The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that a Taiwanese film about parental favoritism was titled A Sun in English to create a pun with "a son"?


Removing "xiao" from names

[edit]

I'd like to remove "xiao" from names. I know that's how it's romanized in the subtitles, but it's the wrong way. "Xiao" is 小, it's just a diminutive, and without that context (1) people get characters mixed up and (2) it seems to suggest a relationship between unrelated people. I'm going to do this, but happy to discuss. DrIdiot (talk) 03:06, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue the same goes for "A-" -- also just a diminutive. DrIdiot (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We should keep the "official" romanizations in the cast list since this is how many publications will transliterate (incorrectly, IMO, but most of them don't speak Mandarin or Taiwanese), with a paranthetical for how they'll be referred to in the plot synopsis.

The caption for the image in this section reads:

"For Netflix, A Sun is typed in serif; another version has a sans-serif typeface."

I strongly suggest that either this caption is rewritten or the image and caption are both replaced. Details about the title's typeface are irrelevant, it doesn't add anything meaningful to the rest of the section which discusses the meaning of the title.
