Talk:In Bruges

message: The Plot section of the article appears to be either from a studio press release or lifted from either contactmusic.com or geeksofdoom.com. The second link lists the copy as the "Official Synopsis" so I'm fairly certain it is from the studio. I'm going to add it to Wikipedia:Copyright problems. —A 03:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

message: :"In Bruges was the opening night film of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.[1] The film opened in limited release in the United
:States on February 8, 2008, premiered at the Dublin Film Festival on February 15, 2008"
Huh? How can a film "premiere" at the Dublin Film Festival on Feb 15 having shown in January at Sundance and opening all over the U.S. on Feb 8th? This should at least qualify this with "Irish premiere". Even then, are all of these dates really that important? Most movie articles just list the premiere and/or a single general release date. This would make the Sundance date the most appropriate. 216.94.11.2 (talk) 20:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Harry Potter Connection 

message: I'm not sure if the plot is correct. I just finished watching the film and it says on wiki that he loses consciousness with his fate unknown. I will say that I got the impression his fate was unknown but is there word from the directors that going from first person to black and credits indicates losing consciousness? Also, its interesting that his last thoughts in the film are in an ambiguous tense eg. "I really hoped I wouldn't die."
Perhaps the part about losing consciousness should be removed.--Senor Freebie (talk) 12:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. Anyone else have some thoughts on this? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree. If we are assuming that the fade to black indicates losing consciousness, I don't see what's to stop us from assuming that the fade to black indicates death. JokeySmurf (talk) 13:50, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot issue 

message: I don't think that Anna Madeley is in this film at all. A character called Denise is credited on IMDB and on the end credits on the DVD as being played by Anna Madeley. I think Denise is supposed to be Harry Waters' wife who shouts at him and then worries about him going to Belgium. But that character was certainly not played by the actress Anna Madeley who looks nothing like her. I can only assume that the mistake was made by the filmmakers and put onto the DVD credits which were then copied to IMDB in the same order and thence to this article. Can anyone identify who DID play Harry's wife? It is someone who is at least 45 whereas Anna Madeley was born in 1977 and looks it. --LeedsKing (talk) 23:54, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Harry's wife is Natalie, played by Elizabeth Berrington. Denise is the blonde prostitute, played by Anna Madeley. I'll add these details to the cast section. -Captain Crawdad (talk) 06:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Matt Smith 

message: In the outtakes on the DVD, there was a scene that wound up on the cutting room floor. In that scene, it is implied that Harry was abused as a child by the priest that was the target. The film makes a lot more sense with that scene, as it sets up why the priest was being executed, and the motivation for why Harry was so upset about a child getting killed. This might get mentioned in the article. --Grr (talk) 23:31, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

message: The Plot section has a hidden note saying: "Plot must remain below 700 per WP:FILMPLOT. Work within the limit.” This recent addition, however, has now taken the word count to 938. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:06, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The best thing you can do is revert to the last good version, which you probably did and I what I also just did, and the plot section is back down to approximately 712 words. Unfortunately there are many editors who ignore the WP:FILMPLOT guidelines. I think most people are editing in WP:GOODFAITH and believe the plot details are adding are important. It is sad to see so many editors make the same basic mistakes, editors would do well to learn from others mistakes and read the guidance at WP:STREAMLINE. I suppose it is easy to develop a blindspot for repetitive warning comments, and I'm fair surely they are shown to readers using the Visual editing tool or other external tools either. It is a shame that Wikipedia doesn't provide better built-in Word Count tools or do more to help editors follow the guidelines.

replies: text: It is a pity that those editors did not explain more clearly why they were reverting your edits but the WP:FILMPLOT guidelines require that the Plot section be kept concise, between 400-700 words. If you want to add to the plot section you will have also remove something else to keep it short. -- 109.77.193.103 (talk) 18:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
