Talk:Elite Squad

message: For the sake of the real world PMERJ and BOPE, since the book in which the movie is based is partly-fictional (and, perhaps, with a lot of stereotypes regardind police brutality and procedures), I cleaned the synopsis and give it a better clean-looking face. --Officer Boscorelli (talk) 14:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too many stereotypes 

message: On Oct. 24th, I added a paragraph to this article where Anderson Silva quoted a line from "Tropa de Elite" in talking about his recent UFC victory.  I'd like to know why the paragraph was removed.  It was important that a Brazilian film (largely unknown to American audiences) was referenced in an American event which was seen by millions all over the world.  Anderson's reference had no political connotations with respect to the United States, so it couldn't be seen as inflammatory.  Unless I'm just missing something, it seems stupid to remove the paragraph.

replies: text: There are two guidelines/policies your contribution runs into conflict with. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and I have to say this piece of information is rather trivial. In the case of trivia or other information that would fit those "In popular culture" sections, WP:TRIVIA provides a guideline for inclusion which I don't think the article meets right now, at least not at the current depth it is at. Once people start developing on the cultural impact of the movie, we can start mentioning individual examples of celebrities quoting the movie or whatever else it may be. So, in a nutshell, it's a standalone fact which is trivial, but that may change once people expand the article to talk about the social impact of the movie.--Dali-Llama 18:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anderson Silva's quote 

message: I'd like to know if is it really necessary to keep the whole "television rights" section. I believe the only thing there that has any sort of relevance is the bit about Rede Globo winning a dispute with other brazilian TV stations over the production of a series based on the film (under the direction of José Padilha). Can't we just delete the unimportant stuff? Who really cares about distribution rights to broadcast the film in Brazil, untrue rumors and that "RedeTV! is offering about 7.5 million dollars" for the series (dated information)? Just wondering if those are "wiki-worthy" material...

thread_title:  Television rights dispute 

message: I just watched the DVD, and in the director interview (in the bonus section), José Padilha says that the book was actually based on the early version of the screenplay and the research that he did to put together the screenplay.  Several websites, though, say that the book, which was released in 2006, is what the film (2007) was based on, but from the DVD commentary it seemed clear that the story is more complicated and that the film (at least as a basic screenplay) proceeded the book. For documentation of this point, you can see this quote: "Padilha afirma que o filme não é uma adaptação do livro. 'O roteiro já estava pronto quando mostramos ao Luis Eduardo. Só que é mais fácil lançar um livro do que fazer um filme', brinca."

thread_title:  the screenplay proceeded the book 

message: That, presumably, is a currency conversion. If so, it should be indicated as such, and footnoted to indicate when the conversion was made. The exchange rate from when?
Budget R$11 million (US$6,537,890.04)
It could be formatted like that.
As for 4 cents, that adds 2 significant digits, so eliminate the pennies.
