neutral · AI labelView post →Building a nascent conspiracy: In 2011 The Wolfman won best makeup at the 83rd academy awards. there were only two other nominees. Barney's Version and The Way Out, a character drama and the other some kind of labor camp escape/survival film. why only three nominees? why did Wolfman won an Oscar?
neutral · AI labelView post →For example, it claimed Dustin Hoffman's character in the film "Barney's Version," based on the novel by Mordecai Richler, was a rabbi named Larry Levy and inspired by this nonexistent rabbi. There is a film adaptation, but Hoffman played Izzy Panofsky, not a rabbi. So it mines "facts" to lie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I realised today that I've had a very high success rate over the years of blind watching a film, and really enjoying it, and it stars Paul Giamatti. Sideways, Barney's Version, The Holdovers, I've not been disappointed.
positive · AI labelView post →Wild Cards - CBC's just-smarter-than-it-looks cop-and-con procedural - is back for a third season. I sat down with creator Michael Konyves to learn how he went from Barney's Version to blue-sky TV. Definitely a hint of a Richler character in his hustle! www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...
neutral · AI labelView post →For example, it claimed Dustin Hoffman played a rabbi inspired by this rabbi's father in the film version of "Barney's Version" from the novel by Mordecai Richler. Hoffman was in the film, but not a rabbi, and had nothing to do with a nonexistent person. It also got the director wrong.
neutral · AI labelView post →Classic Canadian academia that he's basically ignored, but Richler's influence is still out there internationally. Gary Shteyngart has said his favourite book is Barney's Version. Josh Safdie's acknowledged the major influence of Duddy Kravitz on Marty Supreme. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...
