Talk:Si Tjonat

PR
Just a few comments I didn't manage to get in before the PR closed. I've made a few tweaks here and there: feel free to revert anything you don't like.

Lead
 * "He is captured after kidnapping an ethnic Chinese woman, defeated by her fiancé." A bit clumsy - could do with a re-working
 * Tried. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Plot
 * ''Tjonat stops supporting his wife and returning home" Ditto
 * Tried. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Production
 * Any chance of a wl or footnote to explain what a "lenong" performance is?
 * Traditional theatre. Will redlink. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Ditto for "peranakan"?
 * Linked in plot. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Images Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 19:28, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Any chance of another images? this one? Or one with both - something with two Wongs would make it right.... (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun!)
 * Three Wongs to make it right, actually, but I haven't found an early enough publication date for that image. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Name of the film
I enjoy these Indonesian film articles as they are almost completely outside my scope of knowledge. But this one really frustrated me. Having reached para two I got that Tjonat is the central character's name, but never came to what the title meant. So I tried the article Tjerita Si Tjonat, which has a useful translation "The Story of Si Tjonat", so "Si" cannot mean "of", leaving my best guess as at least the loose equivalent of "Mr". But now, on this page, I find it's bit different. Also, there is no relevant explanation at Si. As this is en.wiki shouldn't that explanation be in a footnote from the film title in the Lead?
