[edit] Thematic content & analysis

I was thinking, especially judging from the commentary track, that this would be a good movie to add a thematic content & analysis page. I don't feel qualified to write about this movie, but I would be interested if someone could.

[edit] Split articles

Because both the film and novel are significant in their own, separate rights, I've split the pages. We now have House of Sand and Fog and House of Sand and Fog (novel). Phew. María: (habla ~ cosas) 03:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shouldn't it be Nadereh?

I'm reading the novel version of House of Sand, and in the book her name (Massoud's wife) is Nadereh. Don't know how they spelled it in themovie, just telling you what I know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.210.114.243 (talk) 23:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Yan Lin

Why does "Yan Lin" redirect here? I do not remember anything along those lines with the movie. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myeung123 (talk • contribs) on 01:06, 26 February 2007

She is an actress with a small (non-speaking ?) role. -- Beardo 03:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error in book, article text; location

The article says Kathy "was wrongly evicted from the house due to a government error regarding taxes." As I recall there was no error, only an impossibility. She didn't respond to the (correct) bills and the house (actually the tax lien) was sold at auction. The impossibility is that she didn't get the residual value of the sale price over the tax lien or the opportunity to redeem the lien without losing possession.

Also should mention that the movie seems to be set in, and partially shot in, Pacifica, CA. I understand much of it was shot in southern California, but I'm pretty sure I saw exteriors of the Pacifica Municipal pier... Andyvphil 00:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler Warning

This article cries out for a spoiler warning - consider it done! Marco :) Bonteburg 23:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Someone just removed it, presumably per [1]. No strong feeling on this, myself. Andyvphil 00:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Why is one needed? --Tony Sidaway 07:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Ohh! I see. true, that. Marco :) Bonteburg 14:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:House Of Sand And Fog Poster.jpg

Image:House Of Sand And Fog Poster.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
