  - One of my favorite things to do with people who'd gush over how much they "LOVED IT!!!" was (is) to ask them to tell me the movie's plot. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 18:02 29
    - Sounds fun. -- nm - GWAA Jul 18, 18:50
    - my attempt - tRuMaN Jul 18, 18:24 4
      - Which is essentially it, but so few people I've asked can describe it. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 18:30 3
        
        well perhaps you have been asking the wrong people. - tRuMaN Jul 18, 18:31 2
        
        yeah I don't see why this should be any more difficult than any other movie people like -- nm - GWAA Jul 18, 18:51
        
        Yeah, I think the lesson is "People are stupid." -- nm - mara Jul 18, 18:38
    - a man attempts to prove a point to an adversary. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 18:12
    - spoil - Spawn Jul 18, 18:10 18
      - That's not a plot, that's a series of events. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 18:14 17
        
        I'm not a fan of the dictionary argument, but read the first sentence of tihs article. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 18, 18:44 2
        
        Thanks for the link, that's one of the best (and shortest) definitions of plot I've seen. - Trish Jul 18, 18:57
        
        DEFINE YOUR TERMS! -- nm - internet arguer Jul 18, 18:48
        
        Spoils - Trish Jul 18, 18:34 4
        
        I would more call that the theme, but it's certainly accurate. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 18:37 1
        
        The theme was basically the plot (and this is just *my* opinion)--Neutral good vs. chaotic evil. - Trish Jul 18, 18:43
        
        "Some men just like to watch the world burn" = Plot: Joker sets the world ablaze to prove a point. -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 18:36 1

        describe the plot of Saving Private Ryan. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 18:16 5
        
        The plot of that movie is so simple and easy to understand it's essentially summarized in the title so I don't get your point. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 18:29 3
        
        wait, your point is that TDK has a complicated plot? -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 18:33 2
        
        No, I didn't make that point anywhere. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 19:01
        
        Not complicated, but it is a bit more complex than your standard blockbuster. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:39
        
        a collection of every WWII soldier cliche makes its way across enemy lines to rescue the last surviving member of three brothers -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 18, 18:18
        
        we must have watched different movies -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 18:15 2
        
        I often think that with movies like this. ;) - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 18:17 1
        
        I can agree about the Ledger, I was in awe -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 18:20
    - You are dumb. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 18, 18:08

      - that's the whole point -- nm - The Joker Jul 18, 18:06
- I really don't get the love this generated. I thought it was horribly dull. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 18, 17:37 1
  - Whenever the Joker wasn't onscreen, it definitely drug for me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 18:01
