You filmography seems to be very long, almost too much for the page. Perhaps when you add more content it will look more balanced but maybe trim the list down to a specific category of his films or figure out how to make it do columns? --[[User:Ming Ming|Ming Ming]] 03:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

It seems like he needs to keep the whole filmography though, if that's how many movies Chow has made. It doesn't seem fair to Chow to leave some out... I think this is looking great! The only thing I would look at is your references. I think we decided in class to do it MLA style, so with paranthetical citations. For example, (Xu) instead of the dashes like you currently have. Also, be sure to cite where you found the filmography (imdb probably, but you want to make sure that it shows on the filmography where you got it, not just at the bottom) and personal info section. Also I think with the new standard for MLA you don't need page numbers on your works cited page (which ends up being the references at the bottom for us). I would double check with the Purdue site, they are usually the most up to date with that stuff. Other than that, I think this is looking fantastic! Great job! :) [[User:CharlotteCharles|CharlotteCharles]] 03:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I took out nearly 20 films as is. Mostly cameo appearances. But the list of movies included are all on top lists when discussing Chow's films. --Jon

Also I can't find any other open source pictures. If I could find my picture of him I would put that up but I haven't found it yet. -- Jon

Hey Jon! I had a hard time finding pictures for mine too :\ But I think I found some pictures for you! Try [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=stephen+chow&title=Special%3ASearch here] and [http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=stephen+chow&l=cc&ct=0&mt=all&adv=1 here]. I kind of hate open source because the pictures aren't the best, but at least here's ''something'' :) [[User:CharlotteCharles|CharlotteCharles]] 22:20, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey just a simple reminder not to forget to ''italicize'' your "Print" source in your References section. They have a button for it at the top of the text box. [[User:Zhongwen dianying|Zhongwen dianying]] 23:11, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

== '''Quotes''' ==
"I'm experienced enough to know that the hardest thing to tell is an epic short story; slices of life that add up to an epic feeling."

"I don't know where I am, but I never know where I am. I was born in China, then my parents moved to Taiwan, where we were outsiders, then to the States, then back to China, then back here. I trust the elusive world created by movies more than anything else. I live on the other side of the screen."

"My father's family were liquidated during the Cultural Revolution in China because they were landowners. He was the only one to escape. I was born and brought up in Taiwan. But you absorb the trauma. My parents had no sense of security. It was as if the world could turn against them at any moment."

"Nothing stands still. That's important in my movies. People want to believe in something, want to hang on to something to get security and want to trust each other. But things change. Given enough time, nothing stands still. I think seeking for security and lack of security is another thing in my movies."

"Every movie I make. That's my hideout, the place I don't quite understand, but feel most at home."

"I think I find something new in each culture after being away for a bit, and that's creatively important. You can't move forward without changing, and that's why I try to stay open to new perspectives. I want to keep learning. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you can never learn enough."

"I was never romantic in real life. That is why I have to make movies about it"

Good luck! [[User:Root|Root]] 19:18, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Karly, can you look into handout2.doc and try to add some more genuine thoughts, the article so far looks pretty descriptive and encyclopaedic to me. Thank you very much! [[User:Root|Root]] 19:25, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey i noticed that you have a "[4]" in your rewards section "1997 Cannes Film Festival, Best Director (Happy Together)[4]." I would also add more to the thoughts section about maybe a few more things that you really enjoyed about the film. Can you think of specific scenes in which he demonstrated those great visual and intellectual brilliance? I say that because i agree with you on that part. [[User:Zhongwen dianying|Zhongwen dianying]] 20:58, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! I went ahead and deleted the [4] and I tried to add a bit more to my thoughts section in regards to what I enjoyed about In the Mood for Love. --[[User:Keeley X.|Keeley X.]] 03:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey Keeley, I think this looks so great! The only thing I would maybe change is that I don't think you need to use both names when crediting a source paranthetically. For example, instead of saying (Scott Tobias), I think you only need (Tobias). Everything else looks fantastic!! :) [[User:CharlotteCharles|CharlotteCharles]] 03:27, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I've been using your page as a template for my own. Well done. -Jon

Thanks again!

Things are looking really good. I would just make a simple change on your References part. Make sure to ''italicize'' your books and magazines (''Time Magazine World.'' and ''Chinese Films in Focus II.''). they have that button at the top of the text box. I don't think it is a big deal but i would just change it to make sure. [[User:Zhongwen dianying|Zhongwen dianying]] 22:49, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
