Talk:Woman in the Dunes

message: something really needs to be done about the wiki search.  i entered "woman in the dunes" into the search tool.  i got no results.   because i used lowercase letters.   but not only did the "GO" button NOT direct me to the article,  the SEARCH TOOL doesn't even come up with any hits or results.  this is disgraceful.   the wiki search is terrible.   i've had other similar experiences:  sometimes i can't even find a wiki that I'VE ALREADY READ BEFORE because i'm using a slightly slightly wrong title.  for example, if you insert a middle name into a subjects first/last name, the search tool won't find it.   it's really shameful, for an online encyclopedia.
:Due to the rapidly increasing levels of traffic that Wikipedia attracts, it is sometimes necessary to disable the search tool in order to improve performance. As Wikimedia purchases more computer hardware, this should becoma less of a problem in the near future. Rje 15:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: wiki search

message: I think the synopsis needs to clarify if it is speaking of the book or movie, because there are plot differences to the two stories. I don't have a clear memory of the story to say with confidence that they entry is correct for both of them.
:The synopsis refers to the movie only, I wrote the section and have not read the book. We should include a further section detailing differences between the two, although obviously I am unable to dothis myself. I changed the section title to make it clear that the synopsis is of the film. Rje 15:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The novel is separately notable, and requires its own article, with information on the Japanese edition and any and all English translations.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:49, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Book or Movie

message: "At the end of the film Junpei gets his chance to escape, but he chooses to prolong his stay in the dune, in part because the woman is already pregnant with his child."  That last clause isn't stated in the film; it's the article's inference, at best.  The film makes the decision to stay seem absurd, as if Junpei has come to prefer his life in the pit.  Perhaps the novel makes the point about the child, but if so, then the film chooses to omit it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.66.85.99 (talk) 13:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Summary Inaccurate

message: Regarding your recent cleanup edit, I agree with most of your changes except I'm not so sure about the plot changes. Specifically the removal of the lines "and to have a child with her" and "He requests time to watch the nearby sea, and the villagers offer to grant it if he makes love to the woman while they watch, but she fends him off." Now for the former that's probably just my personal interpretation and redundant to him becoming her husband, but the latter was one of the most intense scenes in the film and important to the plot as a whole which deals with his struggle for freedom and his relation to the women. It shows how he has changed from someone completely rebellious against the villagers to becoming at their mercy, desperate for any respite, even dehumanizing him and her both in the process.
