Talk:La Soufrière (film)

Too much emphasis on god
I've just watched this film, and of the three people we meet in the film, only one of them mentions god. In this article, the last paragraph overemphasises the religious aspect, saying, for example, that they had all "given their lives to god". I would say the final interviewee's motives for staying on the island are more to do with his sense of oblivion than any religious fervour (ie. quite the opposite).

Also, another erroneous passage in the article: "Driven by either madness or complete harmony with nature, the subjects of Herzog's films exemplify life at its most spiritually extreme." I'm not sure Herzog would agree with you there. I think he would say the protagonists in many of his films are the only sane ones (I have heard him say this myself), and that they go against the will of nature (which he himself has described as "full of murder, chaos and death"), eg. Aguirre, Fitzcarraldo, Little Dieter, Woodcarver Steiner, Grizzly Man, La Soufriere etc.

I'll go about editing this myself if no-one has any objections. Mikething (talk) 22:15, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Soufriere Screen Shot.jpg
Image:Soufriere Screen Shot.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 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.
