Talk:Ran (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OK, this looks good for an initial expansion, but more work has to be done. I'm out of the game until the Criterion Collection edition comes out in another month, but anyone who has The Warrior's Camera handy is welcome to continue. I'm not very happy with the quotes, but I don't have my copy with me so I can't put some better ones up. Palm_Dogg 14:21, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Good article listing
I see you've self-nominated this as a Good article - and I thoroughly agree and support this nomination. This is well on it's way to Featured standard IMHO. I'll perform a more full review when I get a serious chunk of time - so please don't hold your breath. For now, well done, sir. :-) --Estarriol 10:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Character Links
I noticed that a couple of the characters names have working links. Ikoma links to the Japanese city of Ikoma, Nara and Tango links to a disambig page, which doesn't include the Ran character (although it does include the Tango Province of Japan). These links should be edited so they're not pointing to incorrect pages, but I'm not sure of the naming convention in this case - for example, would you use Tango (Ran character)? Or Tango (Ran 1985 film character)??
Secondly, and forgive me if I'm wide of the mark on this, but if the names Ikoma and Tango were used in the film intentionally as being representative of those real Japanese regions, then something should be noted about this... Gram 21:11, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- No clue about Ikoma/Tango, but cleared out the character links. Palm_Dogg 15:14, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Applause
As a new Wikipedia contributor, I have to say that I find this article rich and well-forged. Those who contributed to it should feel pleased with themselves. This is excellent work on a movie that deserves excellence. Thank you. --BridgeBurner 06:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Different Interpretation
I think when you were dicussing The film in comparison to the play, Lady Kaede may not have been somewhat representing Goneril, but more likely embodying Edmund, in his lust for distinction, and the affection of two of Lear's children for him that led them to be deceived. As well as Lady Kaede's obvious lament of her birth, thinking she would have been a better man/ruler than Hidetora's sons if she had been born to the position, very much akin to Edmund's lament over his bastard standing, when he is obviously more competent than Gloucester's legitimate heir Edgar.
