Talk:Alphaville (film)

message: How many other languages has Alphaville been dubbed into?  The version I have, has English subtitles but not a word from the characters' lips has actually been dubbed into English.  I don't mind the subtitles in English, but it would help if there were other translations available, at least for those of us who don't speak French.
:Since Germany, Spain and Italy etc. routinely dub their movies, I don't think Alphaville would be an exception. (I don't understand what the problem is, btw, but I'm Swedish and accustomed to subtitled movies.) 惑乱 分からん 01:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I've just seen the German version. But I didn't like the movie, because it is completely oblivious to technology. There is the specter of artificial intelligence, but the explanation how it is accomplished is beyond ridiculous. It shows that expressions like "electronic brain" served more to confuse people instead of helping understanding computer technology, which was relatively new in 1960. 79.227.147.183 (talk) 22:32, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

message: Were there many SF noir films before this ? Or can this be seen as a direct ancestor of Blade Runner et al ? -- Beardo 04:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Please consider that this was not a serious movie but a parody of the noir style. The dissidents who are shot on the diving board after their final rant, fall into the water and the bodies are recovered by teams of synchronized swimmers? Lemmy Caution is arrested and turned over to Professors  Heckle and Jeckle? The final scene in which Natasha struggles, successfully, to remember how to say, "I love you"? Really. There's a lot of other tongue-in-cheek nonsense here and the article on Film Noir ought to put this in the parody category. 173.174.85.204 (talk) 01:59, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

message: The article claims it's set on another planet, it's been a while since I saw it but I don't recall that being explicit in the film, and I assumed this was just a city on Earth in the future, was there something I missed? Number36 03:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Reference is made in the film to an "Institute of General Semantics", possibly a reference to a  real institute of the same name?  Anyone know?

message: The article states that Lemmy Caution enters Alphaville in his Ford Mustang.  It's been a while since I've seen the film, so I stand to be corrected, but I am pretty sure the vehicle was not a mustang. I think it was a Ford Falcon, though not as certain about that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.141.177.29 (talk) 17:54, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Hertz1888, I know this is pretty trivial, but you reverted my deletion of 'cheap' when describing the camera. You mentioned a linked article but don't say which one. Can you be more specific? I'm not denying that Instamatics were cheap in 1960s France, but this is in the Plot section and there doesn't seem to be any indication in the movie that it is cheap in the world of Alphaville. For all we know Instamatics are the height of technology in the Outlands. The tech is decidely mixed in the movie, with futuristic looking buildings and computers, but low-tech stuff like tarnished keys on hooks, etc. The plot section suffers in general from a lot of interpretation being mixed in and lots of details on production, both of which belong in a different section.
