message: Cassie and other Watchers, while on some occasions exhibiting a minor talent for Clairvoyance, are more commonly shown to be using Precognition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precognition
Cassie even says it herself in the movie: "I see the future not the past." Clairvoyance is seeing remote things, Precognition is seeing the future.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.21.161 (talk) 08:26, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

It looks like to avoid confusion it is being referred to as "PUSH: BASED ON A NOVEL BY SAPPHIRE"

thread_title:  There are two 2009 films Push 

message: Stephen King's novel Firestarter features a character who has the psychic ability to "push" thoughts and emotions into other people's minds, like hypnosis. He even refers to it as "pushing".

replies: text: I'm not sure your question is about etymology so much as whether this movie could be said to have stolen the concept of psychic "pushing", but interestingly etymology would shed light on your question.  In this instance it may or may not have been inspired by Stephen King (I have no idea), but the concept of "pushing" one's thoughts on others is a far older one. In the definition of the verb "to push" is both the notion of physical force (such as "to shove"), but "push" also means "to coerce or persuade" or "to promote". In the context of psychic pushing you could almost say it contains a couple of the definitions simultaneously... both that thoughts are being metaphorically "shoved" into your head, but also that those thoughts are usually coercive (i.e. "put the gun in your mouth"). http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/push  <-- for further reading if you actually do want to see the proper etymology.  The fascination with the idea of forcing one's ideas onto someone else is older than Firestarter. 99.244.123.31 (talk) 06:53, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

*Support since Push: Based on a Novel by Sapphire seems frequently used... seems like the media is disambiguating the films, so we don't have to. :) —Erik (talk • contrib) 22:47, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: I added a new section, Premise, before the Plot section, and I moved most of the information from the Cast and characters section into it.  As it was, the plot section was rather freely using the in-universe terms for the special abilities, which weren't explained until the following section.  By explaining the abilities first, the terms can continue to be used in the plot summary.  I took a lot of information out of the descriptions of the powers, because I don't remember any of that information being presented in the film; I simplified them to simply describe what was seen on screen, in terms of conventional paranormal abilities whenever possible.  The plot summary needs a lot of work, as well, so I'll take a crack at that later if nobody else does first.  --DavidK93 (talk) 14:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Premise Section 

message: Whoever wrote that plot section should either be re-educated in the ways of synopsis writing, given decent English lessons, learn to spell-check or, failing all three, be shot. Please, editors, if you're not up to it, don't force your particularly unique and severely lacking version of the English language upon the world. Just don't. 207.164.158.194 (talk) 01:48, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrote Plot section

message: I just notice that this film along with Coraline were opened at the box office on the same weekend. Their relation is that Dakota Fanning were born in these movies. I'm just asking that can we mention that Coraline received a higher number and more money than Push did at the box office. talk 22:43, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: i am pretty sure that different watchers see the future in different way and that while the chinese girl could see the future with the intent of others i dont think that is the only way like i think that american girl can see it as snapshots or somthing(not relly sure) and that hers can be changed just by knowing and talking about it while the chinese girls can be change if the targets intetions change or if they have none at all.the article say watchers can only see it through intentions so i wanted to see if anyone else disagrees before i change it and mess it up?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.162.25 (talk) 08:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Why is there stuff in here about the psychics, their history, and their abilities that in nowhere in the film?! The Po father was trained in the 1970s as an assassin? Movers really use "Kinetic signature control, where movers are near and identify atomic waves and alter the gravity around them"?! If you want to write FanFic, go write FanFic.

replies: text: Presumably the facts are being taken from the comics. I agree though, that they don't belong on the article for the movie. 210.254.117.186 (talk) 13:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

message: It says on the 1st section that the film got generally negative reviews. But on the Reception section, it got a positive review.
The article is contradicting with itself, need to clarify this and state some sources. Vekou (talk) 09:16, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Release Date 

message: I know it's more detailed than most, but this movie is incomprehensible for a lot of people.  After watching it and not understanding more than 10 seconds of it, I was thrilled to find this synopsis.  This is a complicated movie, and it needs a plot summary helps people understand it.

thread_title:  Don't shorten the plot section 

message: This film is clearly a heist. It fulfills all the descriptions I've sen about heist films. Yeah, they have powers that use to perform the heist, but it isn't very different to abilities used in heist. They have to gather a troupe of people with unique abilities, each one with different reasons, some for the money, some for vengeance, etc... to fool the other parties and obtain their objective, and even if you are watching all the preparations, you don't see the real plan until the plot is unraveled at the end. It's a heist! 88.1.245.99 (talk) 21:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heist 

message: The article currently says "Nick devises a plan that involves seven envelopes in which he places instructions; each person in the group is entrusted with one red envelope, and none are to be opened until the right time" - is it just me, or were there only six envelopes? One for Nick, Cassie, Kira, Emily, Hook, and Pinky. Who else got an envelope? Aielyn (talk) 04:37, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wo Chiang. Nick gives him it before getting wiped. Presumably it says to make sure Nick wakes up with *his* envelope in his hands, then make himself scarce. (It's clearly not the same envelope, "Go Home" would not make sense as an instruction to Wo Chiang on his own house-boat! I suspect it doesn't mention going to save Cassie later, that was probably set up by her mother, even if it wasn't mentioned when Nick went to get wiped. I guess it could do though.) 86.9.109.71 (talk) 01:17, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seven envelopes? 

message: There seem to be a major addition to this section but there is no references to support it.
I suggest either to revert back to the old revision or provide references to it.
Right now, I am putting a accuracy dispute on this section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daron82 (talk • contribs) 04:09, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Types of Superhumans 

message: TO my eye, that section was nothing more than the same type of fancruft that plagues articles for horror movies (where editors frequently try to add detailed lists of how every character was killed).  THe references used for the opening paragraph were nothing more than a handful of reviews that didn't really pertain to the topic and the details under each type were interpretive at best.  If there's ever any actual secondary sources discussing the types of psychics in real world terms somehow, such a section might be warranted.  Millahnna (talk) 20:22, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
