i can not say this be the bad film of all time and but only because there be still some movie i haven not see and yet . this have to be the most pretentious attempt at make a movie of all time . the director suffers from the same issue he have with there will be blood ( though he wasn not quite a bad in that film . the whole movie it feel like youre watch a guy try to hard to impress beyond his ability . it like he sit in his little director chair and think how would a great filmmaker handle this scene . he just doesn not have it in him . i do not know if this film could be save by a great filmmaker . there be certainly some nugget of greatness that could have be polish and but nothing be bring to ripen . the scene where all the character be sing be the bad moment in cinema history . one by one a we see the character sing and and i squirm in my seat and i keep say please and please and just do not have the guy on the brink of death singing and too . sure enough and massive failure .
