| 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 previous version of this page incorrectly asserted that the forklift accident was the cause of the two men losing their jobs. On the contrary, the accident was in fact more of a minor part of the plot, and the lack of obvious repercussions perhaps serves to underline the meaninglessness of their working life. The two men continued to work in the plant for the rest of the summer and were then laid off supposedly due to a slowdown in business. Now, a viewer could speculate that there was a connection between the accident and the two men's inclusion in a lay-off, but this is not made clear, and the fact that the characters do not seem to recognize the possibility of such a link serves to further underline the sense of meaninglessness and alienation depicted in the film.
