[edit] Cort

Nice article. One question though. Had Cort not become a Roman Catholic priest? Would the article read better that way or as a missionary? Thanks, :) Dlohcierekim 13:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christian Themes=

I am a huge fan of the film and appreciate this article. One of the films greatest (and most understated) strengths is the obvious christian overtones. == For example, it is true that Ace Hanlon looks like Wild Bill Hickock, but he also looks alot like Jesus. Herod (Oh my god!) guns him down after Hanlon performs a dangerous trick shot involving a little girl holding a playing card (Ursatz "miracle"?) Herod makes a point of taunting Hanlon in between shots by lighting his cigar (Raimi stresses the fire of the match- Satan?) Herod Finally guns Hanlon down. (The devil defeating the False Prophet The entire Movie plays out like this, and I believe it would be worth mentioning briefly. Just something to think about.

[edit] List?

Is it really necessary to go through and list every minor character? The article would be a lot better if these could be incorporated into more of a plot outline, even losing some of the less important details (why does it matter exactly where each person was shot?)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:QuickDead.jpg

Image:QuickDead.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 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.BetacommandBot 03:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scientific implausability?

Judging by the performances, the cinematography, and the overall style, I don't think this film is really trying to adhere to any kind of real-world rules. It's a hyper-stylized comic book western, and as such this moment is totally in keeping with that. Noting the scientific inaccuracy of it misses the whole point of the film.DailyRich 14:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pool of Characters..........imotions

dispite of being an over stylized comic book depictation, this movie was striking to me. most of the times i watch all the drama movies which tend to aggrevate my cynical state of mind.......but this one is absolute time pass........do not fire up your thoughts......just watch and enjoy.....and later you will find its all right.

the most difficult aspect about this movie would have been the massive pool of character in it and to carry them through smoothly. this movie does that very well...............along with it its a pool of imotions too. The most imotional scene in the movie would be the one in which the kid dies.....though he doest get the respect from his father.....he gets respect from the people......he dies a hero. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.162.48.91 (talk) 04:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
