Unique Plots (part 2)

Clever wordplay, impressive vocabulary, frequent use of thought-provoking metaphors and similes, and an assortment of other writing techniques all make up an author's style. We see this in cinematic storytelling as well, because a director's style can turn a simple story into a masterpiece, just like a talented conductor can interpret a piece of music and bring out amazing results from an orchestra. Style does contribute a great deal to the overall reception of a work, so is a unique plot really that important?
