The portrayal of Norton's character as an intelligent guy seems awry in the wake of the manner of his realization - it took a guy talking about sex rather than any other intellectual (Sweeney perhaps?). <BR/><BR/>I agree with your other points too. It could have been so much more if the screenplay was paced better and concentrated on character development rather than pushing out events at a breakneck speed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087543283923845830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13036241.post-91921065403933043442007-04-25T04:48:00.000-04:002007-04-25T04:48:00.000-04:00Powerful, yes - but even I felt that the movie was...Powerful, yes - but even I felt that the movie was very incomplete. The prison realization came too fast. Norton's character, intelligent and articulate that he is, must have not generalized what he saw/felt in prison. Those might just be some jerks who did not really believe in the theory. That's just one aspect which was left incomplete. Same with his family, the brother, the father-figure-leader-dude, and almost everybody is left mid-way.<BR/><BR/>Powerful, but incomplete. I still loved it though.Tejaswihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566170957042360561noreply@blogger.com
