Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

maybe someone could point out the relationship to "film noir"

[edit] Your opinion

Did anyone else thing this movie was an absolute joke, and that the nationwide praise for it is some sort of prank on the American movie viewing public?

If anyone actually reads this, I'd be happy to list some of the reasons why I thought this movie was so incredibly bad.

This movie has a very large following, but the common response to criticism of it is "You just didn't get it," and that aspects that are usually hallmarks of poor cinema (stilted dialogue, stereotyped characters) found in the film are actually intensional for artistic reasons. I think a brief analysis of how fans are reading the movie would be interesting.209.11.161.235 18:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Although this is not the place to write a review of the film, I've always felt there was something off about the film - I hope someone familiar with the graphic novels and the film can shed some light on whether what appears to be bad elements of film on the surface are intentional and in some vein related to the graphic novel. I "just didn't get it" and I also don't get why there's no explanation for what seems an obvious handicap of the movie. Ranieldule 16:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I have just watched the film, and didn't see this. Stilted dialogue ? Where ? Stereotypes - yes, but that may have been an attempt to give the film a mythic feel. -- Beardo 14:44, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Did anyone notice the name of the villian Harris plays: Carl Fogarty? How could that name in a film be taken seriously in the UK given that the real Carl Fogarty is actually a 4 time World Superbike motorcycle champion. A bit of oversight would have helped, or even, foregoing the changing of the characters name, from the graphic novel, in the first place. --Rastapopolis 15 January 2007.
