[edit] Intended film format vs. HDTV?

Wasn't Kubrick's intended film format 4:3, so the HD anamorphic releases hide picture parts intended to be seen by the audience?--85.182.34.104 (talk) 21:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Clockwork orangeA.jpg

Image:Clockwork orangeA.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Problem with the Differences secton

Is it just me, or does the section containing differences between the book and the novel just run into a general trivia section? Everything after the comment about how the last chapter was not filmed is completely irrelevant to that section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.238.198.15 (talk) 05:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] opera titles

Does Wiki have a standard for when to translate the titles of works in a foreign language? This article refers to "The Thieving Magpie" and "La Gazza Ladra". Anyone unfamiliar with the work (or Italian) wouldn't know that they're the same thing. Iglew (talk) 23:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Theme: Hypocrisy

Another theme is hypocrisy, shown by Alex, his friends turned police, the government and minister, and the author. --Ephilei (talk) 06:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
