Isis, I feel that you must prove that this film is considered propagandistic via some means. I am a librarian, have seen the film, and did not come away with your views. If you can state that there has some discussion of this , then I won't feel like removing those paragraphs stating the impression of a pro-computer sentiment of this vintage motion picture --Two Halves
- Do a Google search on the title and 'review' to see some of the pages I based my draft on. They use more modern terms than the word "propaganda," like "product placement," to discuss the effect the film was supposed to have of diffusing anxiety about computers, and if you have a problem with that word, then please change it to something you can live with, but I don't think you can disagree with the librarians and computer folks who wrote those essays explaining what a positive light the film deliberately shed on those occupations. -- isis 07:00 Jan 5, 2003 (UTC)
With all the recent discussion of the use of copyrighted images in the Wikipedia, I am not sure if the image contained in the article should be continued to be displayed. I would like to get other opinions, however. Please feel free to respond at will. --Two halves 05:40 Feb 16, 2003 (UTC)
- I think it's been decided that showing video covers is covered under Fair Use. -- Zoe
