Talk:Your papers, please

"Not in citation given" flag

This is the quote from the cited source: "Within the context of unrestrained police powers, "your papers, please" is wielded like a weapon. It serves its purpose well in Casablanca, one of the first World War II war propaganda films produced by Hollywood in cooperation with the US Office of War Information's Bureau of Motion Pictures. As a symbol of corrupt, unchecked unilateral power, the phrase embodies something worth fighting against. After Casablanca, many World War II films began incorporating "your papers, please" as a film trope. The phrase evolved into an enduring cultural metaphor that concisely and viscerally conveys what we are not about here in America. This message still resonates today."

Soviet Union

There should be mention of the passport system in the former Soviet Union which had a similar system set up that monitored people traveling around the USSR, especially travel between the republics. There was formed an effective police state regarding this passport system prior to and during the time of National Socialist Germany. 2601:8C:4581:1150:2DB8:3A11:7D57:FA70 (talk) 01:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

This should be expanded to include "Your Vaccine Passport, Please"

The push in many states to require "Your papers, please" to prove that you had the Covid vaccine is eerily similar to this. Proving who you are and demanded to do so by the state, or face penalties. 2600:1700:1EC1:30C0:9147:E7DB:50C6:3FA3 (talk) 22:14, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

If reliable references have made the link then it may deserve a sentence. But if "Your Vaccine Passport, Please" is a stand alone phrase in reliable references it may need its own page. Dushan Jugum (talk) 23:02, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
