Well, this isn't filmed in real time. It isn't a documentary. And it wasn't made in 1814. So, we also don't have to follow him around as much as we do. It is simply an editing issue. It seems likely to me like they have 8 hours to fill, but only have a 4 hour story. So lots of shots of Tom Hardy walking. Or…

Ah, I see now. If I don't agree completely with you there must be a deficiency in my cognitive abilities, is that it? For you this is a normal way to respond to a disagreement over a matter of artistic taste? You're right, there is no possible way this show could be made more coherent and interesting. I bow to…

I did watch the show - he said he bought it to form his own trading company. Which is crap - we know it isn't true. I'm not sure he knew or didn't know it was a slave boat. Actually I'm not sure of anything, which is part of the problem. Did he buy it to spiritually free the souls of the trapped slaves?

So you are saying I should invest…4 to 5 hours of my time in the hope of a 2-3 hour payoff? Hmmm. I would prefer…utilizing some efficiency (and clarity) in storytelling.

You missed my point. I like secrets, I like surprises. But they are dragging things out that don't need to be drug out unless.

To add a quick example, the slave boat. Why did he buy it exactly? I dunno. Fine he bought it. Then he went on it, and did…something. Stripped his cloths, mumbled a lot, found some rocks and chains. Was there a ritual of some kind? He carved a chicken in the decking (did anyone else laugh?). Then he left the…

This is sort of terrible. I want to like it. I really do. I like lots of things about it. But so far it is Hardy, wandering around in the mud (count how many scenes are simply Hardy traveling from here…to there. Then back to …here). he mumbles to himself and the audience. There are too many antagonists to keep…
