Talk:Welcome to the Sticks

Soon to sink Titanic
Word games are farts of the mind. They can be fun (although here it reminds me more of Ruquier's jokes than anything else) but in all cases they have no place on wikipedia. Matthieu (talk) 09:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

True meaning of ch'tis
Although the film was translated as Welcome to the Sticks, Please note the word ch'tis doesn't mean "Sticks" but "Northern French people". I am myself a "ch'ti" (prononced shtee). Our dialect called ch'ti is also known as picard. But the word cheutimi is neologism created by a Southern French guy in the film. The translation of the title is only an adaptation not a literal translation. egards, P.R —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.79.228.47 (talk) 11:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't it mean Welcome to the Land of Ch'tis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.249.33.106 (talk) 23:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it does. Welcome to the Sticks is actually another film to be spearheaded by Will Smith that will be based on this film. I will disambiguate the two soon. Chris DHDR 11:46, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Why are the grossings given in US dollars? This is a French movie and Wikipedia, so far as I know, is not an American encyclopedia. 83.199.82.153 (talk) 00:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Error in the plot
The plot description says: "he tells her the truth about the happiness and friendship that the town has brought him. Julie is disappointed at first, but after realising her husband is happy, she decides to move north to be with him." and then quite later: "As a result, Antoine proposes to Annabelle by the bell tower when it is playing a Stevie Wonder song. Annabelle accepts, and they get married." This is wrong. Julie feels betrayed, gets furious and returns to the South. Only later in the story, when Antoine proposes to Annabelle and she accepts, Philippe drives to the South and begs Julie to join him. She then decides to follow him to the north. I would update it myself but I'm not a native speaker and leave it to somebody else. -- Wassermaus (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
