  1. The film itself was VERY POORLY written, from the perspective of the "art" of screenplay creation......an ABSOLUTE disaster in terms of portraying someone who was a sensitive, intelligent, funny, articulate, yet driven human being, who took his own poetry seriously enough that he would NEVER recite lines in public to people in a random context, not a consistently evil demon out to hurt everyone around him........However, the locations chosen for filming: perfect........Casting: perfect (except for the obviously fake beard they put on VK's face later in the movie.......60s atmosphere re-creation: almost perfect.
