Talk:Doppelgänger (1969 film)

message: I moved this page from Doppelgänger (film) so as to be in accordance of movie naming guidelines.  yes, Doppelganger (1993 film) doesnt use the umlaut, so its not exactly the same name, but...come on.  close enough.  --jfg284 you were saying? 13:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You know, I belive the film now is only known by it's alternate title.  -- Jason Palpatine 04:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: IMDB indicates that as the US title - though I recall seeing it on British TV under that title. -- Beardo 03:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The original British Doppelgänger film poster uses the umlauts above the 'A'. It also credits Ian Hendry before Roy Thinnes, presumably because Hendry was better known in the UK at the time, as he was then appearing in The Avengers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.8.242 (talk) 22:05, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

message: The addition of Antichthon as a link for the word "planet" is very clever, but since the word was never (to my knowledge) used in the film and given the fact that the Wikipedia article for that word is badly sourced, I'm wondering if it's appropriate. If the word was in fact used in the film, I suggest it be noted separately, not as a synonym for "planet" since few will click that link.  - Nhprman List 04:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the actual word itself is never used in the film.  But if you read the article, it is clearly the name historically apllied to the planet as described in the film -- counter-earth.  It was for that reason I did the link.  Remember, the planet was supposed to be a exact mirrored copy of our world situated at the L3 point of Earth's orbit.  I belive the name is applicable as naming the concept prescribed to the film's plot.  -- Jason Palpatine 04:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't the "three moons" bit from the 1973 movie "The Stranger" with Glenn Corbett and Cameron Mitchell?  I don't recall there being any scene of the characters noticing three moons.  Also, odds are that during approach, at least one of the moons should be visible.  One oddity is when they survey the planet and don't see any signs of life; doesn't Earth show at least some scant signs of life from space - e.g., city lights in the dark?

message: Not that I'm going to restore the material removed earlier without thinking about it first, but it's strange that Anderson, the co-writer and co-producer, seems confident in his recollection that the film received the Academy Award nomination while official records indicate nothing of the sort. He appears quite certain about the subject in this interview:
Question: You must have been very pleased to have been nominated for an Academy Award for the effects on the film...?
Answer: Oh yes, we were.
Hazy memories? Perhaps here the term "nomination" means "being shortlisted" rather than officially "Nominated" with a capital "n". The two book sources also seem rather unambiguous in their mentions of "nomination". On a side note, having read up on it, the talk of a Blue Ribbon Award win is strange given that these are Japanese awards, and that the programme did not run in 1969.
All quite odd. SuperMarioMan 05:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, I've seen that. Wikipedia's article on the 1969 Academy Awards makes no mention of this film, nor does IMDb hint that it received a nomination. My point is that there appears to have been at least some advancement towards one, given that at least two book sources mention it and that a senior production figure apparently has positive memories of just such a thing happening. I doubt that all three sources could be so wrong. If the film did receive some Academy attention, that would be worth noting in the article. Unfortunately, none of the sources elaborates much on its statements. Here is the wording from the Gerry Anderson biography: "In 1969 the film won a Blue Ribbon Award in Hollywood for its screenplay, and was nominated for an Academy Award for special effects. The Oscar was ultimately won by a much bigger production - Marooned ..." The phrase "nominated for an Academy Award" may not necessarily mean that the film made the final list of nominees, in which case its absence on databases would not be surprising. There is more to this, I feel. SuperMarioMan 06:28, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: * I suspect it was "submitted for consideration but never nominated", as User:Mikec32001  said. You could ping him and ask where he verified that specific info. • Ling.Nut (talk) 06:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: *Well, at any rate, the information being removed doesn't fundamentally alter the nature of the article - nothing to stress about. SuperMarioMan 02:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awards? 

message: I de-linked common words in the film article's lead sentence. Per WP:OVERLINK, the links do not aid understanding of the article. The words themselves help define the topic. It's not necessary to link to the history of all films in a given year, in a given country, or in a given genre for this topic. As a side note, in regard to genre, the main genres are quickly understood as a definition, where some sub-genres warrant linking if they are not as commonly known. A better linking approach would be to create a "See also" section since such links can then provide navigation to tangential interests. (Or embedding links in the article body, such as calling it "one of the best films of 1969".) Let me know if this is alright. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:35, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: *I'm ambivalent with regard to the edit. Perhaps a surge of blue-linked terms in the first line is off-putting, but perhaps the links would nevertheless be useful? They are, however, rather general terms, so the rationale of WP:OVERLINK appears sound in this case. SuperMarioMan 02:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

message: It is clear from the film that Jason Webb, although enfeebled, is clearly NOT demented. That would sort of ruin the whole point of the movie.
Many years later, a wheelchair-bound Jason Webb has been admitted to a nursing home. In his dementia, he sees his reflection in a mirror placed in front of a window. Rolling towards his reflected image, Webb crashes through the mirror and dies.[7]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.254.1.34 (talk) 23:26, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
