Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Move discussion

• Oppose LuiKhuntek 04:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC) -- English grammar calls for the capitalization all major words in a title even if consisting of foreign words. Foreign grammar rules are not generally adopted for English -- e.g., "with Das Kapital,"not "with dem Kapital" LuiKhuntek 22:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Support correct name. Olessi 19:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

IMDB uses the name "Nuovo cinema Paradiso", as does the Italian WP. The film was released in the US and the UK as "Cinema Paradiso". IMO, the name should be either the Italian "Nuovo cinema Paradiso" or the English "Cinema Paradiso", not the correct mixture. Olessi 09:15, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

IMDb does not source its capitaliztion. Movie posters at IMDb show it in either all caps or all miniscules. Other sites use title caps for all three words. Even some Italian language sites use cap-cap-cap or cap-min-min. (Despite my own criticism of the practice, I used Google hits as my source.) With such a lack of consensus, English grammar rules should apply. But this is English (language) Wikipedia and not US/UK Wikipedia so stick with Nuovo Cinema Paradiso LuiKhuntek 06:27, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't move in this case, no consensus reached; in addition, it seems as if the current title is indeed correct. —Nightstallion (?) 13:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Boards

Can anyone please enlighten me as to what the village women were doing with the angled red boards in the village square? Gillean666

They were making tomato paste I think. Ulyaoth 23:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reel of Film

Was it Alfredo that didn't let Salvatore see the "romantic" scenes, or the priest? 70.90.88.21 16:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC) matt eisenberg

The priest if memory serves. I never got the impression that Alfredo wanted to censor anything. 77.97.130.32 22:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

It was the priest. Under the previous ownership of the Cinema Paradiso there was an arrangement with the priest that he could preview the films and 'mark' them for indecent material. Alfredo would take old film receipts and use them to note sections of film the priest wanted to have cut. This arrangement lasted quite some time. One of the townspeople claims '20 years and not once have I seen a kissing scene.'

When the Cinema Paradiso later re-opens under a new owner, without the authority of the priest, they show a love scene during their grand opening and the priest cries out 'No! I will not watch pornography.'
