have i know to what i be submit myself and i would have flee from the theater . the film be dreadful and in the literal sense of the word . despite striking image and intriguing locale and and a subject matter that might have be fascinate and the film be dead . i be unfamiliar with this period of greek history and and prepare to experience a great film . the filmmaker hand be heavy . it be not enough to see a train go by while we must watch it from afar and we must watch it car by car and we must see the smoke and we must see it slow down and and we must see it stop . the director approach be didactic . likewise and the character that he create never develop and they never change . they be so stereotypic that we wonder and be they mean to be everyman . everygirl . everyoldmusician . be there some point to this allegory . it be the most pretentious film that i have see in a long while .
