reviews section[edit]

"Lost in Translation was boosted by universal critical acclaim...It has a rating of 95% "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes..."

the 95% (as opposed to 100%) means "universal" can't be used re the critical acclaim, unless with a qualifier, like "near-universal". needs changing to avoid being logically contradictory. 63.142.146.194 (talk) 05:56, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Help me.[edit]

Ive tried to make an edit and its gone awry. Please help me. 81.156.136.199 (talk) 09:31, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits are incorrect and unhelpful – as usual. This film is not a Japanese co-production as there are no Japanese companies involved in the production. It does not matter what AFI says, WP has its own standards for determining a film's nationality, and that means Japan must be left out. Please stop being repeatedly disruptive. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 13:25, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then whats that then? http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b8999854e 81.156.136.199 (talk) 14:54, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also this company distributed it. Tohokushinsha Film 81.156.136.199 (talk) 14:58, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Distribution is irrelevant. Lots of films are distributed by foreign companies, that does not mean the film is of said country. This film was produced by two US film studios, that is the end of the matter. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 18:08, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To give another example, the Ghibli movies are distributed by Disney in the west. This does not make them American movies. Popcornduff (talk) 19:18, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. But these 4 films are distributed by British companies but they are not British The Hudsucker Proxy, The Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading and Hail, Caesar!. And also these 2 are distributed by American companies but that doesnt mean they are American The World's End (film) and Grimsby (film). So can you please help me with these 6 pages? 81.156.167.221 (talk) 12:43, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are wrong. You have been corrected repeatedly but persist in pushing your opinion. I suggest you stop. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 13:14, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Can we continue this on my talkpage? 81.156.167.221 (talk) 13:29, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No. A public discussion involving multiple editors should take place in a public place. Besides, changing the location of the discussion won't change the fact that you are wrong both in terms of your understanding of the facts and WP's policies. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 14:42, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. But if you listen to me a bit more then you will realize that the edits I would like to make are actually not as "harmful" as you think. 81.156.167.221 (talk) 18:44, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your edits go against the facts, policy, and logic – so, yes, I think they are very harmful. This is the last comment I will make to you on this subject. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 13:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Such an heated debate about the nationality of the film. Will we find the truth - or will it be Lost in the Trans...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.178 (talk) 20:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Best film of the 2000s" comment[edit]

Can we remove the final sentence of the lede? Not only does it add much information to call a film as "often regarded as one of the best films", but it can't really be verified in any sense. How do you define "regarded as one of the best"? Box office sales? Critics reviews? Awards? It just seems like a weasel word here. ChunyangD (talk) 23:16, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, killed. Popcornduff (talk) 03:16, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
yes, agree too Tsmaster544 (talk) 10:32, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
