i have no idea how accurate the portrayal of flynn appear in this film but even a a work of fiction it be one of the bad film i have ever see . the script be all over the place and leave you wonder how he get from one scene to the next you be just not give the minimum information need to keep some continuity and understand his present situation and and it be difficult to understand flynn and other character motif behind some of their behaviour . add to that a series of silly and implausible situation and you have film that come across a one of your dream that seem to make sense while you be asleep and but when you wake up and you try to remember it and it be just strange and disjointed and totally unrealistic . there be many long and boring musical section of the film that to me be either bad direction or a bad director try and fail to be artistic . none of the character be even likable and the flynn character come across a a self serve liar and thug and thief and robber and murderer and bear fist fighter and gigolo and impostor who will do anything and step on anyone to further his own dream and and somehow and despite all that and great opportunity just seem to miraculously fall into his lap . this film be not entertaining nor satisfying in any way and by all account not even historically accurate and so why even watch it . to rub salt into the wound and the dvd have one of the bad transfer i have ever see and it wasn not even in wide screen or dolby 5 . 1 and it have terrible telecine wobble and many and many artifact from what look like a film reel that have be gather dust and scratch somewhere .
