Dear MikeAllen: I honestly didn't know it was a bad thing to discuss chapter markings/"title cards", which are plainly on the screen, and not debatable, unlike, say, characters' inner motivation. Can you please point out chapter and verse which prevents discussion of title cards? Too, why didn't you eliminate my title-card notes long ago, instead of leaving it up a long time? (And other editors have largely tolerated it, too, e.g., someone got rid of "Crucifixion", but basically left the rest) Thanks, as always. John315 (talk) 21:37, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about how long it's been there. I don't read this article daily. I just noticed it, and I removed it because it's not needed for readers to understand the basic plot points. MOS:FILMPLOT: "The plot summary is an overview of the main events, so avoid minutiae like dialogue, scene-by-scene breakdowns, individual jokes, and technical detail". Can you explain why you think it's needed for the understanding of the plot? Wikipedia is not a substitute for the original. MikeAllen21:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It helps by giving the basic organization of the film, into three "Books". The filmmaker did it for a reason. (It's the "biblical", or call it "pseudo-biblical"?, style of the film.) And this is in your second linked article: "Plot summaries should be written from the real world perspective by referring to specific works or parts of works ("In the first book", "In Act II") or describing things from the author or creator's perspective ("The author introduces", "The story describes")." So, maybe it's o.k. for me to mention the three "Books" of the movie? John315 (talk) 05:54, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This may be a bit obvious, but this film lacks a TriStar logo with a byline, nor is there any mention of Sony anywhere. I was surprised that Sony Pictures Releasing, who has Distributed Sony Pictures movies since 1993-ish, isn’t even involved. Is this a one-off with Tristar? What’s going on?
