Talk:Legends of the Fall

message: In the film Suzanna (Julia Ormond) plays at the piano with Samuel singing some music (some kind of lullaby). The lyrics talk about a "Fair lady" at "the end of the wood". It looks like a very traditional and folk tune. What is the music? --User:Mdob
:It's a song called "Twilight and Mist". It's by James Horner, who composed the score for the film. Ambi 23:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Having watched the film for the first time last night, and then read this article today,
I'd say the bit in the intro about the film ending briefly in 1963 is a spoiler.  I'm
certainly glad I didn't know that in advance.  Since it's largely based in 1910-1930
perhaps "and it ends briefly in 1963" should be removed.  Ralph Corderoy 09:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grammar 

message: It's baffling why someone had Christina Pickles as the actress playing Isabel Ludlow. (!) Pickles is a good actress but not even similar in looks, age or phonetics to the actual person who played Isabel: Karina Lombard. Anyway, I corrected it. (Just forgot to login before I did. <g>)

message: the article said the the O'Banion brothers were "irish american gangsters". they were, if the accent is any indication. Irish immigrants who becamse gangsters. they were no Irish-Americans. Bannedtruth (talk) 19:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Nonsense. They were living in the USA. They were either Americans of Irish descent or born in Ireland, but either way that makes them Irish-Americans. There is not enough info in the film to distinguish the two possibilities. Believe me I've met many US citizens, many born here, who have accents derived from their ancestry or community. Avoid OR. DMorpheus (talk) 22:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If they are citizens, then they are Irish-American. Also, these characters are supposed to have lived in circumstances very different from you and your mother - far more isolated in a small community than someone brought up in modern America constantly bombarded with voices on TV etc. They would be more likely to have retained the accents of their parents than would modern kids subject to peer pressure to be 'American'. But anyway, it's a movie. It's not real. Paul B (talk) 15:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course they are. If you're going to argue that hard for your point of view, which makes absolutely no sense (I mean, seriously, if someone who comes from Ireland and becomes a naturalized American isn't "Irish American", who the heck is?) then maybe you want to cite a source for your opinion. There might not even be a formal and rigid definition of the term, in fact I suspect there is not, but I assure you, in the vernacular, "Irish American" correctly identifies an American citizen originally from Ireland.

message: I didn't want to revert, since they were well-intended edits, but the recent additions to the plot add way, way too much editor analysis of this film.  Bordering on the need for citations, which, in the plot section, is a bit absurd.  They need to be toned back down. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 16:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thought, I am reverting.  Simply too much original research. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 16:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Not if the genre is baguala but resembles it.
That issue is and who is the interpreter?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mama21mama (talk • contribs) 21:08, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
