i want so much to enjoy this movie . it move very slowly and be just boring . if it have be on tv and it would have last 15 to 20 minute and maybe . what happen to the story . a great cast and photographer be work on a faulty foundation . if this be loosely base on the life of the director and why do not he get someone to see that the write itself be loose . then he direct it at a snail pace which may have be the source of a few people nod off during the movie . the music soar and but for a different film and not this one . for soap opera saga possibly . there be time when the dialogue be not understandable when armin meuller stahl be speak . i be not alone and because i hear a few rumbling about who say what to whom . why can not hollywood make good movie . this one have the nugget of a great story and but be just poorly execute .
