I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title:  Plot 

message: I've removed the large section containing the blockquote as it's really rather unnecessary to the article. The plot section already summarizes the content of the monologue very well, and having a large section of the dialogue in the article like this is a violation of WP:NOT#PLOT. Wikipedia shouldn't be covering the plot of the story in so much detail that someone else could write the script themselves. Also, in posting large bits of the dialogue like that, we risk some legal issues since the movie is copyrighted.
To go back to the NOT#PLOT point, much of the "Story details" section needs to be cut down and merged with the rest of the plot section. This section is far too long and is not written in an encyclopedic tone. I'll work on it some myself now as I already did for the plot section, but I'll need some help as I haven't seen the film personally.
We also could use some more information on the production of this film, the "backstage" kind of info. Like I said earlier, we shouldn't be covering just the plot, but other information about the film as well. The line in the plot section mentioning that the monologue was ad libbed could be moved to a "production" section, for example. Along those lines, this article needs some references to back up the information as well. Hersfold (t/a/c) 19:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The plot has been shortened and cleaned up to what appear to be the most major points; it still needs to be shortened further by someone more familiar with the film. Hersfold (t/a/c) 20:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
