Fair use rationale for Image:President's Last Bang Poster.jpg[edit]

Image:President's Last Bang Poster.jpg is being used on this article.

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Footnote #2 makes no sense?[edit]

The footnote #2 states "2. The memory of Japanese Occupation fresh in the minds of many Koreans, this implies affection for if not association with Korea's former colonizers."

I can't quite tell whether this footnote is referring to a specific part of the film (which I admit I haven't seen), but this doesn't seem to make any sense to me. "Memory of X fresh in someone's mind" => "Nostalgia/affection for X" is a complete non sequitur—unless this statement can be justified by a particular scene where it is evident that this is the producer's intention, this is as reasonable as saying "memory of rapist fresh in the mind of a rape victim, this implies affection for if not association with the rapist". Memory does not equal affection.

For the moment, I added a request for citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Novakyu (talkcontribs) 09:56, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just watched it last night. Whilst being entertained, the president spoke some japanese, and listened to japanese songs. So he had an evident interest in japanese culture. This was surprising, since Korea was occupied by the Japanese, the memory of which was fresh in the minds of most Koreans. So the footnote probably meant: "The president's apparent affection for japanese culture was surprising, since Korea was previously occupied by the Japanese, the memory of which was fresh in the minds of most Koreans."

It should be mentioned, that: Park adopted the Japanese name Masao Takagi (高木正雄). He graduated from the Japanese Manchurian Military Academy in Manchukuo at the top of his class in 1942. He then was selected for another two years of training at the Imperial Military Academy in Tokyo as a Warrant Officer of the Imperial Japanese Army. After he graduated in 1944, Park became an officer of the Kantogun, a unit of the Imperial Japanese Army, and was promoted to lieutenant of the Japanese Manchukuo Imperial Army before the end of the Pacific War in 1945. Meaning he not just spoke "some Japanese", he shold have been fluent. And he wasn't just a "Nippophile", he was a full on collaborator. And he basically reproduced the Meiji Restauration in his own country, icluding the Zaibatsu (Chaebols) and rampant militarism. --153.214.132.165 (talk) 13:16, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
