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] Spoiler avoidance
This is a very tricky film to handle in terms of spoilage... so tricky in fact that the movie was completely unpromotable when it was new... however, an uninformed "blind" viewing of the movie has far greater impact than one which is padded in advance with knowledge of the film`s main plot. DeJarnatt went to some lengths to orchestrate a handy little fakeout which is quite thoroughly spoiled--EVEN BY MENTIONING THAT THERE`S A MAJOR PLOT TWIST. If you`re expecting nukes--or if you`re expecting ANYTHING, the fakeout is blown. I realize that this is a damn near impossible situation but would like to see SOME attempt at avoiding the whistle-blow on this movie.24.165.210.213 09:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Harry the Doomsayer
I have not found anything online, but perhaps there is something in print to back up the theory that the entire plot of this film is nothing more than a manifestation of Harry`s pessimistic attitude about love (ME get a girl? THAT`LL be the day!). It`s just a thought really, but is partially backed up by the fact that Harry is seen at the very start of the film practicing his trombone--in the dark--with Julie`s photo affixed to the end of it. Harry`s encounter with Julie and his subsequent going to sleep takes place entirely in daylight, and upon wakening Harry is immediately rushed and hurried. The scene with him practicing trombone cannot have taken place in the film`s plot! But I am not going to add this to the article without some backup.24.165.210.213 09:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
