Problems
[edit]- I see a rather long discussion regarding the "epic film" on the talk page with no particular outcome. Was this issue resolved or not?
- It was well-resolved but the focus shifted to the article epic film which had a lot more problems with it then the reference to it here. The problem lies in the fact that "epic" is one of the most fluidly (perhaps even gaseously or nebulously) defined film genres out there, sometimes used with reference to content and other times with reference only to style. It was finally agreed upon to drop stating for a fact in the first sentence that it's an epic film and to compromise with stating much later "The film is frequently described as an "epic film", both for its length and scope, and for its affinity with classical epics." This statement is appropriately cited. There was one editor who for a while wanted to drop ALL reference to "epic" (although it is so described in the film's marketing and in some reviews), but I think the current version should satisfy most.--WickerGuy (talk) 23:22, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
