Talk:Becoming Jane

message: For God's sake, it's as though this article's been written entirely by the studio who distributed it! It's not neutral in the slightest, filled with weasel words such as using "gorgeous" to describe the costumes used in the film. It needs a rewrite. Crazy Eddy 16:04, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I've taken out some of the more egregious adjectives, but it still needs a lot of work.  In my opinion, the article has too many passages from the film; for example, is "Joe Anderson was an attractive Henry Austen and as an Oxford militia officer, he had the opportunity to wear a beautiful scarlet uniform, which invited a particular comment from Eliza de Feullide (‘Scarlet looks good in you’). He also wore a brown overcoat during his walk with Jane and Eliza." (in the Costumes section) necessary?  ANyone have any thoughts?  CaptainJae 20:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering if there aren't too many pictures in this article?  Nine, that I counted.  All very nice, yes, but I wonder if all are needed to illustrate this movie? Elbeonore 05:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Pictures

message: Sorry people, but this page is still technically a stub until it has a plot synopsis of some kind. Since this page is already quite long, it might be worthwhile cutting down some of the more superfluous stuff (such as the very long "Dances", "Costumes", and "Trivia" sections), or at least moving them to a separate sub-page. -- Grandpafootsoldier 20:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm for moving them to a sub-page, as I find this sort of information very interesting and one of the reasons I come to wiki in the first place.

thread_title: Still a stub

message: Hi all, I'v added two templates as the article is not organized properly, in need of much referencing, rather POV, and there is no seperate synopsis (plot summary). Also, I call into question the costuming sections, they should be pared down into one section if thry are deemed completely necesary. There was mention that parts of this article are copy/pasted from other websites; if so please delete all said violations. Thank you. Zidel333 15:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Templates Added  

message: I think this article is missing some specific information about how Jane Austen's life has inspired her books, which is one of the main reasons that this film was made and why this film was so interesting.  It would be comprehensive to capture some of the (more direct) references the film made to the novels. I think this could be another subsection by itself.  Please feel free to edit/add more references! --Chacciaz 15:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, most of this film is FICTIONALIZED. There is no evidence to support the idea that events from jane Austen's supposed love life directly inspired the plots of her novels.  The references the film makes to Austen's novels (through made up events from Austen's life) should be taken with a large grain of salt, along the vein of Shakespeare in Love.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.237.255 (talk) 22:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mr. Wisley is Anne de Burgh? 

message: The article says that it was ironic that she did not live by her pen, publishing anonomously.  But the main Jane Austin page disagrees.  And indeed one could pubish anonomously and still get proceeds from the writing, which it appears she did.  It is true that she got much more popular and widely read after her death, but it appears she was comfortable with the proceeds of her writing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigmac31 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
