The Beguiled
Contrary to popular belief, McBurney's heritage was not changed to suit Colin Farrell's natural accent. The character is Irish in the book. Farrell was not initially going to use his Dublin accent but pushed to have the movie accurate to the original story.,Corporal McBurney sets about sharpening a tool on a whetstone wheel in the garden during his rehabilitation. However, he spins the wheel towards himself as he begins to get it going. This is incorrect. The wheel should be spun away from the user, so that the tool "skims" over the surface, and doesn't have a chance of digging into the wheel and jamming the tool into the user.,[from trailer]

Performed by Oona Laurence (uncredited),Based on a book in which each female character expresses her point of view, holds dark secrets, and competes with her fellows, this movie offers many establishing shots and little more. Two primary characters from the book don't make it into the movie, but a nothing character, who adds nothing to the plot, is added. The secrets of one character are hinted at and never revisited. Of course readers of the book know why--the character was seriously miscast. The women and girls never open their hearts to the injured soldier they take in, so we as viewers have no idea as to their motivations. They try to relay all through meaningful looks, but fall short. Personalities that should evolve and shine are stunted and dull. This is a character-based story that has been so diluted it's shares only the title with the original work.,
