Talk:Bend Her

message: This is about this: In the year 3004, the Earth is like its own country, but in the opening ceremonies you can see the flag of Canada marched out with the team, along with several other countries, such as the "Republic of French Stereotypes". Also, when the Planet Express crew went to go see Hermes (limboing for Jamaica) the Professor notices people rooting for Sweden and says "Sweden? I don't think so!" and rips up a banner that they are holding. It is similar to the United Kingdom's standing within the Commonwealth Games. The United Kingdom actually competes separately as England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Another explanation is simply that the Olympics are limited to Earth, with each nation competing much as they do now. This is supported by the fact that we see no aliens in the competitions (though we do see the robot nation of Cyberia).
Not only do I think that is longer than it needs to be, but it's completely unnesecary (and wrong to boot). The announcer at the stadium clearly says "Welcome to the 3004 Earth Olympiad", meainng that these Olympics are just for Earth and its countries (which seems fair, because we started them). There also appear to be interplanetary Olympics (as referenced in A Flight To Remember, Hermes was part of the Earth team).

昭和初期(1930年代前半)に流行した小市民(すなわち安サラリーマン)の生活と生活感情を描く日本映画の一傾向とその作品群の総称。欧米の日本映画研究書ではShomingeki(庶民劇)とされ，〈下級中産階級の人々の生活を描いた映画〉と説明されている。小津安二郎監督の《東京の合唱》(1931)，《生れてはみたけれど》(1932)を頂点に，倉田文人監督《小市民》(1932)，成瀬巳喜男監督《夜ごとの夢》(1933)，島津保次郎監督《隣の八重ちゃん》(1934)，五所平之助監督《生きとし生けるもの》(1934)，《人生のお荷物》(1935)，内田吐夢監督《限りなき前進》(1937)等々，サイレントからトーキーにかけての諸作品がこの系譜の代表作として挙げられる。・・・

replies: text: Shomin-geki →  – The old term shomin-geki is a pseudo-Japanese word, first used in 1950's Western film literature; in recent years, literature, papers, serious web sites on film and scholars are increasingly using the correct term shoshimin-eiga. See for instance Google book search . I suggest a page move to the correct and in the meantime more frequently used term Shoshimin-eiga, users searching the old term will be automatically re-directed to the page with the accurate term.

Talk:Redskin (film)

message: I'm removing the following text.  It is unsourced OR and seems to be aimed at being persuasive.
::The title of the film is not meant to be degrading to Native Americans. The title refers to the film's hero, Wing Foot (Richard Dix), who is a Navaho educated in an otherwise all-white school. In the course of the story, he experiences prejudice from both the whites (because of his race) and the Navahos (who disown him because of his upbringing).  Thus, Wing Foot is looked upon as neither Indian nor white, but simply a "redskin."
::The film deals sympathetically with the American Indians in an era of filmmaking that far too many people think was one where Indians were shown as murderous savages.
::Not only does Redskin avoid this stereotype, but it also sidesteps the more contemporary, "politically correct" stereotype. In those films the Indians are generally depicted as being mainly peaceful and morally right, while the whites (save the main protagonist) are seen as the bloodthirsty savages - greedy bigots with little or no redeeming values. Instead of showing the red man as evil and the white man good - or vice versa - Redskin presents good and bad in both. The government agent who beats Wing Foot in the beginning of the picture eventually emerges as a decent man - some one who made a mistake and later regretted it. At the end he redeems himself by aiding Wing Foot in his attempt to register his oil claim. Redskin presents not only the conflict between whites and Indians, but also between the Indian races (Navajos and Pueblos are shown to dislike each other).
Please add reliable sources if any part of this is re-incorporated into the article. Wickedjacob (talk) 04:49, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Autoimmunity

message: I'm not sure if this is just me, but this part of the introduction seems confusing and obscure:
The misconception that an individual's immune system is totally incapable of recognizing self antigens is not new. Paul Ehrlich, at the beginning of the twentieth century, proposed the concept of horror autotoxicus, wherein a 'normal' body does not mount an immune response against its own tissues.
I don't really understand this. Can someone clarify what it means?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.3.102 (talk) 17:43, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Secondly, the expression capable of recognizing self antigens appears unclear to me. Recognizing them in order to attack them or in order not to attack them?
