My edit listing who the main characters were based on

My edit listing who the main characters were based on was reverted as it was "WP:OR and POV interpretations of who cast represent". I'm not sure if Cirt saw the movie, but the characterizations are thinly veiled. It's not an interpretation when it is made to be super obvious. Zach Carson, for example, is based on Jack Parsons. The name is barely changed. The "Babalon Working" is now the "Caliban Working". Carson put in $20,000 instead of Parson who put in $21,000 into selling sailboats. Legend has Parsons evocating Bartzabel to summon a typhoon in retribution, in the movie Carson evoked Satan. How obvious does it have to be not to be considered POV?

Do you have a source to back up your personal interpretations into the film's plot? If not, this is your own WP:OR interpretations of the film - which does not belong in the plot section, or anywhere in the article for that matter, as it is unsourced. Cirt (talk) 05:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
