"Themes and Analysis"

This section comments almost exclusively on the film's "historical accuracy" and says nothing about the film's themes, so I think the section title should be changed. Honestly I don't think it makes sense to have such an extensive section about a Seijun Suzuki film's historical accuracy at all since his work is so clearly about style over substance, but if it's going to be here it might as well be under a more honest section title.

I reviewed this section and believe it fails MOS:FILMHIST. It seems like the sources used may not be about the film. Basically, the editor who added it did their own original research and critiqued the film's historical accuracy. I'm removing it. Erik (talk | contrib) 01:57, 23 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
