- To Softlevander - but posters are next to always different in America, India, Scandinavia, the UK, France etc. And hence a tool which is unsatisfying. While the actual movie is the same everywhere, and is included in the art of a film. (Except for when different versions are released like in The Boat) A poster or a DVD/BR is made in order to sell cinema tickets or film copies. Could you please show me exactly where in our guidelines posters is considered to be a more important source than the films themselves. And stands above our Global perspectives - as the posters are different in different countries. Please. Boeing720 (talk) 00:23, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- And about the music, was I taking about about it was used as art. I took your comment to heart, and only described what acually happens. Without any interpretation.
But what about tyhs - for instance (from the plot) "Control and his right-hand man George Smiley are forced into retirement" - that's very much an interpretation. What actually happens is - Control say "A man has to know when it's time to leave the party", then Esterhase (David Dencik) asks "What about Smiley ?" and Control replies "I' take Smiley with me". Question was Smiley forced to resign ? He obey Control, but hardly forced to, as Control already had resigned - and by a good degree of free will, I would say. I don't want to make a large fuzz about this matter - but why is that part not needed a source ? But explaining exactly what happens during the last 3½ minutes does ?
It is a fact, that the film and the music ends simultaneously. But "Control and his right-hand man George Smiley are forced into retirement" isn't a fact but an interpretation made by a contributor. I never did add any own interpretations. And what Colin Firth thought about the role - including a Swedish source Aftonbladet, which are used for other statements as well. I say again - this article isn't owned by anyone. And my contributions are based on either absolute facts - or sources. The reason to all this trouble lies doubtlessly in the way User:TheOldJacobite has behaved. Boeing720 (talk) 00:53, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Boeing720: OK, here's an absolutely clear warning: if you continue to make derogatory remarks about another editor instead of arguing the content dispute itself, I will re-open the AN/I thread I closed and report not only that behavior, but also your unwarranted and inflammatory supposition that someone is suppressing the name of an actor because the actor is Jewish. Just stop this nonsense, please. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:11, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
