[edit] What?

This has to be one of the most confusing articles. The plot is not well-clarified and you cannot tell what is actually meant in some places. It really needs to be more coherent. 66.77.129.3 19:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restoring spoiler warning

There has been heated debate about use of the Spoiler tag in synopses, sometimes used without need. As per WP:SPOIL, use is justified when that knowledge of the spoiler would substantially diminish many readers' or viewers' enjoyment of the work." This policy (as retrieved 2007-06-06) also discourages use in Plot sections, but I believe the warning around "twist" plot developments is justified to minimize readers' enjoyment of the film. That is, seeing the film and knowing that Holland isn't alive' ruins the mystery and growing suspense of the first hour. If you object to the spoiler, discuss it here, and please do not remove it, initiating an edit war. Thanks. // David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 13:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
