7.2 points. The background of this film is a great Oxford dictionary compilation project, but the compilation process is not the main line. The title and the plot don't match up a bit. The film should be about the "excusable circumstances" of sin in some special circumstances. The roles of the two male protagonists are also confusing, making people unable to grasp the main line, and they only react when they see it at the end. The actual main line is mainly "madman", so it should be called "The Madman and the Editor-in-Chief".
Madman, War Creation, Humanity, Love, Forgiveness, Irredemption, all rejoice. This is the main thread.
Organizing and editing, encountering bottlenecks, strong aid from heaven, becoming friends, unable to publish, and rescuing lunatics, everyone is happy. This is the branch + background.
am I right.
Perhaps the director wanted to show the difficulty of compiling the Oxford Dictionary, especially the perseverance of the editor-in-chief; he also wanted to add the madman's outstanding contribution to this dictionary and his embarrassing emotional drama. It makes the plot seem to be undifferentiated, and the viewing experience is not good. The plot is not worth 7 points, but because the emotional entanglement is well filmed, it is given 7.2, so is this what the director wants?
