1. Can we source interviews? I have surfed the net and there are several revealing interviews of the director, stars, etc. talking about the motivation, themes, promotion, casting, etc.
2. Some plot questions (I've seen the movie, but just not sure I grasped all the details and not planning to rewatch):
A. When Ellis gets the help stuff from Tom it looked like a roll of cash and something else (stickers?) what was that.
B. After the shooting scene, we see Mud lying in the boat at night. Was Tom in the little boat with him (I mean shown to be, versus implied?)
C. Also after wards we see some object floating past Gayland as he is diving. What was it and is it something symbolic? (looked like a body).
D. Actually the combination of B and C was confusing to me. I didn't know if Mud was dead or alive. Was that intentional or just me not paying attention? [Off topic: almost seems that the movie would be better if B and C were skipped as scenes and we just had Ellis wonder if Mud was alive...and then show the last scene with Tom and the boat going to the Gulf.

The plot needs to have a spoiler warning. Or the article rewritten to include a Summary Section that is Spoiler Free. Yes, I agree that Plots don't generally need a Spoiler Warning, but since this film is still new to many people, I think the Plot Section without a Spoiler warning does people an extreme disservice by describing the movie in such detail. If I had any of that plot section before seeing the movie yesterday, I would have had the distinct "pleasure" of having had the movie ruined for me. 70.116.1.237 ( talk) 14:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Plot sumaries on WIkipedia are supposed to be 400 to 700 words long. This one was considerably longer. I trimmed it down to 728 words, and I may be able to get it below that if I have another go. Thanks, Invertzoo ( talk) 02:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Update: word count of plot summary is now down to 662. Invertzoo ( talk) 02:18, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
