If you become famous you can get away with breaking all the rules: I read Aaron Sorkin's first version of "The American President" was a behemoth of 385 pages. That is almost four movies. I whole-heartedly agree that less is more and that we should keep our scripts short. I am just pointing out that some very famous writers broke those guidelines, which did not necessarily make for a better movie.

Theme is important so long as the window/mirror of the character is clear and worth looking at!
