I certainly agree with the personal experiences playing roles in our enjoyment, and often they become predominant so as to completely dominate. I guess the problem with the story was that it tried to jam in too many aspects of salesman's life, creating in essence too thick a soup. So the conflicts became too many, outlined in too sketchy way, quick jumps from one to another. And the last, fatal episode is pretty much the tribute to the American school of script writing - "without somethins that jucey there can't be no movie".If you stay with the subject of Al Pacino, then the fatal episode would be comparable to his Scent hero driving blind. If in Glengarry it is still within the reason, failing on subtleties, then in the Scent it is Hollywood in its worse extreme, idiotic situation put on pedestal, in a feeble attempt to grab audience attention.
Needless to say, the original Scent didn't have that idiocy - as I said, this seems to be a completely American phenomenon.
Another pitiful example of that same fallacy was the match counting exercise in Rain Man - the pathetic nature of that one was incredible, and I was sorry to see a fine actor do that.
I remember watchng a part of Richard III, losing interest and switching channels, so I am not in great position of arguing its merits.
Spacey is a great actor, but overused, and should try to concentrate on seeking roles that would allow his subtle talent to show, instead of being just a pawn in things like the Negotiator.
