User:JoshuSasori/Branded to Kill
Neutrality
[edit]- Presents film in a biased way
- No reviews from Japan at all, all western "trendies", all "cult movie".
- Misrepresents Tarantino etc.
- Does not mention that most of cast (Mariko Ogawa, Annu Mari) are actually complete non-entities.
Comprehensiveness
[edit]- Says little about background, film-making in 1960s
- "those whacky Japanese" mentality of article.
Accuracy
[edit]- "Devil's job" taken from subtitles
- As one of Seijun Suzuki's most influential films, Branded to Kill has been acknowledged as a source of inspiration by such internationally renowned directors as Hong Kong's John Woo, South Korea's Chan-wook Park and America's Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino.[50] - sourcing is very vague, it just goes to a newspaper article which claims this.
Writing quality
[edit]The "Reception" section is badly-written hodge-podge of facts, not a coherent piece of prose.
Most of the article does not read very well.
