Talk:Yamato (film)

Hello
I, Kuhlfürst like this movie really much and I improved this page by adding an overall image of the storyline of the film. I am going to write short overviews of the characters of the film later, and I want to ask that I know I am a bad writer, and if someone sees need to improve my writing (typos, adding etc..) feel free to do it, just don't throw my work to trash without good reason :D So, I would like that other Yamato fans would help me getting this article in shape. It's sad to see such good movie have a stub here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuhlfürst (talk • contribs) 16:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Yū Aoi
The character Taeko Nozaki, portrayed by Yū Aoi is not actually Katsumi Kamio's cousin, but her girlfriend. This misunderstanding may have arose from her calling Katsumi's mother "Obasan," the dictionary meaning of which is "The female sibling of one's parents". It however commonly acts a polite way of addressing older women in Japanese. It should be changed. Post any objections. M miyama (talk) 14:38, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Found a source to cite, and so changed it. It's too bad that they never released any official subtitles for it. The only ones floating around the net are done by amateurs and are laden with mistakes. Let me know if anyone finds good ones though.

Stub
Should this no loner be a stub? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuhlfürst (talk • contribs) 12:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Title Translation
I'm but a beginner in my Japanese studies, but is "Men of Yamato" an official translation of 男たちの大和? The translated meaning seems to me something more like "The Men's (Sailors') Yamato," imparting a sense of participation and ownership through shared memories, which is what the film portrays. Therefore, I'm not sure if "Men of Yamato" is a good translation of 「男たちの大和」. Any ideas, comments, explanations would be appreciated. XRedcomet (talk) 03:42, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

As there is no further discussion on this matter, I have changed the translated title of "Yamato" from "Men of Yamato" to "The Men's Yamato," as I feel that to be more accurate. If anyone feels that he/she has a more accurate/appropriate translation, please don't hesitate to discuss it here on the talk page before making a change - thanks! --XRedcomet (talk) 03:07, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I speak Japanese, and I agree that the proper translation is more like "The Men's Yamato", the ship Yamato is being said to belong to the men. Or the ship is being presented as "manly". Identity0 (talk) 13:31, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Please take note that Yamato is a word used for Japan. At one stage used as a name for the country, now used with heavy connection to the "Japanese Spirit".M miyama (talk) 12:03, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Awards Section
I saw a section in Yamato's IMDB page regarding the awards it received. Can someone help with finding the proper sources for this? Thanks. --Eaglestorm (talk) 14:25, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Name of the ship 'Asuka Maru'
Maru is a suffix added to many japanese ships. There's no need to translate it as "circle". The name quoting it should be deleted if no sensible translation can be provided. M miyama (talk) 12:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
