Talk:The Day of the Locust (film)

Untitled

I didn't get this line, so I changed it: Donald Sutherland, who plays Homer Simpson, later made a guest appearance on an episode of The Simpsons. Sutherland doesn't play Homer Simpson. What's up?

Does he not play a character named "Homer Simpson" in this film. IMDb says he does, and has so for at least five years.--Tim Thomason 20:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, according to Google search, including links to serious analysis of the film, Sutherland's character is apparently indeed named Homer Simpson. Is it known whether the Simpsons character was named after the Day of the Locust character, or was this a coincidence? 70.72.211.35 (talk) 01:47, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

"Homer" was the name of Matt Groening's father. The book Planet Simpson speculates that the name "Homer Simpson" could have come from The Day of the Locust and that perhaps it was combined with Groening's father's name. Don't know if it is worth mentioning here. Feels like the article is lacking more relevant information about the film itself. Erik (talk | contribs) 15:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Big Sister

The "big sister" character is clearly meant to be Aimee Semple McPherson I'm trying to find a source to back this up. Robin J Thomson (talk) 20:11, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
