Talk:The Lion in Winter (2003 film)

Fair use rationale for Image:The Lion in Winter .jpeg

Image:The Lion in Winter .jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Ice, Ice, Baby

Is the ice thing really a mistake? Maybe the room was warming up and all the ice had not melted just yet. Lots42 (talk) 16:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Syphilis

A goof? Oh, come on... why is this one word singled out? The characters aren't speaking Middle French, Middle English, or Latin, and thus there are thousands of words used whose meaning and pronunciation have changed, if equivalent terms for those concepts even existed at the time. There are many phrases and idioms used that didn't exist in any language of the time. It's a legitimate point to consider whether syphilis was in Europe at all at this time, and that may be a reason to call it a goof. But the fact that the word didn't exist or something might have been called by a different name?! You'd have to throw out most of the movie's dialog to satisfy that constraint. 24.62.5.186 (talk) 04:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. The bit about syphilis not being present in Europe would have to be sourced anyway. DCB4W (talk) 02:25, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Remake of the film?

Was this really a remake of the film, or a new adaptation of the play?Gymnophoria (talk) 17:57, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

It uses the script of the earlier film, very nearly word for word. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 22:01, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
