| 2 | * CreatorBacklash: Terry Eagleton, who wrote the original script, said in the forward to the published screenplay (which contains both his script and the rather different shooting script, by Jarman and Ken Butler) that whereas he thought his script was "reasonably strong on ideas but short on dramatic action; Jarman's, minus my own interpolations, seems to me just the other way round." He did, however, concede that the finished film was more visually and dramatically interesting than his original script would have been. |
| 3 | * FakeNationality: English actor Karl Johnson playing Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. |
| 4 | * LifeImitatesArt: Wittgenstein fought in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI: [[http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/clancychassay Clancy Chassay]], who plays Young Ludwig, has gone on to be a respected war correspondent, reporting from Lebanon, Afghanistan and Gaza, among other places. |
| 5 | * ThrowItIn: Derek Jarman encouraged this in his movies, and some of the letters that Ottoline reads out were suggested by Tilda Swinton. When Ottoline appears wearing bizarre face paint, this was also Swinton's idea. |
