Fair use rationale for Image:Willard 1971.jpg edit

 

Image:Willard 1971.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Problems with Plot edit

The Plot section has some problems. It says, "On his 27th birthday he leaves the party out of embarrassment." What party? "Willard trains his rats to follow his commands and kills Mr. Martin after confronting him." So, does Willard kill Mr. Martin or does Willard command the rats to kill him? The use of "kills" implies Willard, but it would make more sense if the rats did it. "Willard decides to steal money from his boss. He orders the rats to 'tear it up' and puts them in front of the door." Tear what up? Finally, I am a little puzzled why Willard bothers to trap the rat family on the center rock in the pond, rats being excellent swimmers. However, I guess that one can be put down to the scriptwriter.

VHS and DVD/Blu-ray combo release edit

Prism Video released this film on VHS and Shout! Factory released it on DVD/Blu-ray combo. These facts should've been included in here long ago.Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 03:48, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

WP:SOFIXIT? Though bear in mind that retail websites such as Amazon generally are not considered reliable sources for release date information as they are not sufficiently curated. DonIago (talk) 19:39, 28 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
