Talk:The Man Who Wasn't There (2001 film)

message: It says in the first paragraph of the Story section that "All of the action takes place in and around Santa Rosa, California in approximately 1949, and gets much of its period feel from being filmed in black and white."  But it's not filmed in black and white.  It's color, albeit muted tones.
:Noooo.... it's black and white. Granted, the movie was filmed in color and then PRINTED on high contrast b/w stock, but the result is that the movie is black and white, not muted color. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.111.63.98 (talk) 21:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I tagged the comparison to Camus's The Stranger, not because I disagree, but because it's original research. I think this claim, and the article as a whole, would benefit from a link to a site comparing the two. Cheesechimp 09:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I had originally under the "Analysis" section noted that the film was shot in color and transferred to black and white as evidenced by mistaken color reels being used, and noted the existence of a color DVD release in Europe.  For some reason the mention of the color DVD was dropped along with a link to a comparison page.  I restored both (and in the process accidentally made 2/3's of the article invisible due to a missing "</ref>"! Don't worry, it's now back the way it was.)  While being stuffed under the "Analysis" section is a bit cumbersome, I think it's important the article include a mention of a color DVD release and the comparison page at least somewhere.  Perhaps a "DVD Release" section is in order?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.115.82 (talk) 03:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Saw this film on TV today for the first time and enjoyed it immensely. Great acting, casting and photography!
I especially liked the bright and hazy rays of the sun coming through the jail waiting room skylight, just as with the law library scene in "Citizen Kane". 
Also, "Riedenschneider"...a very unusual name, to say the least... was the last name of the Sam Jaffe character in "The Asphalt Jungle". (A coincidence???)

message: On the sound track the 6th track is titled "Ed Returns Home (Piano Sonata, Opus 79)". It is unknown from which Beethoven sonata this is. The most famous is Piano Sonata No25, Opus 79, but the first three movements do not sound like the soundtrack of this movie at all. Maybe it's a free interpretation of the chords or something like that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.73.84.93 (talk) 01:33, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Perhaps it should be noted that the Nirdlinger's department store is an obvious reference to Phyllis Nirdlinger from the James M. Cain novel Double Indemnity (for the film adaptation, her name was changed to Dietrichson). --Jvs.cz (talk) 14:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I have temporarily protected this page, as there was edit warring between whether this was an American production of a British-American production.  Given that one of the production companies involved was the Working Title Films, it does seem it was British-American.  However, please settle the issue here before the temporary page protection expires. — Maile  (talk) 14:10, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
