Talk:Hard Candy (film)

message: In the movie, Jeff says to Hayley "When you're 80 I'll be 94." Would this not make Jeff twenty-eight years old?
:I cannot remember the exact lines, but I did in fact work it out when I was watching it than he is 32 years old. Schizmatic 18:21, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I just saw the film and he says he'd be 98, so yeah, 32 is right. Driller thriller 22:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Watching the movie I got the clear idea that Hayley tricked Jeff into believing she had castrated him.  To my mind he wouldn't have been able to jump around so much if she had really done so.  However the current version of the plot summary seems to treat the castration scene as factual.  I haven't seen the shooting script or anything from the director or writer on this scene.  Is it made clear either way?  Are there any strong opinions on whether he is or is not castrated? --Tony Sidaway 14:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He wasn't castrated. Jeff says "I'm all here" when he breaks free of the ropes. In the commentary, the director also says straight up that he was not casterated, apoligizing to people confused on this point when watching the film. I'm currently working on rewriting the plot section btw, which I so hate doing. Writing a summary that covers all major points and isn't too detailed/long sucks and is hard to do.--SeizureDog 15:10, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I know it's hard work.  I much appreciate your making the effort. --Tony Sidaway 16:06, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. It's been a while since I've tried to get an article to GA status so this is my current pet project. I just really hate working on plot and reception sections. Ugh.--SeizureDog 16:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The picture is clearly an allusion to Little Red Riding Hood, and the trap is obviously intended to catch a man (there are no bears in the film).  I've changed the caption accordingly. --Tony Sidaway 04:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the wording "as" to "resembling". As mentioned in the "thematic elements" section, the relation to Little Red Riding Hood was not intentional. I'm uncertain as to if the connection was caught early enough for US marketing purposes, so it is debatable as to if the poster was made that way on purpose. --SeizureDog 05:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "The soundstage was based on Higgins' home, in case their budget did not allow them to use a soundstage." Who is Higgins? This question was posed in-article by a vandal. Could someone check the edit log and see when this appears? J1.grammar natz (talk) 00:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

message: On the officiell site of the film they say that Janelle Roberts was played by Jennifer Holmes. Does anybody know why? because after I googled pictures of both actresses it seems to be clear that the film does not star Jennifer Holmes but Odessa Rae. Has anyone an explanation for this?90.128.73.29 (talk) 16:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The plot summary is badly incomplete, but I don't remember the movie well enough to finish it. The plot summary is also badly in need of some copy editing. Raywin42 (talk) 17:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I've removed the crime genre in the lead. The Ebert source mentions several genres, so we shouldn't cherry pick them. And who would say this is a romance? Gluh. It doesen't even say "crime thriller" in the Ebert lead. According to AllMovie, "A type of crime film that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. Unlike police procedurals, crime thrillers focus on a criminal/criminals rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasize action over psychological aspects - murders, robberies, chases, shootouts and double-crosses are central ingredients. Reservoir Dogs, The Asphalt Jungle, The Getaway and The Killing are prime examples.
source" This doesn't apply. I've changed the source accordingly. Thoughts? Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:25, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thriller seems fine.  Very easy to source, too.  Almost all of the Google search results call it a thriller, though some are a little more specific. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:41, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  But both main characters in Hard Candy are criminals, Hayley is a vigilante and Jeff a pedophile rapist. Deloop82 (talk) 06:35, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: They're both breaking the law, yes, but that does not automatically make it a 'crime' film per se. I prefer the current choice of 'thriller' as well as per Andrzejbanas' reasoning. Freikorp (talk) 09:58, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: They are both breaking the law, but the crime film isn't as simple as that. If it were the case, every slasher film would be a crime film as these guys are running our killing people. I'll admit the crime genre is relatively loosely defined, but this film seems to be focused on a different situation than the life of a criminal as it is putting people in exciting circumstances they didn't expect. I know that original research and I'm not trying to apply it here, but if you are trying to use the Ebert source, you should not just pick and choose the genres you want from that article. He also calls it a romance(!?), by this logic, you should be adding it as well. Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:32, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Please change every reference of Ellen Page to Elliot Page and pronouns from she to he. The actor came out as transgender on twitter, so this needs to be updated. 173.216.168.112 (talk) 00:54, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: So you are here again to criticize my and other editors' discussions and consensus? I presume this is you too, one of your IPs at least, that was reverted by multiple editors and yet kept undoing to your preferred wording while disregarding the article in question, ignoring MOS:GENDERID that was shown as a revert reason in the edit summary, and violating the RFC. Continuous/deliberate misgendering and deadnaming are part of transphobia. What you are doing is uncivil, not mine or others. I am not surprised by this IP editor's edits here, given the history of their edits and numerous unregistered accounts. ภץאคгöร 09:25, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
