Talk:Ring (film)

message: There is an Iranian movie called "The Rings" (Zanghu) which may have been influential on the Ring movie and novel it was based on.  This movie is mentioned in the Wikipedia database as The Rings.  It was directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf.  Of course, this film is about a telephone call that causes mysterious death.  A very loose connection but it may hold water.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.13.148.189 (talk) 13:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Re: the revert of my edit, removing the "Korean Cinema" category.  Yes, there is a Korean re-make of Ringu, but it has a different title, the ring virus.  I think my edit should stand, and if necessary, there should be a separate page for the remake.  As it stands, this page is primarily about the original film, Ringu, which is Japanese.  If we are including remakes, why shouldn't it also be in the "American cinema" category as well, since there was a US remake?  I'm removing the category again, please comment here if you think it should be re-instated, with some reasoning. -- Generica 03:55, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

message: That picture really freaked me out, as I hopped onto this page expecting to find plot information. I've blocked the picture in my browser, but is it possible to find a less disturbing picture? --Euniana 05:15, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You find it disturbing? I really don't know. It does nothing to me, and as you can see, it's the DVD cover. Something you'd see normally on a rental place. I don't know about the others, but I have no problems with it.--Kaonashi 05:44, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I too think it's somewhat frightening at first.  Can we simply replace that picture with a picture of the U.S. DVD cover?  Or even better, a picture of the film's theatrical poster, as that seems to be the convention for most Wikipedia articles about movies.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.245.156 (talk) 00:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no problem with the DVD cover.  Posters are preferred, according to the style guidelines, but one DVD cover is as good as another.  Geoff B 02:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I edited the bit which said: In the novel, it is never known that Sadako comes out of a TV to kill those who have watched the tape, it only implies this. In the movie this is shown directly.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't find any implication of this in the book. I don't see any evidence that this was intended by the author, and it's quite possible it was introduced for the movie. Note that both in the book and the movie, there are characters who die who are nowhere near a TV - this isn't a problem in the original book which says nothing about coming out of a TV, but it is a puzzle introduced by the movie.

message: "Since the main character in the novel is a man, Ryuji Takayama is just a friend not an ex-husband in the movie."
Is it just me, or does this sound kinda funny? Like Ryuji Takayama is a friend in the movie, and an ex-husband in the novel? Is that... right?--71.254.40.140 06:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: What is so horrifying about Ring? I wasn't horrified in the least. Someone explain in this article why this film was so successful that it spawned two sequels and English versions. Yokosuberi (talk) 17:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Me too, i'm not horrified with movie.It didn't gave the scares, but it gave me the chills. Well, i've just put the "reception" section in that article. To say at least, you may understand the reason behind its blockbuster success. I just inserted what i've researched about the people's "say" about the movie (check the refs if you want). And i'm trying to find some critical reviews on it so I can also know what those critics want to say. I think you didn't liked the film. Everyone has opinions and not all are the same. Some might liked it, others not. You just said yours.

replies: text: ,oh thanks for help, i'm not that good in grammar, so sorry! Neffyring (talk) 10:35, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I edited the reception section a bit.  The previous review seemed a bit more of a plot summary, so I replaced that with a different review.  I noticed there was a positive - negative dialogue going, so I kept to that format, but decided to use reviews that provided a bit more of a critical dialogue.  Hope that adds to the section!

thread_title:  Review 

message: Ring (リング Ringu?) is a 1998 Japanese horror film by Hideo Nakata, adapted from the  novel Ring by Kōji Suzuki, which in turn draws on the Japanese folk tale Banchō Sarayashiki. The film stars Nanako Matsushima, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Rikiya Ōtaka . It follows the story of tv-reporter and single mother Reiko, who gets caught up in a series of death’s surrounding a cursed video tape. 
The entire production took approximately 9 months,http://www.horschamp.qc.ca/new_offscreen/nakata.html and was then followed up by numerous films creating a Ring-universe and triggering a western trend of Japanese remakes.
The film is the highest grossing horror film in Japan at 12 billion yen ($137.7 million).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekatkormilitsyna (talk • contribs) 12:00, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Influence on Western Cinema 

message: This article is poorly developed and is missing significant amounts of information on the film's production, release, and reception which needs to be added to the article. Information on the film's production should include information on the film's development, pre-production, and filming; each should be separated into their own sub-sections within the article's production section. The release section is too short and needs to be expanded in more detail. The release section should have more information on the film's theatrical and home media releases and go into more detail on the film's box office performance with theatrical and home media releases divided into their own sub sections within the release section. The reception section is also way too short and should include more reviews from notable critics (both Japanese and International). For more information on the article structure,  see Manual of Style/Film. There are also pieces of information that are unsourced or improperly sourced and need to be fixed. All of these issues need to be fixed and added in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a well developed article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
