Talk:The Merchant of Venice (2004 film)

Fair use rationale for Image:Merchant of Venice.jpg
Image:Merchant of Venice.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 ensure 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.

refference to Stefano Landi?
A musical piece that may be made to seem casual (no material of a known composer), to me it sounds like "Il sogno del morire" by Stefano Landi? Can this be Landi? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.164.222.61 (talk) 22:09, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Ending
"After all the other characters make amends, Antonio learns that three of his ships have returned safely after all." I just watched the movie on Youtube at and was a bit taken aback that actually Antonio in this version never seems to get the news that all his ships were safe. So did I just miss it and can anyone confirm that this particular bit was actually in the film or was this a deviation from Shakespeare in the sense that "this adaptation ... omits much"? In a shot at 2:03:46 you can see him apparently with a letter in his hands but in a melancholy mood. If it was a deliberate omission, I thought it was an interesting take, somewhat contrasting the happy ending for the pairs of lovers with Antonio having lost these riches (although, of course, with a verdict that saved him from death and assigned him part of Shylock's fortunes, the ending is happy enough for him). Similar to the contrast in the ending of the 1973 adaptation that ends with the voice of Laurence Olivier/Shylock chanting the Kaddish. Proofreader (talk) 16:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
