Excellent description of the low camera angels. It is like a live play, being filmed for an audience, filmed from the orchestra pit. - @Saturday, May 5, 2018 3:56 PM

It’s a real shame how many people find this to be an overrated, boring experience. It’s a tragic character piece displaying a man that wanted to help the world only to lose his identity and ideals from his success, and realizes this too late. Just because it is highly regarded and doesn’t have any avengers in it doesn’t make it a bad movie. - @Saturday, April 14, 2018 7:12 AM
