| 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)
- 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.

[edit] Information about the English narrated DVD version etc.
This is interesting information about the movie La Jetee and is a welcome addition to the article. I feel this information, regarding the preference of viewers and fans of the movie for the English narrated version of La Jetee etc., best belongs in the 'Trivia' section rather than in the introduction. Let's keep the introduction as a crisp and highly relevant summary of the film. Could someone amend the article accordingly? Thanks. Splashprince 03:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Meaning of the title
"but in this case idiomatically meaning 'The Terminal,'"
The title could also be referring to the kind of terraces on that were availible on airports before, were one could stand and watch the airplanes land and take off. --Blenda Lovelace 14:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't remember it being an
airport terminal. I remember it being an actual jetty. In 12 Monkeys it's an airport terminal. I'm taking "Terminal" out for now. --Chinasaur 05:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- It is in an airport, but it is also an actual jetty. --Chinasaur 05:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hitchcock's Vertigo reference
Please mentioned which scene from Vertigo is referenced in La Jetee. Thanks. Splashprince 04:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't make the original comment in the article, but I assume it is the scene in Big Basin with the redwood trees (Madeleine points to the tree rings and says, roughly, "here I was born, and here I died"). In Jetee, there is a scene in the museum with a big redwood tree slice. Chris Marker mentions the connection between his scene and the Hitchcock movie in Sans Soleil. This is also the scene from Vertigo that appears in 12 Monkeys. --Chinasaur
- Chinasaur, thanks for that. I now remember the scene in Vertigo where Madeleine points to the tree rings. It is similar to the scene in which the protagonist La Jetee does the same. I might add something brief about this in the article, in case some readers start to wonder. Cheers. Splashprince 14:06, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
