stemmed from the fact that publicly he humiliated his superiors. I found the similarity to Joe Wilson quite powerful.
I didn't say 'twas the finest film in ten years but placed it above most Oscar winners of that period.
I also found the denouement and his finding the caravan a bit... over the top.
Still, for its handling of such a critical subject in such an entertaining and thoughtful way, with such clearly drawn and powerful characters, I rate it very highly: art can be topical and meaningful and not just ethereal, right?
I haven't seen Capote or the Whale movie yet but I was disappointed a bit in Broken Flowers. A good film but way below the bar set by the other aging guy flick, Lost in Translation.
