Portraying a long life is a serious undertaking. Here is a film that is purposely filled with artiface, briiliant color and makeup. Our hero is filled with corny virtue and presumptive thinking that England's right to empire is inarguable. It took me a third viewing of the 163 min version to get this film with any comfort. I'ts about an individual who's core doesn't change in changing times. There are tragic aspects to this inflexibility along with heroic aspects that are ripe for ridicule.
I'm of 70+years and see Inflexibility is at the heart of comedy. My relationship with contemporary music comes to mind. For that matter MCU too. Check this film out at different times of your life, along with YouT's Scorsese and others insightful analysis. Its a splendid old school film and regret I havent seen it in 35mm.
