[edit] NPOV?

Phrases like "The non-verbal, visual conclusion is triumphant. (Ironically, it is a pure,artful, insightful, pro-marriage....)" are extremely POV - AKeen 04:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I defer. The reviewer is describing the theme Demy was attempting to convey in the film rather than his own views on marriage. User:Philch 10:09, 10 July 2006.

If this is the opinion of Demy, it should be attributed to Demy, with a citation. As it stands now this is POV - AKeen 05:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

There are lots of weasel words in the article, but "triumphant" seems like a stylistic description more than an interpretation in context.--Son of Somebody 13:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emily?

"Christine Legrand, the wife of Michel Legrand, was the singing voice of Emily." Who is Emily? There's no mention of her elsewhere on the page. Thanks.--86.138.104.32 20:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Good catch, Legrand was the singing voice of the mother, Madame Emery (someone misheard this as "Emily" maybe?). - AKeen 21:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tiara

The article currently states: "The society wedding in a great cathedral, with a tiara being placed on the bride's head, symbolizes her upward social and economic movement." The problem here is that in the wedding scene, she does not have a tiara placed on her head. In an earlier scene, when Cassard is over for dinner, Geneviève finds the bean hidden in the food. This permits her to name her "king", and since Cassard is the only man there, she chooses him ("it looks like I have no choice", foreshadowing her bigger decision to come.) Cassard puts a paper crown on Geneviève, the "queen". And NPOV, she's beautiful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mykej (talk • contribs)

I concur and have fixed the incorrect statement in the plot synopsis. It now says "The society wedding in a great cathedral shows her upward social and economic movement." Don't forget to sign your comments! :o) Portia1780 (talk) 20:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Opera

This movie is more than simply a musical comedy. It is an opera, if I recall correctly. That is, it is entirely sung. Not a word is spoken. And in my opinion, the music is profoundly enchanting. 4.234.150.23 13:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

It is 100% opera, c'est vrai. Chivista 16:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Les-parapluies-de-cherbourg.jpg

Image:Les-parapluies-de-cherbourg.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.
