Good Article
Nomination

I am thrilled to award this article

WP:GA?
. However, I have some advice for improvement:

  • The
    WP:GNOMEing
    , such as bolding the title of the track, and perhaps italicising the name of the singer/performer.

Otherwise, congratulations to the lead editors and keep up the good work!

Kind regards,

Thanks! The track listing was also commented on in the
WP:ALBUM, but perhaps they don't work too well when mixed with other article formats. I'll try some things to make it look better. — WiseKwai 19:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

Alternative ending

Anyone know what's the alternative ending? Thanks

Miramax changed it so nobody dies. — WiseKwai 14:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I like the miramax ending, the original is too sad. Did miramax film a whole new ending or did they just cut the last scene?

You talk like you've actually seen the Miramax version, which I thought was impossible because it was never released. Have you seen Tears of the Black Tiger? I'm assuming that Miramax simply edited the film, probably ending it before the main characters die. The move to change the ending was widely criticized as insensitive to the director's original vision, as were Miramax's changes to other Asian films. Still, there are folks, like yourself, who might prefer a happy ending, or, just out of perverse curiosity want to see what Miramax did. — WiseKwai 04:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No I haven't seen the miramax version, but I like a happy ending.

Release in the US

The release dates in the US in the first paragraph are listed as January 2007 to April 2007, then later on it is shown as Jan 07 to March 07, any idea how long it was released for?69.113.127.175 16:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the ref#38 is broken, I don't know where it pointed to originally, can someone fix it?69.113.127.175 16:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up on the conflicting dates. It was still playing in April. I'll try to access Archive.org and restore a link to the Kaiju Shakedown reference. — WiseKwai 17:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Reassessment

This discussion is
transcluded from Talk:Tears of the Black Tiger/GA1
. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

As part of

WP:WIAGA
.) I have determined that this one, while good, needs some additional work to remain a good article, outlined below:

  • The lead is pretty close to complete, but does not really discuss much about the film's production (thus not adequately summarizing the article). (
    WP:LEAD
    )
  • A huge issue is that there are many, many quasi-paragraphs that aren't true paragraphs (by definition, needs to have at least three sentences). All these groupings need to be folded together, cut entirely, or expanded.
  • The plot needs to be cut down; right now it rambles and is overly detailed.
  • Unsourced statements:
    • "The production designs reflects traditional aspects of Thai culture. For example, the first gun battle between Mahesuan and Dum is set on what is obviously a sound stage with a painted backdrop, a setting that is similar to likay, a Thai form of folk opera."
    • "There are experienced actors in the cast as well, including Sombat Metanee and Naiyana Sheewanun, who worked in the era of Thai filmmaking that Wisit was trying to recreate."
    • "There is also "Mercy," composed by 1940s Thai bandleader and jazz violinist Eua Sunthornsanan, which features whimsical fiddle playing and whistling. However, the lyrics to the song, written by Leud Prasomsap, offer a contrast to the mood evoked by the jaunty tune:"

I am putting the article on hold for one week pending improvements. Please appraise me of progress on this space. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 23:24, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As no progress has gone into addressing the above, I am boldy delisting now. The article can be renominated at any time through
WP:GAN. If you have questions, direct them to my talk page. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 14:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply
