Talk:The Field (play)

message: I removed the following paragraph, which refers to differences between the original play and the later film adaptation:
In this adaptation, the character of Bird O' Donnell appeared as Bull's simpleton henchman, which was not the case in the original play, also he didn't whistle like he had in the play and was much active.
In the play, he was a clever middle-aged laidback alcoholic, who appeared as a much more neutral character rather than being on siding with morals or siding with Bull McCabe.
Normally, I'd try to fix something like this, but in this case I can't make out what the author was trying to say. I guess "and was much active" probably was meant to be "and was much more active," but "rather than being on siding with morals or siding with Bull McCabe" is completely opaque to me.
I suppose if I had seen the play, or if I had seen the movie more recently, I may be able to work it out. Certainly, the paragraph is enumerating a few specific differences between the play and the film. As such, I'm not sure that it adds to the article; but if someone wants to clean it up and put it back in, I won't take my GI Joe and go home or anything. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 00:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Miller Going Rogue?

message: A note I added was removed as 'editorializing' (notwithstanding that, in terms of address [check your Debrett's Correct Form], my note reflected indisputable fact), so I shall repeat the observation here: in the film, a character is referred to both as 'Lord William Holmes' and 'Lord Holmes'; the latter is far more commonly used- including in a shot of an English newspaper- and 'Lord William Holmes' is first used by a female American reporter (who would be unlikely to understand the distinction). He cannot be both 'Lord William Holmes' and 'Lord Holmes'; the former indicates his father to be a peer, and the latter implying he himself is a peer (although the fact that 'Holmes' is a name implies a Life Peer, which would be unusual for a character such as this who is supposed to be a royal, and would be likely to have a locational title which is usually of far higher status). Given that 'Lord X Y' is the formulation for a younger son of a Duke or Marquess (the eldest being likely to bear one of the peer's lesser titles), perhaps he is supposed to be the son of a royal duke, in which case the more numerous references to 'Lord Holmes' within the film are misleading. We are unfortunate in this case in that the film is not based on a book, which might clarify matters.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.202.23 (talk • contribs)
