The photo of Madison plastered on the newspaper front pages and magazine covers is not his "dead" body but him running away from Bus in terror. lpadilla@voicenet.com 207.103.48.8 19:19, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Black Comedy

Wouldn't this movie's genre be best classified as Black Comedy? I don't care what IMDB says. DeeKenn (talk) 18:21, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it counts as black comedy because it treats war with deadly seriousness, rather than the lack of seriousness and respect that the linked-to definition requires. It is a comedy in spite of the war, not because of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.167.248.233 (talk) 03:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Kind Hearts and Coronets, Dr. Strangelove, Brazil - those are black comedies. At best, this one's a very light gray. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Ah, you guys got me. I agree now. DeeKenn (talk) 04:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd also like to add, in viewing these films within their own time context allows for a view of both, "political and social commentary," the, "view at the time," 75.37.181.106 (talk) 21:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)Ciada

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Emily movieposter.jpg

Image:Emily movieposter.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.
