thread_title:  Bob Dylan 

message: It is a little more concocted than just "Bromley shoots Ringo in the back". Bromley knows that he'd lose a straight gunfight, but also that an outright shooting in the back would be murder. So he has to concoct a way for Ringo to draw first yet not win, which Bromley does on foot facing Ringo's back and challenging him whilst he is riding away on a horse. Ringo does then draw first and start to turn around but has no chance in that scenario of doing it in time to beat Bromley's straightforward draw, which Bromley deliberately concocted that way. The difference is relevant because it shows that Bromley spends rather a long time plotting it throughout the movie, and explains why the rather simple solution of just shooting Ringo in the back when he wasn't looking wasn't done much earlier by Bromley.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr gobrien (talk • contribs) 20:23, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Hud (1963 film)

message: Patricia Neal was 35 when Hud was shot.  But here her character is described as "middle-aged".  "Middle age" is generally understood to begin in the 40s, and is defined by Miriam-Webster as starting at age 45.  Does Neal specifically play an older character, or are we defining "middle-age" down for women?
::The bibliography used in the article defined the character as a middle-aged woman. The description may have to do with the fact that Alma was in her middle thirties and divorced. Nowadays that does clearly not indicate anything, but I guess that by the standards of the early 1960s society, she was maybe seen as middle-aged. Let's not forget that it was made clear throughout the film she had a turbulent relationship with her previous husband and a few years had gone by in-between that time and she working for the Bannon family. 
::Aside from whatever took anybody to say she was middle-aged, or to define whether she may or may not have been considered at the time so, I just erased the word from the article. I don't think there's too much need to look into that anyway. It may have been the opinion of the writer. Or it could just be that in the book "Halmea" was maybe older? 
::It should be mentioned by the way that Ravetch and Frank Jr. were really progressive writers for their time, and in my opinion did not intend to portray Alma in that light anyway. You can read their feelings about the character here.--GDuwenTell me! 19:02, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:The Professionals (1966 film)

message: The Professionals is prominently mentioned in Glendon Swarthout's 1970 novel Bless the Beasts and Children, serving as a point of coalescence around which the protagonists generate their scheme to take action aimed at stopping the commercial slaughter (under the guise of "hunting") of corralled buffalo. 
Given that this is a contemporary reference to The Professionals and something of its influence in legitimatizing the young generation's defiance of unjust and therefore illegitimate authority, I suggest that it may be appropriate to add mention of this relationship both to the Wikipedia page of The Professionals and to that of Swarthout's novel.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.202.62 (talk) 09:08, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Pleasure Garden (1925 film)

message: All works published in 1925 entered the public domain in the United States on January 1. Per , sources are claiming The Pleasure Garden is copyrighted until 1 Jan 2023 due to it not being released in the UK until 1927. However, it was released in Germany in 1925, albeit under a different title. I won't revert as IANAL but I think we should come to a consensus on this. Does The Pleasure Garden count as being released in 1925 due to its showing in Germany, or do we wait until 2023 for the 1927 date? PDMagazineCoverUploading (talk) 08:18, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:The Mountain Eagle

message: J.L. Kuhns did some exhaustive research for an article on the film which appeared in the Hitchcock Annual (1998).  He states that it was film critic Peter Noble who first made the claim the film (in his 1949 "An Index to the Creative Work of Alfred Hitchcock" article for Sight and Sound) was set in Kentucky by misinterpreting a statement Hitchcock made about the original draft script being set there. He says he found no evidence to support Noble's assumption that Hitchcock intended the film itself to be set in Kentucky and none of the original trade journal synopses make that claim (in fact, the review in The Bioscope implies a European setting for the film).  Other writers (e.g. Spoto) appear to have assumed Noble had seen the film and repeated the Kentucky location, but Kuhns felt that it was unlikely that Noble had seen the film and that he'd based his own synopsis on the one that appeared in The Bioscope. Given Kuhns' research, it would seem appropriate for Wikipedia not to continue Noble's unsubstantiated claim that the film is set in Kentucky. Unless someone objects strongly, I'll edit the article soon to remove the Kentucky references. As a side note, Noble made a surprising number of errors in his summaries of Hitchcock films and was responsible for the erroneous claim that Nita Naldi appeared at "the native girl" in The Pleasure Garden.

It doesn’t follow the film or the source material, ending in a blend of meta-textual conversation between “Hitch” (played by an actor impersonating him) and his characters/ actors (they participate in the discussion in and out of character), questioning him as to why he had called “Cut!” at a tense moment before the story could be resolved dramatically.

thread_title: Assessment

message: Is it not worthy of mention that the title is actually taken from one of Aesop's fables regarding the (bird) Peacock and (the Roman goddess) Juno?  
"The Peacock was greatly discontented because he had not a beautiful voice like the nightingale, and he went and complained to Juno about it. “The nightingale’s song,” said he, “is the envy of all the birds; but whenever I utter a sound I become a laughing-stock.”
The goddess tried to console him by saying, “You have not, it is true, the power of song, but then you far excel all the rest in beauty: your neck flashes like the emerald and your splendid tail is a marvel of gorgeous colour.”
But the Peacock was not appeased. “What is the use,” said he, “of being beautiful, with a voice like mine?”
Then Juno replied, with a shade of sternness in her tones, “Fate has allotted to all their destined gifts: to yourself beauty, to the eagle strength, to the nightingale song, and so on to all the rest in their degree; but you alone are dissatisfied with your portion. Make, then, no more complaints. For, if your present wish were granted, you would quickly find cause for fresh discontent.”"
Partnerfrance (talk) 18:39, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an extremely good point. Furthermore, the peacock owes its beauty to the death of hundred-eyed Argos, who was guarding Io but was lulled to sleep by a long and boring story told by Hermes. When Argos fell asleep Hermes killed him and freed Io, leaving Juno (Hera) to put Argos’ eyes in the peacock’s tail. O’Casey cannot have been unaware of this tradition.

message: Most of Robert Newton's characters had Cornish or Dorset accents, although he doesn't have one in Jamaica Inn.None of the actors in the film plays in anything like a Cornish accent, since none of them (if not for Newton, who however couldn't display one because he portrays a member of the Upper Class) had ever heard one and finally came to sound like Americans badly doing the accent of an East Londoner trying to badly do what they believed a Cornish accent sounded like.Really a pity , although later on in his life Newton made up for this very embarassing situation by portraying  Long John Silver with the very accent all the other actors should have used, but failed to do so since nobody taught them one. Now,thanks to Newton, most cinema and television pirates (although Peter Ustinov and Brad Pitt display again a London accent) have a Cornish or at least West Country like accent.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:B07:6463:99D:4C6F:508F:B39C:2EB9 (talk) 23:53, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Lian and mian, in my opinion, is the same concept in this case. It raises unnecessary confusions to give two separate definition on it. 
Lian is the confidence of society in a person's moral character, while mianzi represents social perceptions of a person's prestige.  --- yau 2 May 2006
The way I understood this, while the two concepts are indeed related, they are distinct. For example, a loss of Lian will generally translate in a loss of goodwill and could occur when, for example, a business man is caught stealing. Also, Mianzi can occur without Lian (for example, in the case of a military commander who enjoys mianzi before the conquered people) and vice-versa.
