> [@terentii](#): > > A lot of these can be summed up with a single scene, since they usually stick in the mind so well. I tend to disagree. A single scene might be memorable but I think it’s very rare for a single scene to sum up the entire movie. And if it does, what’s the point of the rest of the movie? The reason I bring the issue up in this thread is because I feel it’s easy to game the topic by describing one scene of a movie rather than the whole movie. ---
