Zac's role is redundant

I just finished watching it today, purely for supporting Zac Efron. I don’t have much to say about the acting, but I don’t know whether the protagonist of this film should be Richard or Orson... Just take a good picture of your biography and change your perspective. It’s okay, but the protagonist should be Orson after all... How did the lens focus on Zac’s character in the end? It makes people think that this is talking about Richard’s life. But if it’s really talking about Richard’s life, the film ends. It should have just started! The role of Zac is really a lot. It feels very distracting.

Orson Welles: You really are a god created actor Richard. Those weren't just words you see. I recognize 'The Look'.
Richard Samuels: The Look?
Orson Welles: The bone deep understanding that your life is so utterly without meaning that simply to survive you have to reinvent yourself. Because if people can't find you, they can't dislike you. You see if I can be Brutus for 90 minutes tonight; I mean really be him, from the inside out; then for 90 minutes I get this miraculous reprieve from being myself. That's what you see in every great actor's eyes.

Richard Samuels: All I do know is that whatever it is, acting, writing, music, plays, I just want to be a part of it all.
