I wanted to ..

.. I wanted to punch that billionaire business bloke right in the head! I’m referring to the character played by Sir Mark Rylance. What a pathetic, whiny voiced loser he was, and he had the audacity to have a go at Leo’s character! I felt bad for Leo.

That horrible tinny voice, those stupid fake teeth and the overall ridiculousness of the character, I couldn’t stand him! I so wanted his mission to fail, and it did!

The film was fun though, I enjoyed it.

I wanted to punch him as well, who wouldn't? I believe that's exactly what they wanted to achieve with that character and they absolutely nailed it. I can't quite pinpoint as to who exactly he reminds me of, but no doubt he represents a pattern we've all probably noticed - a clear sociopath pretending/believing they are the Enlightened one, and a sea of idiots blindly following him with 0 scrutiny, sometimes with disastrous consequences.
