Still, there are enough oddities in the details to keep you full of questions. In a way, there's not a step you haven't seen in classics going as far back as Citizen Kane.

It really downplays the chance to directly compare today to what happened at the turn of the century. I don't think there are scenes in the film that go anywhere with that connection. Arguably, the economic and religious conflict is minor. The movie seems more of a personal battle for power. The larger themes are superficial and a lot of reviewers are reading too much of their own beliefs into the text. I noticed "H.W" too, but its similar with other scenes of how careless he is to human beings including his "son". He never calls him by a real name, just initials. Good review though. I forgot about the long takes. Great movie, but I disagree with the modern day comparison. It really downplays the chance to directly compare today to what happened at the turn of the century.
