Talk:Vanishing point

message: Curves do not have vanishing points, only lines have them and they share with their parallels. The following text was removed, being unreferenced, and misleading:
:Vanishing points can also refer to the point in the distance where the edges of the roadway appear to converge. Movement of the vanishing point can help assess the upcoming curves in the road. If the vanishing point moves towards you or to your sides, the curve radius is reducing, so speed should be reduced. If the vanishing point moves away from you or comes to center, the curve is straightening.

message: In the section on vanishing lines the article states that "All vanishing lines end at the horizon line". This seems to be incorrect. According to my understanding, a vanishing line is defined as the line at which the projections of two parallel planes intersect. Thus, while any two planes that are parallel with the ground plane will intersect on the horizon line, any two parallel planes that are not also parallel with the ground plane will produce a vanishing line that is not on the horizon. To take one example, in a linear perspectival representation of a cube, the top of the cube and the bottom of the cube both sit on planes that are parallel with the ground plane, if these two planes are projected backwards they will intersect on the horizon line, however the left hand side of the cube and the right hand side of the cube sit on parallel planes that are perpendicular to the ground plane (they are vertical planes) and if these two planes are projected backwards until they intersect they will form a vanishing line that is vertical. 
My understanding of the concept of the "vanishing line" comes mainly from the French wikipedia article for the "ligne de fuite": https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_de_fuite
This article seems to suggest that while any two parallel lines meet at a vanishing point, or "point de fuite", any two parallel planes meet at a vanishing line, or "ligne de fuite". Just as vanishing points are normally on the horizon line but can in theory lie anywhere, vanishing lines tends to be contiguous with the horizon line, but they too can lie anywhere else.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.86.177.160 (talk) 09:39, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

message: I suspect that "equestro-" refers, not to horses, but to equestrians. As for "equestropo-", I'm puzzled (could the "-po-" come from "anthropo-"?), but as a prefix to -morphism referring to horses, something closer to the Latin word for horse, something based on "equus", perhaps, would seem to be appropriate. I've seen "equi-" used, but that doesn't seem right. Perhaps "equo-" or "equuo-" would be more in keeping with convention. 172.56.26.18 (talk) 07:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

message: There are a few things I find objectionable in the following:
:"The tendency of viewing human behaviour in terms of the behaviour of animals, analogous to anthropomorphism, which views animal behaviour in human terms"
For one, "the tendency of" seems inappropriate. Also, "viewing" is too narrow, and so is "behaviour". "In terms of" says "terms" are used, which isn't necessarily true. What anthropomorphism does isn't identified correctly.
Perhaps this might be better: "The attribution of traits associated with animals to humans or other things, as anthropomorphism attributes human traits, or humanizes, non-human things." 172.56.27.49 (talk) 07:59, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

The apparent disconnect between the lead, article and images should probably be addressed with a general introduction and subheading for the various kinds of Zoomorphism, with fitting images. jonas (talk) 22:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I just removed a fair bit of POV, but there's still more I didn't get. I didn't come here to improve this article, however. I've never seen the entire movie. I did watch a fair amount of it on television with my cousin when I twelve years old. I wondered then why the title character was obviously so unhappy and bored. My cousin said that this was because he didn't really write his books himself; he was a plagiarist. Was my cousin right? I came here to find out. Or maybe Bubbles's books are crass commercial exploitations. If there is an explanation, whatever it is, then this article should tell us. On the other hand, if there is no explanation, then the movie itself would seem to me fairly pointless. TheScotch (talk) 08:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Charlie is bored because, materially, he has everything, and therefore nothing to strive for or look forward to, and his 'successful', deracinated life is arid and vapid. (The privileged box at Old Trafford means his son can't really enjoy the game with the crowd, that crowd emotion being kind of the point of watching football.) But the old schoolfriend journalist, still stuck in Manchester, who of course claims that people have 'false values' down south, is clearly intended to be seen as making an envious show of sour grapes: he's in touch with his roots, sure, but he'd leave for the glamour and money and excitement of London at the first opportunity, as the Beatles unsurprisingly left Liverpool. Halliwell's Film & Video Guide 1999, HarperCollins, London, 1998, ISBN 0-00-653013-3, p.146, says of Charlie Bubbles (which it awards three stars out of four), 'in its unassuming way it indicts many of the symbols people lived by in the sixties.' I think that means both celebrity-worshipping bourgeois consumerist affluence and supposedly honest northern grit (which was a very fashionable trope at the time). There is a difficulty in that we don't know what kind of writer Charlie is. He might write thrillers, but the suggestion is that he is a northern 'literary' writer adopted by the Establishment, like Alan Sillitoe (Finney made his name and fortune in a Sillitoe screen adaptation, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, which made the writer's name and fortune too) or David Storey (who also had a big hit with This Sporting Life, again adapted for a successful British New Wave film, which made Richard Harris a big star), even though Charlie's lifestyle is a bit grander than theirs. This might in turn give an added explanation for his boredom and accidie, because, having gladly left that northern working-class life behind, he no longer has anything much to write about: he has lost the thing that made him famous.
