Talk:The Stepford Wives (2004 film)

message: This "article" hardly reads like an encyclopedia entry! Rather, it sounds like someone's personal opinion. As a movie review it's fine; but wikipedia is not a soapbox to present your opinions. The following sentences strongly smell of POV and Film Review to me:
*"Motivated by what they surely hoped would strike audiences as a witty twist, this movie's abandonment of the original film's feminism leaves it without a clear message" 
*"the end ... is preachy, politically correct, and unsatisfying to those who have read the novel or seen the 1975 film" 
*"the entire message of Levin's work is lost due to the Disney-fying of the ending" 
*"This tenor is a full pendulum-swing away from the original message of Levin's novel, and is an overcompensating bow to political correctness and the sensitive-man movement"
This article needs a big cleanup to establish neutral POV. Remember: we're here to write an encyclopedia, not to preach opinions or warn audiences about box office bombs. Keep it neutral. 66.17.118.207 15:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikipedia is Not a Movie Review

message: The plot synopsis says the real women were trapped underground, but in the movie I saw (and I am currently watching it on cable as I type this), that never happens.  Matthew Broderick deactivates the computer chips and all the people at the party begin acting normally again, as if they were never robots, just being controlled. (oh no they don't - e.g. they crush the remotes with their bare hands. Robots with brain-program implanted and modified maybe - there should be a link to the brain-in-a-vat category of philiosophical conundrums, cause it all leads to those)
This has led many critics to dislike the movie because it's not certain whether they are robots or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.196.83.29 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously they (writers) didn't know what direction they wanted to go. If you're a Doctor Who fan then think of the Day of the Doctor in which the aliens had to keep their victims alive to copy their forms and something similar could have been done in an extra scene where the real wives (and Roger) were kept in vats with their minds being controlled and their thoughts projected into the robots. When the chips failed the real personalities came through the robots but eventually the real wives (and Roger) were released from the vats and the robots destroyed. Of course that would be the easiest way to get around the huge plot hole the writers got themselves into. I'd love to see this move remade with a similar ending. 66.191.11.76 (talk)   — Preceding undated comment added 07:13, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot Inaccuracy?

message: As some of the posts above indicate, this article reads like a film review and is lacking a general synopsis of what the film is.  I would expand it myself but I have not viewed the movie. -Rolypolyman 22:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Plot synopsis has been expanded. Hope it is satisfactory. Zhukora (talk) 12:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Expand

message: Perhaps Dark Comedy would be a better description of the type. Afterall, The topic would be horrific (people replaced by robots) if it wasn't made light of so much. Jon 04:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Am I the only one seeing errors in the page's formating with Clean up and straying boxes bleeding into the sidebar with the information on the film? Dragonranger 20:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see it too, the formatting is horribly effed up.  I don't have the skills to fix it, though.  Hopefully someone who does will stumble upon it and tweak it. Captain Infinity 02:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.
