Talk:Blow Out

Fair use rationale for Image:Blow outENG.jpg
Image:Blow outENG.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 03:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Revision
I've undertaken a major revision to this article, revising the plot summary, production information, a discussion of its themes and allusions, and its critical reception. I've also added citations for all this information and therefore removed the citation tag from the article.

One note: The original article stated that the film opened to "mixed" reviews, citing only Andrew Sarris's review as a negative review, but it didn't provide any detail. I could find no contemporaneous negative reviews that are available online, and Sarris's review is not archived at the Village Voice website, nor as far as I can tell is it included in any published compilation of Sarris's work. (Although, given his history, I have little doubt that Sarris hated Blow Out.) Also, Laurent Bouzereau's book provides that the film opened to positive reviews. Accordingly, I've deleted the sentence that says the film's reviews were mixed and the reference to Sarris's review. If anyone can provide concrete contemporaneous reviews that say different, please add.Jedgeco (talk) 14:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I've made a few grammatical corrections, and removed an editorial judgment or two--e.g., "Dressed to Kill" was not "poorly-received". That assertion wasn't referenced, nor is it accurate--DTK was controversial, arguably, but it was critically-praised at the time of its release, and was one of De Palma's most profitable films. This is already referenced in the main article for DTK, without inexplicable bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanrobts (talk • contribs) 18:00, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
