Plot summary[edit]

I've removed three quite well-written paragraphs from the plot summary. They're well written commentary or film criticism. As such they're not really suitable for Wikipedia because they represent an unsourced interpretation rather than summary of the plot. This isn't a reflection on the quality of the writing or the validity of the observations. --Tony Sidaway 16:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What this intervention has achieved is to mean the plot summary only deals with the first part of the film, and fails to mention the resolution. I am sure that Tony Sidaway means well, but this hardly represents an improvement.
