| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded. |

Please add more information about the cast and the crew, discussing the "behind the scenes" aspects of the production process, and giving insights into the casting and staffing where possible. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for more advice. |
[edit] Spoiler tag
We don't use spoiler tags on plot sections. The section title is enough to alert the reader that plot details will be present int hat section - there is no other material that could be present. So the spoiler tag is redundant. Moreover, the Wikipedia:Content disclaimer already has a generic spoiler warning. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] My edits
I tried to streamline the overly detailed and ultimately confusing plot summary, which contained a considerable amount of analysis and therefore POV. (It wasn't an easy task, given how convoluted Hare's plot is.) I added data missing from the infobox, and added awards and critical reception.
I removed the "Narrative construction and style" section because it read like a film student's term paper. Comparisons to other films and discussions of "stylistic flourishes," "plangent musical score," "the necessary limitations of individual perception and understanding," "gnomic bits of dialogue and pregnant pauses," and the like definitely have their place in a critical essay but not an encyclopedia article.
