Talk:Brooklyn (film)

Movie shoot in Montreal
'at the Memorial chapter house of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.' The source footnoted does not support this clause. Seems like vandalism. Jrgilb (talk) 04:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Or maybe just the writer can't put words on a page. The whole thing is a mess. cheers Billyshiverstick (talk) 18:55, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Disastrous writing
Hi - whoever wrote this article seems to have rushed through at light speed cribbing off a press release. Considering that it was likely the filmakers, you would do yourself a service to have somebody clean it up. As a volunteer, I don't want to make time for what is at this point part of your commercial responsibility to your backers. sheesh! Awful stuff. Billyshiverstick (talk) 18:54, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

We are a group of students working on an assignment User:gcsim2 User:Pippaager User:Ruby369 User:Adriana17253 User:Stefanoskostaneinos

User:Adriana17253 I think the page is missing the historical context section. I would go through academic sources in order to add a paragraph on Irish Immigration of 1860-1930 still keeping it relevant to the film.

User:Pippaager I think the page needs to reference the original book, I plan to glean similarities in the representation of the plight of an Irish emigrant by writer Colm Toibin and director John Crowley. Pippaager (talk) 12:56, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

User:Ruby369 I plan to provide well-cited information on the historical context of the film involving Irish citizens immigrating to Brooklyn in the 1950s. I will link this to the characters and how the historical background of that time period may have influenced their actions in the film. Ruby369 (talk) 12:57, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

User:gcsim2 In terms of referencing the original book, I think it is important to reference it's popularity; such as awards won, to communicate why it was able to be made into a film. gcsim2 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 11:27, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
