Revert of edit on The Royal Hotel - "the fact that they were pretending to be Canadians is not relevant to the overall plot".

[edit]

HiSnapSnap,

=> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Royal_Hotel_(film)&oldid=prev&diff=1200691256

I would disagree on the irrelevance of Hanna and Liv's only pretending to be Canadian, without actually being Canadians - throughout the film there are numerous references to Canada and attributes commonly associated with Canada and Canadians (like grizzly bears, for example), Hanna bakes a cake for Liv with Canadian flag on the top which Liv drops on being presented with as her birthday present - all those things which of course would make sense and have more meaning to Canadians rather than to two Americans girls only pretending to be Canadians (due to perceived goodwill towards the Canucks and possible antipathy towards Americans), and all that could be very easily missed on if the watcher misses that short exchange between Liv, Torsten and Hanna in the first minutes of the film (very easy to miss because of the noisy music in the background)... Hence that need to make this little but important fact obvious, in my opinion. But I'm not going to kick up a fuss about that.

BTW, "outback" is usually not capitalised when used as adjective - yes, it is often capitalised as noun ("The Outback"), but not in phrases like "little outback town" : => https://www.dictionary.com/browse/outback

@Szagory: Hi. Yes, there are a few references to the girls' in-joke throughout the film, but it's a very minor subplot that adds no real significance to the overall plot (i.e., two young women in a foreign country experiencing misogyny), and its omission from the plot section will not affect the reader's understanding of the plot. Per MOS:FILMPLOT, we're supposed to avoid trivial, minor details such as individual jokes. Thank you for your explanation regarding the capitalization of "outback", though – I'll correct this in the article. snapsnap (talk) 19:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
HiSnapSnap,
Just as a suggestion: what about using an EFN (explanatory footnote, => EFN) there to say something like "but pretending to be Canadian, as is apparent from dialogue in the film's opening scene", i.e. stating that inline comment in WP:Plot unobtrusively? Saw it used in another film-related page and thought it looked nice and helpful (=> Fallen Leaves (film)#Plot). 😉
Have a nice Sunday,
