Talk:Kite (1998 film)

message: According to http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biografbyr%C3%A5n
Sweden haven't banned or censured a movie since 1996.
And since this movie was released in 1998 it can not have been banned in Sweden.
Removing Sweden from banned list.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.250.93.186 (talk) 12:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Kite (film) is an inaccurate title as Kite is not a live action film but an anime OVA that is further more a Hentai anime. I suggest either Kite (OVA) or Kite (Hentai). We'd have to leave Kite (film) as a redirect as a number of article point to it or we need to change those articles to point to whatever name it's changed to. If nobody objections I'll be making these changes in about a week Elmer92413 21:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  OVA maybe, but marking it as "hentai" is not a good idea- hentai movies are about sex or fetishes; Kite is about neither.  Kite is more an action-exploitation anime, focussing mainly on violence.  Most versions don't even show Sawa in the nude; the bulk of the movie revolves around her career as an assassin.  brain 23:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: it clearly isn't what is suitable for "normal" viewing. but ya, OVA is better than film or hentai, it should carry a big "your head may hurt after watching this" sign too! :x Akinkhoo 15:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Kite cover.jpg

message: The plot summary says: "This film opens when Sawa found a new home, but the man was yelling at the old lady and Sawa kills him. The detectives investigating the crime, Akai あかい ("red") and Kanie, take her in as guardians."
That's wrong. Actually, she was "adopted" as a younger girl by Akai (and Kanie) right after the murder of her parents, which is revealed in a flashback-scene in the first part of the movie. 
The man who is killed by her in the opening scene (in the elevator, after yelling at & assaulting the old lady) was already one of her designated targets. He was some sort of celebrity/comedian who had to be killed by command of Akai. This becomes apparent after the incident, when Sawa is at Akai's place and they watch the news reporting the celebrity's death together. 
It's true that Akai is investigating the crime scene before that, but Sawa has already fled at that point. In fact, he happens to be investing the scenes of the murders he ordered, regulary. 
On occasion, he also removes means of evidence from the scene, which might lead to Sawa or him (for example the gun from the "restroom-assassination").
