Talk:The Shootist

message: Should the article contain information about the extras on the DVD?  Meaning the Interviews, and such? Ched (talk) 12:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  DVD 

message: Since the article is mainly about the film, the first sentence is misleading. I would suggest something along these lines: "The Shootist is a 1976 Western film directed by Don Siegel and is noted as being the final film role of actor John Wayne. The film is based on the novel written by Glendon Swarthout and published in 1975.[1]".Agreed? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 07:24, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Focus on the film 

message: I think that the article gets this wrong. Books asks Gillom Rogers to inform the three men that he will be at the saloon. The saloon owner was not one of the three, as it says in the article. The saloon owner comes out after Books kills the three men. The other, I believe, was a gunfighter, although he's not mentioned here.Mk5384 (talk) 06:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what you consider to be inaccurate. Sweeney, Pulford, and Cobb are all mentioned. The bartender who ultimately kills Books was played by an uncredited Charles G. Martin, according to IMDb. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:21, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  final gunfight 

message: From User:Hawkswill:
New Major Addition by Keith Payne  
After probably over 100 viewings of The Shootist, while getting ready to do some sketches I noticed something that I had never seen or read anything about in all these years.  Made me think twice again about the way Duke felt about whether or not this would be his last movie.  Not only was he very ill and the finishing of the film was in question, but, he named the landlady his best friend, Bond, but there was one thing that has been overlooked all these years.  And NOW, it stands out like a huge nugget of gold in a stream.  In the final scene for Duke, he lies covered by Gillom's coat.  Directly behind him in the middle of his body in the background is one of the symbols of Duke's entire life.....his extreme patriotism.  What is it, why the American Bald Eagle, the symbol of our country, Duke's country.  It took us 36 years to find this.  Wonder if there are anymore nuggets like this out there.  Remember, Duke learned from the best....Pappy Ford.  When asked about symbolism which we know he used in all of his really good movies, he always said, "Just a job of 'werk'".  Look again, do YOU honestly believe that eagle in that position at THAT time was an accident?  Duke, you have once more remindedus of the true patriot you were.  May you never stop doing so.
:Hawkswill states it "... had never been reported or spoken of since the making of the movie 36 years ago". Until it has by WP:reliable sources, it's WP:original research. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:25, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The article states, "She [Lauren Bacall] is concerned about Gillom, who has grown up without a father's influence...."  In the movie, she stated that she had only been a widow for a year.67.45.102.251 (talk) 23:54, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
