Talk:20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film)

message: Someone created another article for this film (not surprisingly since there are so many version!); the two should be merged, preferably under this title, since it's aligned with the naming conventions. Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship♥ 17:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Nemo-shah.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

I'm a user from the German Wikipedia and I wanted to ask you to put the pictures of this article into the Commons, so that we are able to use them, too. Thank you very much. --84.137.75.125 11:25, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This article starts out objectively enough but then launches into an analysis by someone who doesn't even try to hide their unabashed adoration for the film.  Hey, I like the movie too, but this is supposed to be an objective article, not a love fest.  Minaker (talk) 09:57, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I've long been impressed with Earl Felton's script, which focuses on the story's moral elements. (Not having read the novel, I don't know how accurately it reflects the original.) There isn't much information about Felton, and not even a Wikipedia stub for him. His seemingly tragic life would make an interesting article -- his legs were paralyzed from polio, and he committed suicide at a fairly early age.

message: Anyone care to write a section on differences with the Book. The only thing the book and the film seem to have in common is a submarine.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.198.145.187 (talk) 07:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: that's why I came in here! I am generally interested in "differences between book and movie," "differences between stage musical and screen," and whatnot. But that's just me... I don't know if it leans to heavily into trivia -- which has largely been removed from Wikipedia articles.PurpleChez (talk) 18:24, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't generally list differences other than those that have been discussed by reliable sources. We're not IMDb, and as such we limit our focus to the differences considered significant enough to have garnered attention from third parties. Hope this helps. DonIago (talk) 18:32, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

text: , whether or not writing about differences is trivial depends on the approach and the sourcing. We have some guidelines at WP:FILMDIFF to consider. Ideally, we want to include the most noteworthy differences as indicated by reliable sources. Otherwise, there would be dozens, if not hundreds, of possible differences, with no guidance for which are the most important. For what it's worth, I started a "Differences between novel and film" section starting with one source. I was not finding other sources right away, but they're likely out there. For an example of a more complete section, I wrote Apt Pupil (film)#Differences between novella and film. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 20:33, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the info! Like I said, I generally like that kind of info. And - if it's a topic that you are interested in - it might be important to know, for instance, that the order of musical numbers in The Sound of Music varied significantly between the stage and screen versions. But I've also seen it taken too far. I'm making this up, but stuff like "In 'The Two Towers' Sam Gamgee is described as being left-handed, but in Peter Jackson's films he is presented as right-handed." Thanks again.PurpleChez (talk) 13:21, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

message: Editors are adding non-essential details to a plot summary that is already somewhat over the guidelines established at WP:FILMPLOT. I welcome them to discuss their changes and why they should trump the guideline. DonIago (talk) 18:00, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur that the plot summary needs to be kept short per Wikipedia's policy of having "a concise summary" when it comes to works of fiction. As Doniago mentions above, the plot summary should be between 400 and 700 words. The goal of having a summary is to provide an understanding of the film so the rest of the article can be comprehended. It's not meant to replace watching the film. Really, we should aim for the middle of that word-count range. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:56, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

message: "Under" is a preposition. Shouldn't it be in lowercase in the title?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.119.190 (talk) 13:51, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've always seen it capitalized, and the acronym for it is 20kLUtS, so my guess would be no. Good question, though. 143.55.59.110 (talk) 19:57, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
