Talk:Buried (film)

Misleading Synopsis

The plot description makes it sound like the film focusses on solving the mystery around how he got to where he is, which it absolutely doesn't. In fact, it all becomes very apparent in the first half hour and the rest is just him dealing with the situation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.45.43 (talk) 22:50, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

"US truck driver, awakens buried alive, bound and gagged, with only a Zippo and a mobile phone." => That isn't true. First of all, he has a pencil as well and in addition there are more objects in the coffin, such as a flashlight and a knife. Just because a website doesn't get it right doesn't mean that wikipedia has to copy wrong statements = the source given is wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.44.196.146 (talk) 09:31, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

CSI Episode

The premise of this film reminds me of an episode in CSI where one of the main characters was buried alive in a coffin. Would it be worth mentioning a similarity? I don't know whether this CSI episode influenced the production of this film, but a link's there... 86.156.98.235 (talk) 18:11, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

The theme of being buried alive is more prevalent than this film and the CSI episode. I did a little research, and there is a book called Buried Alive: The Terrifying History of Our Most Primal Fear which has a chapter titled "Literary Premature Burials" that talks about this theme. It has some coverage of films, especially ones based on Poe's "The Premature Burial". Surprisingly, Wikipedia's article premature burial does not have much about the topic in fictional works. I think that instead of mentioning the CSI episode, we should try to have a "In fiction" section at premature burial and link to that. Erik (talk | contribs) 19:29, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

There used to be an "In popular culture section" on the "premature burial" page. The discussion page still reports a (brief) discussion about eliminating most of it. You can see what was removed two years ago as a result of that decision here: [1]. The section was later renamed "In Literature" and eventually "In films" and "In music" sections were added and the long example list returned. In January 2010 those sections all got removed. See what they had in them here: [2].142.177.23.201 (talk) 01:16, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Warning

It's the first page I read about a movie in Wiki. Thank God I saw the movie yesterday. There should be a kind of warning that all the info even the end is being described. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.189.61.156 (talk) 12:51, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

this is true he has two glowsticks a flash light meds a pencil and a black berry phone and his lighter what i want to know is did he die at the end and if so why kill him off after all he had survived through? it was a good movie but a suckie ending that leaves you wondering why????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.155.175.3 (talk) 17:37, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Because it is a different kind of movie with no happy ending. Not the typical Hollywood- "Everything will work out fine" -film.--80.136.106.128 (talk) 08:06, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

This is an encyclopaedia, not a TV paper. You read what's fact in an encyclopaedia. That's like complaining that in the article of WW II is written how the war ended.--31.17.153.216 (talk) 23:46, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Error in "Plot" section

In the first half of the film the plot section claims "Paul is able to contact the FBI, but they cut off before he can explain the situation. However, he is able to determine from the questions the FBI official asks him that he has been kidnapped." This is incorrect on two counts: his previous call with the FBI is unrelated, he later talks to a woman at homeland security who indirectly informs him that he has been kidnapped. Despite the protagonists seeming surprise, this conclusion is already obvious from his previous statement that he has been in contact with one of the people who ambushed him, and they are demanding money. Regardless, it is certainly not the FBI nor the questions asked which inform him of the kidnapping. 213.105.26.59 (talk) 15:25, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Where does the snake come from?

if really buried, then where does the snake come from? This is weird. Jackzhp (talk) 23:15, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Just where it went to. The hole in the coffin.--31.17.153.216 (talk) 23:44, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Matt Damon

From the IGN award onward Matt Damon was listed as getting nominations? I don't know enough about those awards to know if he was... but he couldn't have been nominated for this movie...as he wasn't in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.194.127.36 (talk) 14:49, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Reynolds 30th birthday?

Just to make this clear, if the film's events take place on Reynolds' birthday, that is not a "plot device". At the moment, it's unsourced trivia, possibly derived from the film's Wikia page. The film is not about Reynolds and his own 30th birthday is not relevant unless you find a source stating it was somehow relevant (like an inside joke on the set). All that was there before I removed it was a blank statement in Production (not Plot) of something without either a source or reason why it is relevant to the article.
