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.

[edit] Section Changes
A suggestion: This entry really doesn't need to have the entire plot and characters described, as the film is based on a very well-known play and users should be able to go to the play description and see the plot description there. Instead, this entry ought to simply discuss noteworthy differences between the play's plot and the film (cut and rearranged scenes, etc). --A user
- Agreed ... another worthy addition would be information about how the casting and performances were received. For example, I believe I recall skepticism about the casting of Keanu Reeves, who was/is not taken very seriously as an actor. Also, the casting of Denzel Washington may be of note, particularly in the era of color-blind casting. Lawikitejana 17:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
My suggestion is this: we create subsections on Differences from the Original Play (i.e. placement of the Hey nonnys); the Musical aspects; and/or Casting Reception.Polymathematics 22:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
