niche as genres go - not a broad genre like "western film" or even "spaghetti western"). I think it's fine to mention its influence on the genre in the lead (which the article currently does not do) but I don't think there are many sources that would consider this film itself as belonging to said genre. Even looking at the article on that genre, this film doesn't fit the definition. KFP (contact - edits) 18:17, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
