Rod Taylor, I have the utmost respect for anyone who has studied any subject extensively for the better part of their life. How can you compare that to anything that is NOT that. I agree with you about this film... 100%. The only thing I wanted to add, that might make you a wee bit happy is that I, as someone who is drawn to know as much more about this man as possible, did learn one thing of consequence from this particular movie...my further learning will be at your suggestion of reading books....the one thing that I did feel cake across quite clearly was that his thoughts and visions were so beyond this world (at that time and to a certain extent even at this time)....and nobody could give it credence. Very few people could see what he was seeing nor place any value in it just as it was. The only time they could place value was if they saw something immediately commercially viable....that is a shame...
Thank you for your review, and thanks for listening to what 8 had to say.
