Talk:One Hour Photo

Removal of "Themes" section
I think that the Themes section should be removed, or atleast be given an overhaul to include relevant themes.. It is quite a weak link to make, as there are many better themes that could be written about than the American dream. --ChinaNailStorm 18:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. That section reads much like a high-school essay in which a clichéd, rather arbitrary "theme" (the American Dream) is being forced upon a film that actually deals with more universal themes, and in a much more subtle and sophisticated manner than the crude "analysis" would suggest. The section could also be viewed as a kind of editorializing apropos the film rather than an attempt at analysis. Even though it is a good-faith contribution, it is speculative and un-encyclopedic. I am going to remove it. --Bwiki 02:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. It's original "analysis," albeit flawed, akin to original research.207.69.137.13 05:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Producer credit
The primary producers on the film were Vachon, Koffler, and Wlodkowski. Jeremy Barber was listed as the sole producer, which is inaccurate and incorrect. Barber was one of three credited executive producers, which is a less important and more honorary credit than "producer." I have corrected accordingly.207.69.137.13 05:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Blood in the dream sequence?
Having used to work at a Rite-Aid one hour photo, I think the fluid that shoots from Williams' eyes during the dream sequence looks more like the fluid waste buildup from the photo machines. However someone who hasn't used such a machine probably would not know what the fluid looks like, therefore it is just as likely to be blood. I just wonder if maybe it bears inclusion. I won't add it though unless others think it's worth mentioning. Levid37 11:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

The Ending
At the end of the plot description, the article implies that "the viewer is left to wonder if any pornographic pictures were actually taken".

When the police entered Maya's hotel room, she was huddled in the shower, and Will Yorkin was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. Doesn't that imply that the altercation with Sy actually happened? I cannot account for the reason why the ordinary photos were the ones he were seen at the end, but it is also my opinion that the police probably would not have allowed him to look at the pornographic pictures he forced Maya and Will to make, so he may have been given old pictures or other ones that may have been on the camera. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lepetiterobot (talk • contribs) 15:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC).
 * Absolutely, it is quite clear everything that was shown happened. I think I can clear this up. Two rolls of films were taken - the first was the pornographic one and the other was of the bathroom fixtures. Quoting the first lines:
 * Detective: "We processed the roll of film we found in your bag, Mr. Parrish. They're not very pretty pictures. Also, you left a camera in the hotel; we processed that roll as well."
 * Sy: "Can I see them?"
 * The roll with the "not very pretty pictures" was the one with William and Nina, and the photos shown at the end of the film were from the one in the camera that Sy left. It's quite easy to deduce that the photos Sy wanted to see and was shown was the latter one.
 * So, unless there's evidence of my conclusion being wrong, I'll have the line changed. --210.50.228.4 04:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Plot Language
What does "leading to a police against him" in the fifth paragraph of the plot mean? English is my native language but I just cannot seem to puzzle out exactly what this means. Clearly it involves him and some police, but are they chasing him or shooting him when he comes near or is it a reference to a restraining order or what? It's very poorly written and not at all clear English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.252.10.91 (talk) 00:09, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
