TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

There are flashbacks, done with "home movies". Some were created for this movie, and some are footage of Philomena's actual son.

In the United States, the M.P.A.A. gave this movie an "R" rating for ambiguous usage of the "f-word" (usually, only one non-sexual utterance of the word is permitted for "PG-13"). A lengthy appeals process ensued, with producer Harvey Weinstein and writer, producer, and actor Steve Coogan testifying at the hearings in Los Angeles. The Weinstein Company won their appeal for "PG-13" on November 13, 2013, nearly a week before the scheduled theatrical release.

Several decades later, partly due to the original book, it became apparent just how common stories like Philomena's were in Ireland before, during, and after the 1950s. Revelations about widespread forced adoptions, and abuse of children and unmarried mothers by the Roman Catholic Church and other religious organizations, have given this movie a much darker undercurrent than originally intended.

While visiting the convent, Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan) sees an autographed photo of an American actress on the wall and asks if it is Jayne Mansfield (and is told it's actually Jane Russell). Peter Hermann, who appears later in this movie, is married to Jayne Mansfield's daughter, Mariska Hargitay.

At the beginning of this movie, when Philomena has sex at the fair, the camera pans down to an apple with a bite taken. It's a not-so-subtle reference to the original sin.

Popular Dialogues

"Martin Sixsmith: The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. Philomena: That's lovely, Martin. Did you just think of that? Martin Sixsmith: No, it's T.S. Eliot"

"Philomena: And after I had the sex, I thought anything that feels so lovely must be wrong. Martin Sixsmith: Fucking Catholics."
