Talk:The Year of Living Dangerously (film)

message: Why is Gough referred to as a liberal in this article? His policies and his current political leanings are clearly social democratic, not liberal. Because of the distribution of english-speakers in the world, Wikipedia is mainly written by United States of Americans, who equate liberal with left because of a hostility to social democratic policies in US domestic politics remnant from the Cold War. If Gough is to have a political label at all, it must be social democrat or even socialist. If you can't tell the difference between a liberal and a social democrat, then don't use the label. Just refer to their political background (ALP, LPA, Democrat, Republican, Shooters' party etc).  Unsigned message
:: complete and utter crap label of liberal - agreed - he was a labour (sic) prime minister.143.238.221.62 12:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: If I was really Indonesian, I would say "artikel ini ada nafas "plagiarised", some of the phrases read like from something I've read somewhere else.  Please be careful with edits that you are not copying copyright material! - also sign properly and put in order!!! 143.238.221.62 12:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Rama..'s removal of spurious political commentary as OR is incorrect, its more like something plagiarised as editor above suggests - looks like we need adjudication on this one folks!
Maybe we need to have some - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Negotiation, or maybe SatuSuro 03:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Political Context 

message: :Image:Yearlivingsetdoihave.jpg is being used on this article. 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Yearlivingsetdoihave.jpg

message: The title music for the film is L'Enfant by Vangelis (from the album Opera Sauvage). Is this significant enough to be mentioned, and if so, where in the article? — Loadmaster (talk) 02:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Theme music 

message: In the plot section, there is a sentence, "Guy is quietly shanghaied by Kumar, to keep him from harm and protect the information." Could somebody explain what 'shanghaied' means in this context? The next sentence is," Upon returning to Jakarta, Guy plumbs the depths with Curtis but then realizes his folly." Plumbs what depths of what? Any ideas anybody?  Davidelit (Talk)  04:35, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Inappropriate tone

message: In the infobox it is given as 6 mil., but the article gives it as 13 mil. What gives? Evanh2008, Super Genius  Who am I?  You can talk to me... 06:59, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Budget 

message: During the first half of the 60s, was traffic in Indonesia counter-clockwise (Mel Gibson was driving on the right). Also one thing, did KLM planes that landed in Indonesia have English text? Between Dutch speaking countries, I thought they would be written in Dutch. --88.89.69.14 (talk) 00:24, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As for the English text on the aircraft, English is the common language in aviation, so that'd be correct.  Here's a KLM plane from 1964 to illustrate the point. Swanny18 (talk) 20:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical accuracies? 

message: The list of possible conspiratorial culprits for the coup attempt is without any references, and therefore suggests responsibility without linking the suggestion to published sources or other evidence.  Without referencing, we should not be listing possible culprits in support of opposing inflammatory theories of responsibility for such a gruesome chain of events. The report on the movie's content is fine.  Leave the list of opposing theories (ignored by the movie) to the main article on the coup, where (one hopes) necessary references are given.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.179.245.225 (talk) 06:26, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This section made a comment about the piece from Strauss's "Four Last Songs" being "Abendrot", but  the IMDb page only lists "Beim Schlafengehen". So I've vagued it up a bit to reflect that. I've also added some stuff, because I didn't think that was the most important thing to be said about the soundtrack. I trust everyone is OK with that. Swanny18 (talk) 20:37, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
