Gift unwrapping in general tends to be boring in film. Too much time spent with nothing happening, plus it's annoying to have that many copies of the package for shooting an unknown number of takes. That's why you'll see in most TV shows that they use gift bags instead - they can just pull things out immediately.
More on the bad side: there were some very big things that didn't make sense.
- They have wires coated in rubber when rubber had not even been invented yet.
- They want to blow up a city even though it's full of their loyalist friends?
- During his Zorro period, how did our hero manage to know where they were striking every time?
- Similiarly, how did the bad guys manage to know who he was, where he kept his papers and manage to switch them out.
- How did they all have hair that looked like it had the benefit of modern shampoo?
And so on.
Nothing like it, but Johnny Tremain was a good movie that still mostly holds up.
At first it was like he was Zorro and then they had to have a James Bond ending. Pick one!
This is the most astute assessment.
It mirrors whatever entries are in IMDb so, it kind of is...
There had been so much foreshadowing in the sense of of talk about a Yury. They were pretty much forced to live up to that in this way.
Young Sheldon, Curb, George & Mandy...
She figured she was safe so long as she didn't give out the name.
Those were things he probably learned only <b>after</b> the project had become too big to fail.
He probably needs that kind of office to impress would-be investors.
I put it on fast forward.
Yeah, and it hasn't even started yet.
Maybe all the above plus guilt at not reporting the murder.
It's also funny that whenever any character drinks wine, it's always the same brand. Production must have bought a case and kept re-using it.
If they removed all the time where people are just sitting there doing nothing it would probably shrink from 5 episodes to 4.
When we watch one of these shows there's an implicit contract that by the end justice will be done and the disturbance to the balance of normal life will be restored. That wasn't done here.
See the Feud series about Joan and Bette Davis.
Yes, apparently it was planned. Not sure why it didn't happen. The story seems quite operatic.
The profanity probably worked against it in those days.
