Talk:The Night Porter

De-saturated color

The film is described in the article as using de-saturated color to evoke a sense of the Holocaust. This is untrue. The film (in its original state) is incredibly vibrant in terms of color. The Criterion DVD (R1, USA) is de-saturated but this is a defective digital transfer rather than an original intention. Compare it with the Istituto Luce DVD (the restored version, R2 Europe). For further details, see: [1]. I suggest removing the above-mentioned reference to de-saturation in the article. Hartopp (talk) 22:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Misc.

Nice writing, congrats to whoever originally typed this out. Tempting to add something about the head in the box scene, not to be confused with the SNL skit.--Megaforcemedia (talk) 00:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I, on the otherhand, was shocked at the poor quality of the writing in this article. Run on sentences, clumsy phrasing, inaccuracies...If I knew the film better I'd volunteer to rectify this. --AN — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.76.46.126 (talk) 00:43, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. Parts of it are a mess and sometimes make no sense. The "themes" section almost read as if it was output from language translations software. I copyedited the themes portion but it still needs sourcing -- where is this from? Someone's film appreciation class paper? It smacks of original research.96.245.116.174 (talk) 19:56, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the previous comment. Apart from the first sentence, the whole of the ‘themes’ section seems to have been added in one edit on 12 October 2009. In the absence of any sources, this appears to be a rather individual interpretation of the film, and I would suggest that we should undo that particular edit.
