Marife claims that a particular movie was bad. Why? Because it didn’t give viewers all the necessary clues to solve the murder, and therefore broke a rule of murder mysteries. Presumably, if a murder mystery film breaks this rule, that makes it a bad movie.

Nguyen’s claims support the unstated conclusion that breaking this rule is not grounds to call this movie bad. Why not? Because the filmmaker was actually focusing on the relationship between the detective and her assistant. Plus, the murder was just context for this relationship. Presumably, that means the film isn’t really a murder mystery movie.

We want to find a disagreement between the speakers. They disagree about whether a film is truly a murder mystery.

Marife agrees that this is the case, but Nguyen never disagrees. Nguyen’s issue is with the rule Marife uses to conclude that the movie was bad, not necessarily with the conclusion itself.

Nguyen agrees that this is true, but Marife never offers an opinion. Marife doesn’t discuss the relationship between the chief detective and her assistant at all.

Marife agrees but Nguyen disagrees, so this is their disagreement. Marife applies a rule about murder mysteries to this movie, indicating that it is indeed a murder mystery. Nguyen says there are more important aspects of the film, making it not a murder mystery.

Neither speaker really discusses this. Marife proposes a rule that applies to all murder mysteries, which may indicate that broad criteria like this are appropriate, but it’s never directly stated. Nguyen doesn’t talk about universal mystery requirements at all.

Both speakers likely agree that the filmmaker did not want this. Marife’s complaint is that the filmmaker made it impossible for viewers to solve the murder, while Nguyen points out that the filmmaker actually just wanted to focus on a relationship in the film.
