Poster and country of origin

Apologies for the previous edits, I'll bring my case here.

Regarding the film's poster, I feel it should be the original Finnish one as the poster should reflect the film's country of origin per WP:FILMPOSTER. The film may have been co-financed and internationally distributed by a German company, but it's directed by a Finn, has an all Finnsih cast and crew, is spoken in Finnish and was shot in Finland. While it can be called a Finnish-German co-production, the film is undoubtedly more Finnish than German. It's even been chosen as Finland's entry for the Academy Awards. Furthermore, as an example, Operation: Mincemeat was produced by companies from the UK, Australia and the US, yet it is regarded solely as a British film. And regardless of this issue, the Finnish poster is the original one. Because of all this, I really don't see any valid reason why the German poster should be used instead of the Finnish one.

You are using the term "country of origin" from WP:FILMPOSTER to imply it makes a distinction to opt for whichever country seems like it has a larger claim to "origin" (conceivably not always unambiguous), and thus to opt for the poster from its theatrical release in that country, and not simply the original theatrical release. But it is objectively a Finnish film AND a German film. And unfortunately, the template documentation is reticent on the topic.

Anyhow, I do not even disagree with you here. I have raised the same issue with the poster for About Dry Grasses, where the English-language poster was previously being promoted simply because "this is English Wikipedia", which is not a valid rationale. I am experiencing a similar issue with another article too. But I believe in general that consensus should be made, because oftentimes an earlier release in one of its producing countries feels more like a technicality than a proper representation of its "original theatrical release". And it seems more of interest to readers to represent that. Thus, if you would like to again replace the German poster with the Finnish poster, I will not object.

Okay, I'll switch out the poster. Thank you.--SilverBullitt (talk) 13:20, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ansa is not 'trapped' in Finnish

In the article, it says, "Ansa (which means 'trapped' in Finnish)," with a source quoting actress Alma Pöysti. I'm not sure if the quotation is accurate, but anyway, 'ansa' is 'a trap' in Finnish, not 'trapped'. 'Trapped' would be 'ansassa', i.e. 'in a trap'. As the source claims otherwise, I hesitate to edit the article, but as a native Finnish speaker, I'm positive about the translation error. timohei 13:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Huotari’s surgery

In the plot section the final paragraph notes, “Huotari, on the other hard, starts a relationship with Liisa while getting surgery to look younger.” In the scene she says that he has had surgery and “is taking ginseng root”. This is clearly a joke and not meant to be taken literally. Can this be amended? 3llieb0p (talk) 19:55, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@3llieb0p: Be bold. Make the correction as you see fitting. Οἶδα (talk) 06:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
