Talk:Born on the Fourth of July (film)

La Villa Dulce
I've undone the edit that changed "Village of the Sun" to "La Villa Dulce". While that may be the accurate Spanish name of the town, it's not mentioned as such anywhere else in the article, making it a bit confusing. And I don't think it belongs in any case. Please enlighten me if I'm out of line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Belasted (talk • contribs) 04:15, 28 November 2008 (UTC) I'm currently watching the movie, and in the movie, it is Villa Dulce. So it's more than just the "accurate Spanish name", it's the actual name as specified in the movie. It should be translated as "Sweet Village" to boot. But I don't know how to edit Wikipedia articles, and not sure if accuracy is the criterion for articles; apparently not if it makes articles "confusing" (to whom?). In any case, maybe someone with more acumen can decide and change it if necessary. - Jonathan Hansen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.134.233 (talk) 00:56, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

"Wheelchair-bound"
"Wheelchair-bound" is considered derogatory usage and should not be reintroduced into the article. Please see List of disability-related terms with negative connotations before reverting this change again. --Rahaeli (talk) 14:27, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, but in an instance where it costs nothing to use a preferred, more civil descriptor, there's no reason not to. This is a case of MOS:IDENTITY in action. --Rahaeli (talk) 15:11, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

"Themes"
Personally I feel this entire section of the article can be deleted. It's just one person's (frankly rather banal) analysis of the movie, mostly opinion and and entirely unreferenced. If no-one responds to this over the next week I'll delete the section myself. Thanks. Nora nettlerash (talk) 22:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Vivica Fox
Actress “Vivica Fox” who played a “prostitute” in the film, is improperly linked to “Vivica A Fox” an American actress from such films as Independence Day and Kill Bill. 72.184.153.157 (talk) 02:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Correction: it is in fact Vivica A Fox
