What worked:
- it's an story of a true amazing figure that I was totally unaware of before watching the movie. The naturalistic setting and the storytelling, since it's a new topic for me, was interesting to know.
- screenplay and overall execution; the movie failed to really get me believe in his ambition, his ideas, and the movie overall did not work. There were many loopholes and plot holes, and many unanswered questions even when the movie ended. Also I would have wanted a strong ending that what we have here.
- too many recitals; I agree the figure here is also a poet, but many scenes which could have been used to narrate the movie was used for poetry, and after a point it felt excessive.
