Review of The Bit Player

First of all, you must understand that this is not a movie, it is a documentary; so well done that you could call it a movie. The "interview" is performed by actors, but so convincing, so very well done, that it appears to be the real Shannon, in the real interview. The interview's dialogues were based on real interviews though: done in a way so perfect, respectful, so convincing, recalling Shannon with grateful love (as it should be).

All information presented here is true and extremely well explained. I read other comments here, that say that it lacks "real information". No. You must understand it well. The interview is performed by excellent actors but it also contains real pictures and scenes of the real Shannon. And the most important: The explanation of his Theory is done in a magnificent way. It is of course an "overall" explanation, but that goes to the heart of the problem and the solution. Explained in plain understandable English, for everyone. Want a more profound look at his theories? Read de Shannon original papers. They are publicly available.

Congratulations to actors John Hutton, Judith Ivey, Kaliswa Brewster and of course to Mark A. Levinson, Writer, Producer and Director by this Excelent. Magnificent work. Thanks!!!
