Is there an official or de facto standard for how to write a movie summarization for an encyclopedia, magazine, newspaper or other kind of media? For instance, are there widespread templates, recommendations or rules of thumb? Is there a difference to summarizations of books or stage plays? Which elements have to be included, which can stay unmentioned? Does the text have to have an internal division in which sequence to tell what? To what degree are additional trivia like infos about the playwright, actors, pop cultural meaning, influences, technical aspects or a personal statement worth mentioning?
