Talk:The Beach (film)

Ewan McGregor

Danny Boyle wanted Ewan McGregor for the lead role, but was over ruled by the studios who wanted a bigger name [1]. I think this merits a mention. Whenrybruce 04:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• I clicked on your link, and I don't think the IMDB gossip column is an authoritative source. SaulPerdomo 05:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I've taken out the bit saying "rumour has it..." as that is definitely not encyclopaedic, but I've left the other bit in. However, I'm not sure a trivia section consisting of one sentence is entirely necessary... Vanityjunkie 21:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TheBeachdicaprio.jpg

Image:TheBeachdicaprio.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.

Huge deletion by Sgeureka

I find the revert done by User:Sgeureka very strange. A lot of text was deleted without any discussion what so ever. Is there some here rule that I have missed? I propose that the original text should be reinserted and that any errors are rather removed. It could be that the section is long, but on the other hand - there are dozens of pages about the three Category:Star_Wars movies. Nine sections about this movie should not be a problem. I will, if I remember, do it myself at some point unless there are any protests. (Note: I am not checking my watch page that often.) --mabahj 21:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

You can always contact wikipedians on their talkpage if you have questions about their edits; most of us are reasonable people and won't bite. The plot was 1200 words long, and WP:MOSFILM recommends 400-700 words, 900 words at most for very complicated plots. However, the plot of this film is very simple, and it's easier to add 250-500 words than to remove 500-800. If you want to add on the plot summary, I have created the basis. If you prefer trimming, I've left the link to the page history with the overblown plot. If you feel you need 1200 words to describe the plot, please ask for a third opinion at the MOS, or add so much real-world information and/or sourced critical commentary to justify the depth of plot detail. I hope this clarifies the situation somewhat. – sgeureka ^t•c 21:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

This Film

Is this film really from the United States? I mean i see the majority is British actors with a few exception's, not to mention the director and producer. The original novel is also from a british writer. The only american thing i notice is a few actors and obviously 20th century fox. can someone explain to me please, thanks --Tukogbani (talk) 12:54, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree completely, United Kingdom should at the very least be listed as a secondary country. 22:21 20th September 2009 (UTC)

What does it matter? The movie is horrible, so you may not want to claim credit for it being mostly British. I loved the book however, bought it in Bangkok and read it in 2 days. Wonderful. Spiromilhous (talk) 09:40, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
