[edit] Requested move

"The" is part of the official English title, and should therefore be part of the title of the article. Currently "The Wings of Honneamise" redirects to this page.

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments

[edit] Removed sex scene

This movie has a sex scene, which, besides being unwelcome, also makes no sense. (To me, at least.)

Your point...?

From what I recall, it wasn't simply a sex scene but a rape scene, removed for the UK release but included AFAIK in other European releases Alastairward 23:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

It was an attempted rape scene, and Yamaga described at length on the film's commentary the purpose of the scene's inclusion.Xenofan 29A 03:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Year of Release?

when was this movie made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.74.220.218 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Budget is wrong...

... In the article it says the budget for this movie was 8 billion yen (8.000 million I suppose) but in fact, it was 800 million yen.

Quote from official gainax web site:

This was GAINAX's first production. Planned as the first project from Bandai's video production department, with a production budget of 8 hundred million Yen (approx. US$4-5 million at time of production), and music by Sakamoto Ryuichi, it was a one-of-a-kind epic.

Oh well, I've just updated it anyway :P

I updated your update. :p --nihon 23:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deconstruction

Not only does this section not have a single reference, it reads very much as if it is the personal opinion of the poster. I am not in anyway saying that he is wrong, just that this is not the place for it. If there are references that can be cited please do so. In the meantime I have placed the tags for both "non-compliant" and "essay entry". I considered adding Original research or Lack of References as well but as they fall under non-compliant I felt it was redundant.Colincbn 10:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cover Artwork

The current image, of Manga's VHS release, should be replaced with the HD-DVD release cover art, which is much more faithful to the look and feel of the film, in my opinion.Xenofan 29A 04:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

To that end, I have replaced the old image with the new one. Xenofan 29A 04:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Much to add.

A lot of info is missing from the article. The hero became an astronaut after he failed to get high enough marks in basic flight school to go to fighter pilot training. You see the space programme is not serious, they only get second-class personnel. Their work is meant to offend the opposing superpower, they have no other purpose. The space agency succeeds AGAINST the will of their own government.

The girl protagonist is actually a prostitute. This is obvious in the scene where her shoe's heel breaks and and a lot of money falls off. (This footage may have been deleted from puritain anglo-saxon releases.)

The launch of the space rocket is clearly modelled after the soviet R-7 missile (Sputnik's and Gagarin's booster). 81.0.68.145 18:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

If you really believe it should be in the article, then add it in yourself with appropriate sources. And, please, do not make another stab at "Anglo-saxons" (British) people again, you have been warned about that before. "(This footage may have been deleted from puritain anglo-saxon releases.)" - Seriously, stop being derogatory towards British people. Scarian^Talk 08:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

The scene where the girl's shoe breaks and money falls out is included in the UK release (which would be presumably different from the "anglo-saxon" US and European releases... If there is a line in any director's commentary, please quote it, otherwise leave it uncited.

As for the "clearly modelled after" comment, leave that out please. There's enough rubbish of that type on Wikipedia. Personal opinion is uncalled for, if you can cite something, include it Alastairward 13:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with some of your assessment. True, the fact that the space program gets second-class personnel is important, but it's not obvious Ruiquinni is prostituting herself. When she is first seen, she might be in a red-light district, but her behavious is most definitely not that of a prostitute. The money from her shoe later could just as easily be from begging, for instance. IIRC, the film never explains it. StaticSan (talk) 03:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any explanation of where her money comes from other than the job in the field she has chopping vegetation Alastairward 16:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
