Good Article Review needed

Like for many older articles, this is not up to modern standards. Setting aside minor issues such as citation to a book without page numbers (Beuka 2004), and some unreference content, there is issues with source's reliability. Religious interpretation section is based on " The Association for Mormon Letters" - what makes this website reliable? The second reference in that section reads like trivia with no religious connection ("Christof is compared with Screwtape, the eponymous character of the 1942 The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis.").

The "Psychoanalytic interpretation" section has a quotation from an academic paper (fine but likely should be rewritten to not be a quotation), and then the second paragraph is a lenghty quotation as well. And the latter again irrelevant to "Psychoanalytic", it's more of a general philosophy remark related to the concept of the Plato’s cave.

This is non-exhaustive, but I think this needs to be downgraded from GA to B or C class. Is there anyone who wants to update this to modern standards before a WP:GAR?

I had just made minor fixes. I have no investment one way or another in this article. – sgeureka ^t•c 06:18, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Philip Glass cameo

In the print of the film that is currently available on YouTube, Philip Glass’s cameo appearance is credited as “Keyboard Artist” (1:38:57). So “uncredited cameo” may not be accurate? Daniel Wagenaar (talk) 06:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now fixed, thanks. Barry Wom (talk) 08:57, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
