# Talk:Miracle at St. Anna

To Errolbarnes: Naomi Campbell is in, look at the IMDB, Shia LeBoeuf, as far as i know, is out.
-- LiquidCat
Shia's in according to this article in Variety [1]
They've been wrong before though.. Errolbarnes 00:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Ok, i had a look around and looks like he's in so i've provisionally re-integrated him. I'm waiting for a call-sheet from a friend who's in production. -- Liquidcat  —Preceding comment was added at 11:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC) 

I removed Luigi Lo Cascio and James Gandolfini. They have not been mentioned in recent articles about the movie and I can't find much in the way of reliable sources that put them in the film otherwise. It's irrelevant to Wikipedia guidelines that I have it on good authority from the stuio that they are not in the film, but it may help to explain my confidence in these edits. Meanwhile, the addition of Sciabordi can be sourced to THR.com[2]. NMS Bill (talk) 17:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Soldierofchicago (talk) 21:43, 14 July 2008 (UTC)soldierofchicago I saw the trailer to the movie. I've notice that Spike is using American half tracks painted earth gray as German halftracks. War movies are very expensive to make so it's a hard task maintaining accuracy. This should'nt be the only movie about Black soldiers in World War II. My father served with the 761st Tank Battalion in Northern Europe so he was in the thick of it as well.

Removing external links that should be used as references not links. Also removing links that are already used as sources (Rotten Tomatoes), are not appropriate (a blog), not needed (see WP:EL). The ones that could potentially be used as sources are:

Lee film to honour black soldiers, BBC News, 7 June 2007
Spike Lee gets ready to do battle with Miracle at St Anna, The Telegraph, 02/05/2008
Spike Lee drama spotlights blacks' forgotten WWII role, The Age, May 25, 2008   Cptnono (talk) 22:02, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Skipped on in the Plot section. --94.246.150.68 (talk) 20:56, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I'll be glad to take this review. Initial comments to follow in the next 1-3 days. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:35, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


### Initial comments
Overall this looks quite strong and ripe for promotion. It perhaps relies a bit heavily on the the film's press materials, but none of this information seems particularly controversial and overall it does a good job of covering the subject neutrally. I did a few prose tweaks as I went; please feel free to revert any you disagree with.
Here's some points I couldn't immediately resolve myself:

"which he believes to carry magical powers" -- is "he" Sam or the boy here?
"during the massacre at St. Anna" -- what massacre was this? I'm not sure I follow.
could a sentence about Renata's role in the plot be added to the plot summary?
"The first ten days of filming took place in the Serchio River" -- should this be on the river? Or did the whole sequence literally take place in the water? (I haven't seen this movie, in case it's not obvious from my comments so far).
" A scene that recreates the Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre was shot on the actual location where the atrocity took place" -- I'm still not clear what role this massacre has in the movie's plot.
" Lucas generously allowed" -- It's a minor point, but "generously" seems both POV and unneeded here.
"the film currently has a 34% rating" -- "currently" should be rewritten as "As of" or some other formulation to avoid going out of date per WP:REALTIME
Could you add what the acronym ANPI stands for? -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:25, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I have read your initial comments, and fixed as much as I could. -- User:FrankRizzo2006 (talk) 24:50, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, I think that covers all of the above. I'll start the checklist now and see if there's anything left. -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


### Checklist
"an ensemble cast that includes Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Laz Alonso, Omar Benson Miller, Pierfrancesco Favino and Valentina Cervi."

That would not be considered an ensemble cast.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.28.91.249 (talk) 01:17, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
