Talk:The Favourite

The ending
I think the final scene is more ambiguous and open to interpretation than a previous editor thought. I've taken out the last sentence of the plot section because I think it's questionable, and more fitting for a film review than an encyclopaedia. Richard75 (talk) 19:37, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Genre
Hey guys was wondering if we could get a consensus to change the genre in the first line which already states "historical period drama" to possibly "black-comedy" instead of just "drama", or as well as "drama". As the film quite notably shows subtle hints of comedy and is very comedic at times, which definitely does not fit into the conventions of a solely drama film and is represented as a black comedy film more so by numerous outlets. Would be happy to discuss further or be shown if this has already been discussed. Cheers -Stuv3 (talk) 12:56, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

"Is a British"
The Director is born and raised in Greece. Let's leave Nationalism out of it and don't say where it's "from". -- f s  05:26, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Destroying history making the public ignorant
In the scene in which Abigail is surrounded by several women listening to a lyrical singer, an African woman with a white wig appears seated, which leads to ridicule the filmmaker's desire for integration altering the historical truth, soon we will have a film showing the Queen Elizabeth as dark-skinned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.213.176.215 (talk) 08:33, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Robert Harley, a Tory Member of Parliament
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but in this film Harley is clearly represented as a Whig, and indeed he was part of the Whig party until a later defection to the Tory party. I know the film is not claiming to be historically accurate, but the film clearly represents this Whig v Tory Parliamentary battle, so to call Harley the opposite to what he is in the film is incorrect. In the film, he is leader of the opposition to Godolophin, Prime Minister and leader of the Tory party. I'm going to edit the page to say that Harley was the Leader of the Opposition and remove the misleading political label attributed to him, as this a spoiler free description of his role in the film.
