- 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.

Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes → Aguirre, the Wrath of God : This is the English Wikipedia.—jiy (talk) 22:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Support as nominator.—jiy (talk) 22:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Support. The English title is used on the DVD cover, and credited as the US title on IMDB. No reason to use the German title. Kusma (討論) 22:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Support WP:NC(UE) (unfortunately) --Lox (t,c) 08:51, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Weak support. I remember the German being used on the DVD title page, but the standard for films and literature is to use English as possible. --Mgreenbe 01:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Support --HasNoClue 08:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Support per WP:UE seems straight forward, i would just move. - Spaceriqui 05:02, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Francisco/Gonzalo Pizarro

The Pizarro in the film is Gonzalo not Francisco. I have amended accordingly. SCRA5071 00:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gaspar de Carvajal's account

Regarding this entry:

"Additionally, there are a number of persons and situations which may have been inspired by Gaspar de Carvajal's account of an earlier Amazonian expedition"

I am intrigued to know more about the above article edit, sources, speculations, trivia, etc. The subject fascinates me.--Rule 303 16:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ebert Top 10 Ranking

I didn't explain my change in the summary, so I'll explain it here. The cited list seems to be in alphabetical order, not in terms of 'the best', 'the second best', etc. I felt this merited the change "number one" to "in the top ten".

Ok, I'll accept that. I kept reverting until someone gave an explanation, heh. James 21:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing Text

In first section:

"Although based loosely on what is known of the historical figure of Aguirre, the film's story line is, as Herzog acknowledged years after the film's release, a work of imagination, notwithstanding the fact that several of the film's lead characters."

Not sure what this actually means - the part after the last comment seems incomplete.

Removed it. Muad 08:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heart of Darkness

I've been unable to locate a reliable source indicating the film's similarities to Conrad's novella. All I've found are forum and blog references, nothing from a notable critic or reference work. The wikipedia article on the novella makes the same claim, but w/out a sourced reference. While I can see the similarities, without a citation, the claim reads like Original Research. If anybody can provide a good source it would be appreciated.-Hal Raglan 16:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
