If you watch without sound it's really a work of art

A more beautifully shot movie I have never seen. The incredible attention to the most minute detail is really amazing. For example, in a scene where Fawcett is being visited by his wife and children while he's in the hospital, the shot is from the opposite side of the bed from where his family is standing. In the scene I couldn't help but notice the white painted iron headboard, grimy from hands clasping it for the purpose of moving the bed around for many years. This small detail just really struck me as indicative of the why the film maker went about locking every scene down perfectly.
As for the story, its' a fascinating tale and one I'd like to know more about. Sadly, the script was not up the job of informing me. The acting was good, but the pace of the dialogue was slow and at times very deliberate, to a fault. In the end I'm glad I saw it even if I did find myself checking my watch about 30 minutes from the end, wondering how much longer the picture would last.
