Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help!

[edit] Title

Since this movie is in several languages (all of which appear in the title card), why is the French title given preference? I would understand if it is a legal issue for a movie from Quebec, but I hope it is for no other reason. -Acjelen 01:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Special issuses

I've written some text about this film. My english isn't good enough. So I don't add this text directly to the page. I hope somebody correct it and add:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Film is based on one main editing trick. Been effectively used, it makes you feel the gratest emotions. You fall in abyss of controversal empathies applying to heroes. One scene is repeated many times over the film line. Different views, different accentuated details. Scene intermits with stories from the past. Every single story builds some information about man or woman presented in the main scene. So, you see the final minutes of the whole film with best knowledge of any detail of whole story. Every person on the screen is congenial for you. You may hate him. You may like him. You overfilled with them all. Detective and mystical (very accuretly represented!) components raise your spirit more and more. And no more film brings you such experience. ru:Участник:Qkowlew

[edit] Austrian?

Why is one of the film's languages listed as "Austrian"? I realize that Austria has some dialects which vary from standard German, but the term "Austrian" for the German spoken in this movie seems nonstandard. --Metropolitan90 July 8, 2005 05:45 (UTC)

[edit] Other >4 multi-language films

This seems incidental, but both Grand Illusion and Apocalypse Now have only four languages listed on IMDb (and only one each listed on their WP articles). Obviously four is not "more than four". I haven't seen Grand Illusion and couldn't make it through Apocalypse Now, so I can't say if IMDb is incorrect. -Acjelen 23:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I removed the whole section. Apocalypse Now isn't "in four languages", the relevant dialogue is always in English even if there are occasional words in other languages; this is nothing like The Red Violin. Cop 633 01:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historical figures?

Vienna

• Christoph Koncz - Kaspar Weiss
• Jean-Luc Bideau - Georges Poussin

Oxford

• Jason Flemyng - Frederick Pope
• Greta Scacchi - Victoria Byrd

What historical figures are these based on?-69.87.199.48 12:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Khe-khe. Nice freaks, not real persons. Georges Poussin is from present time. Look for him in Google, for example. Film provocates you to look for more links. Nice job. ru:Участник:Qkowlew

[edit] Poster image (woman / violin)

I'm trying to remember who it was, but a very early famous photographer pioneered that idea for a photo and I think the picture is trying to emulate the photo which I saw reproduced in an issue of Mental Floss. I'll have to remember who the photographer was. --Bobak 21:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

You're thinking of Man Ray. Here's a link. http://www.roland-collection.com/rolandcollection/section/18/568.htm --Mrs Scarborough 17:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Redviolin.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 22:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
