Talk:Farewell My Concubine

New comments in 2013

Dear Licia, please start to paste your notes and extend it into a paper. The final version should be 7 pages. You need to stick to the 1st person narrative ("I", "me" etc.) and not only describe things, but also switch to the commentator role (maybe indicated by "Contemporary Commentator" and then evaluate and discuss the topic from different angles, put it into context, criticize etc.). If you want to write less, you can integrate more pictures. Please make sure to indicate your source after each sentence or, if there is a whole paragraph with the same source, after each paragraph. You can indicate it like "Smith 2009:345" and in the final section "References" write the long version "Smith, Jared, Confucius revisted, Yale University Press 2009, 415 pp." In the edit mode, section headers are indicated with "=" and sub section headers with "==". In the edit mode, paragraphs need to be marked with 2 line feeds ("Enter" key). 1 Line feed will not show up as a paragraph. For additional editing tips, including how to indicate sources and how to find copyright free pictures, please refer to [1]. Good luck with your composition!

This is just a sketch to start out with- more is coming.--Licia K (talk) 01:42, 1 March 2013 (CET)

These are great quotes! I'll have to take a look at it when there's more content. Can't wait to see the finished product!--Zombies Don't Eat Vegans (talk) 01:42, 1 March 2013 (CET)

This is a good beginning! Perhaps you could add how it was received in China as well as the United States. --Linksys (talk) 07:59, 1 March 2013 (CET)

Good quotes, although you should point how who actually said them. Now say more about the film. --Professor Wiskers McMeowmouth (talk) 22:28, 1 March 2013 (CET)

Humm...needs some work, although I remember that you said you were working on the Wong Kar-wai article for the midterm, you still need to flesh this one out. I recognize the quotes from the movie, but you really should describe the scenes when they are said, and explain why you chose these particular quotes (as opposed to any others). Good start.--Dekeo (talk) 07:06, 2 March 2013 (CET)

You have some good information here. Could use a bit more in the bodies though. And maybe add a few more pictures.--Zombies Don't Eat Vegans (talk) 01:42, 15 April 2013 (CET)

I looked and looked, but I couldn't find more pictures that weren't copyrighted. Too bad I couldn't just run out with my camera and take some! Licia K (talk) 04:48, 16 April 2013 (CEST)

Well, here it is (the finished product). Hope you like it. Licia K (talk) 03:47, 16 April 2013 (CEST)

Much better than the list of quotes you first pasted on here! Still a little skimpy though - you really could use a little more information in the separate sections. Perhaps you could find some more info if you check out the class texts. Dekeo (talk) 04:41, 16 April 2013 (CEST)

Use bullet points to organize lists (like your quotes section) this will help clean up those sections and make them easily readable. Otherwise looks good! I like the personal commentary. Linksys (talk) 05:39, 16 April 2013 (CEST)

Good idea! I was wondering how I could clean that section up - Thanks! Licia K (talk) 02:18, 17 April 2013 (CEST)
