iriterations

Personally I found this scene quiet important in the significance of the plot but the author has not mentioned it. The article is also tagged as too long, so i am reluctant to add this to the plot unless someone wants to have an edit and put it in. 80.192.203.180 (talk) 07:25, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Succinctness

Can people not stop adding unnecessary, intricate detailing to the plot?? The summary is there to give an overview of the events of the film; it is not there to explain every scene shot-by-shot, nor is it intended to tell the reader the meaning or messaging behind ambiguous details and open-ended scenes. The metal in the walls of his house is not a key detail; all that matters is the phones lack signal. The monopoly board and Radiohead song are not pertinant; all that matters is the lecture. The purpose is not to give someone a play by play of everything that happens, the purpose is a SUMMATION, ergo a PLOT SUMMARY. 80.40.215.95 (talk) 17:48, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FIMPLOT is supposed to be concise, the guidelines recommend 400-700 words (and 700 words is a limit not a target). When people expand the plot section you can mention that guideline in your edit summary and revert their changes. If they really believe it is necessary to expand a plot point they will have to find a way to shorten some other part of the plot section. -- 109.78.194.250 (talk) 19:06, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
