Quotations

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted your edits to Rising Sun (film). The problem was that you added quotations, including one in the plot summary. We generally don't include quotations on Wikipedia. Plot summaries should stick to high-level overviews, not describing individual scenes or highlighting specific quotations. I know it's kind of tempting to describe your favorite scenes, dialogue, etc, but there are better places to do that, such as Wikiquote and the IMDb.

Perhaps the quotation could be removed, but I feel like the plot summary, or the entire article, does not contain the information about the qualities of this movie. The description may be encyclopedically justified, but what is the value if the user is left with the idea that this is a boring movie, while in fact there are many suble qualities in the movie. Regarding the quotations, if there is a rule in wikipedia against quotations, perhaps the solution is to simply mention that the movie contains memorable quotations.
