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] So who were taken and who were left?

I mean, if Muslims and Jews were left behind, I could see the controversy...

[edit] Deleted MPAA rating section

I deleted this because the author's claims are complete nonsense. First, a squeaky-clean evangelical Christian movie is not going to have full frontal nudity and explicit sex scenes. Secondly, the author concludes that the movie wound up with (and was released with) an NC-17 rating, which is a complete lie - the film is rated PG-13; go check IMDB. The fact that there are no sources for this information convinces me that someone is playing a prank.

If someone can offer proof of any of these article's claims, I'm willing to listen. -- Tom H12 15:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: Seeing that the actual MPAA rating was not listed anywhere, I added a section back in for that, along with a link to IMDB. -- Tom H12 15:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Simpsons

Didn't Homer Simpson watch this or a similar film?

• Yes, that's noted in the "Parodies" section. -- Tom H12 15:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think they should specify the characters' dialogue. I mean, it's commonly known what Chrsitian beliefs sate about budhism and homosexuality, and it shouldn't be included in the article. It becomes a little partial, don't you think? --Surten (talk) 01:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Surten

[edit] A Day Without a Mexican

Should a relation to A Day Without a Mexican be mentioned?

A Day Without a Mexican has absolutely nothing to do with this subject. That movie is based on possible life here in America without Mexicans for a day. The Left Behind story is based on a fictitious interpretation of the Bible (particularly the Book of Revelations) on what is to come "in the blink of an eye". Thousands, if not millions of people will disappear off the face of the earth in a split second, leaving the rest of the world baffled and questionable on what happened. So I conclude that the relativity of "A Day Without a Mexican" and "Left Behind" are incoherent.

[edit] Poorly structure sentence

"The folks at Cloud Ten Pictures were angered by this, and fought a long-ensuing battle that even continues today, that Bible films have no place in Hollywood."

I don't know how true this is. But it sounds like "Could Ten Pictures" is angry claiming bible films don't belong in holloywood. What does that have to do with anything? It seems to me they would be angry that the R rating was unjust. Does anyone have more information on this?

I removed that portion due to the fact it had nothing to do with the section it was located in. WAVY 10 17:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
