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.

[edit] Removal of "Themes" section

I think that the Themes section should be removed, or atleast be given an overhaul to include relevant themes.. It is quite a weak link to make, as there are many better themes that could be written about than the American dream. --ChinaNailStorm 18:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. That section reads much like a high-school essay in which a clichéd, rather arbitrary "theme" (the American Dream) is being forced upon a film that actually deals with more universal themes, and in a much more subtle and sophisticated manner than the crude "analysis" would suggest. The section could also be viewed as a kind of editorializing apropos the film rather than an attempt at analysis. Even though it is a good-faith contribution, it is speculative and un-encyclopedic. I am going to remove it. --Bwiki 02:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. It's original "analysis," albeit flawed, akin to original research.207.69.137.13 05:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Producer credit

The primary producers on the film were Vachon, Koffler, and Wlodkowski. Jeremy Barber was listed as the sole producer, which is inaccurate and incorrect. Barber was one of three credited executive producers, which is a less important and more honorary credit than "producer." I have corrected accordingly.207.69.137.13 05:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blood in the dream sequence?

Having used to work at a Rite-Aid one hour photo, I think the fluid that shoots from Williams' eyes during the dream sequence looks more like the fluid waste buildup from the photo machines. However someone who hasn't used such a machine probably would not know what the fluid looks like, therefore it is just as likely to be blood. I just wonder if maybe it bears inclusion. I won't add it though unless others think it's worth mentioning. Levid37 11:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
