Note on Deletion of Žižek’s Comments

edit

I believed it best to delete the paragraph with Žižek's comments as they weren't important in relation to the film on a global critical scale. This is not to dispute his significance in certain philosophical and cultural-criticism circles, but it didn't seem that his particular observations (versus others) should be included in a general article on the film, as he wasn't a noted film critic, and his scholarly observations held no more weight than others of similar reputation.

If the general article were to have a significant section on academic criticism and evaluation of the film, then Žižek's opinions would have their place alongside those of other scholars. However, it does not, so the inclusion of his alone appears biased, odd, and needlessly esoteric. 71.191.155.113 (talk) 07:39, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
