i have never want to walk out on a film more than this one . a few other people in the theater have the same idea except they actually act on it . this movie be a mess . it can never pick a theme and stick to it . i think we be suppose to see john wilmot a some kind of free thinking liberate person . apparently the theme of the play it be base on be that wilmot could have be remember a one of the great writer of his age if he weren not so debauched . the film miss this point completely . all i saw be a drunk stumble around from one aimless and pretentious scene to another . though the acting be good and no one could save this terrible film . if you want to see a film that have a similar theme and actually make a point and see quill with geoffrey rush .
