To anyone

Anyone watching this page? I'd like to expand it a bit on this, but I think the book would be better than the film to expand...Anyone know why he wrote the book? Frostickle 04:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kiss Of The Spiderwoman.jpg

Image:Kiss Of The Spiderwoman.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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.

Share a Brazilian prison cell?

Although the movie WAS filmed in Sao Paolo, Brazil, the plot makes certain that the two people who have the main roles in the film are sharing a cell together, this is true. One is there for being caught with a underaged homosexual teenager (played by William Hurt), and the other, is there as a political prisoner, played by Raul Julia. My point is that the film goes out of it's way not to name any specific Country where their crimes took place, as if to say, "someplace in a Country in South America..." I think it's misleading to say they share a Brazilian prison cell as a part of the plot, because having said this without references in the plot would render the statement libelous.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
