Talk:The Age of Adaline

Disambiguation article needed
I think it would be necessary to have a disambiguation page for this term, since Adaline can also refer to Adaline, West Virginia or to ADALINE artificial neural network. --Guyik (talk) 11:07, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Angela Lansbury
Some sources do not list Angela Lansbury and instead list Ellen Burstyn as the character in question.

It's English, but not as we know it, Jim
"Who, after flirting with each other in an elevator, mentions that he wishes to bring her flowers but cannot, as he doesn't have her address."

The abive is not a properly constructed sentence.

A real editor, amongst other duties, ensures that syntax, grammar, spelling and usage are correct. Although Wikipedia has many "editors", who apparently consider their role to be to exert their power and override contributors, many of them seem not too well skilled in the above expectations of a real editor. Come on, Wikipedia, get your act together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.99.129 (talk) 21:57, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Here's another one: "(about the same amount of time between William seeing Adaline again)" An amount of time between one thing? Really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.99.129 (talk) 22:00, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

'... about the same amount of time between William seeing Adaline again'

The same amount of time between William seeing Adaline again and /what/?

Is there no one amongst the Wikipedia 'editors' who (i) proof reads and (ii) is at least semi-literate? Superfluous question... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.101.135 (talk) 22:24, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Categories
Warning: Spoilers I noticed that the article is in the categories Category:Films about human rights, Category:Films about immortality, and Category:American coming-of-age drama films, but I don't think these categories are correct for the article. Although the film is about age, coming-of-age genre seems to be about children becoming adults or otherwise growing up. This film is about a 107-year old who looks 29. I don't understand why it is in the human rights category. The closest thing I can think of is when the FBI attempted to force Adaline to submit to medical tests, and this is why she keeps changing her identity every decade. The film focuses on her need to hide her lack of aging, but does not put much focus on her original motive for doing so (the way she was treated by the FBI), so I don't think human rights is a theme in the movie. Also, the film is not about immortality. Although she stops aging for 78 years, she does begin to age normally again at the end, so she'll probably live for over 150 years, but will eventually reach old age so is not immortal.
