Talk:Girlhood (film)

Soundtrack

the Soundtrack is totally wrong all over the Internet. I remember clearly in the cinema there have been lots of different bands listed in the closing credits. Including Rihanna and others (which ones?). But all over the internet only one band is listed (Para One). Anyone can recall the real OST ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.115.132.109 (talk) 10:17, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Reception

There was a lot of opposition to this movie that was not mentioned in the Reception section. It talked about the mostly positive reception of the film. However, there were many skeptics about the authenticity and the race of the woman creating it. We are currently learning about this in my class at Michigan State University. So, just as a minor suggestion, in order to make the reception section more neutral, the author could mention this scrutiny I've discussed above. Carleymarion (talk) 20:13, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Response to Article

Hello,

I think this is a great start for the article! The plot was very detailed and helps the reader understand the issues of the film. However, I feel that more citations and/or external links should be added throughout the majority of the body of the article. That way other issues of women's studies can be related back to the article. Also possibly adding a section about the movie's director and how she is white in comparison to the characters that are black. This had a major influence on the film and how it was perceived by viewers and it might be interesting to add in. Overall, great start to the article!

Lead Section Draft

Here is my draft of the lead section. I just added some more background information. Please make edits if need be. My biggest concern is plagiarism.

Girlhood (French: Bande de filles, Gang of Girls) is a 2014 French drama film written and directed by Céline Sciamma who starring Karidja Toure. It is a coming of age film that focuses on the life of Marieme (Karidja Toure) who lives in a rough neighborhood right outside of Paris Throughout the film, issues surrounding race, gender and class are frequently brought up and challenged. Sciamma's goal through writing and directing Girlhood was to capture the stories of characters, generally in French films, who are commonly untold and understood, specifically black teenagers It was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.[3] It was also screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[4] It received four nominations at the 40th César Awards, including Best Director for Céline Sciamma and Most Promising Actress for Karidja Touré. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plotkinh (talk • contribs)

• Plotkinh, the biggest problem is see is with WP:LEDE: the lede you produced was a bit wordy and contained too much detail. I have trimmed it some: much of the gender and race stuff should really be in the article, in expanded form--what's there now is a bit shallow and cursory.

• Oppose per above, and I think there could be potential for core articles for boyhood and girlhood. A bit surprised that child does not use either term. Could even have articles crossing boyhood or girlhood "in" individual countries or certain cultures, e.g. boyhood in the United States.
