Talk:The Most Beautiful

Untitled
The "Twelve O'Clock High" claim on the main page is incorrect and should be removed from this page, it says a citation is needed, but I doubt one will be found. Kinketsu (talk) 22:10, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I removed the "Twelve O'Clock High" claim. It's no doubt entirely untrue and unlikely, and I've started to see it repeated in other places due to this wikipedia page. The two films have very little to do with each other, either in plot, direction or any other facet of content. Further more, Twelve O'Clock High was made in 1949, only a few years after The Most Beautiful and over a year before Kurosawa caught international attention with Rashomon. At this time, Kurosawa was unknown outside of the Japanese film industry (this was only his second picture) and movies like The Most Beautiful, Sanshiro Sugata II and They Who Step On The Tiger's Tail had been banned or supressed by the occupying SCAP.

The film was listed a docudrama. This is entirely untrue, so I edited out the "docu-" assertion. It seems much of Kurosawa's early work is subject to aggresive and incorrect POV because so few people have seen the films. Unfortunately this stuff is getting repeated around the internet as if fact. Is there any way to call for the attention of someone senior in the Wikipedia movie staff to take a look at these articles? Kinketsu (talk) 11:59, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Dubious
I have changed the "Citation needed" notice for the "variant title" of this film. I had already found "citations" for this title (hundreds of them, in fact!) when I first questioned it. My concern was that it doesn't belong in the opening sentence if the film never actually released under this title. Film historians and the like come up with their own translations of film titles all the time, and for convenience we should make redirects and possibly mention them somewhere in the article. But bold and italics, let alone being in the opening sentence, should be reserved for actual release titles rather than what a few reputable, but ultimately unrelated, researchers have said. elvenscout742 (talk) 05:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
