No idea why I saw some reviews giving it 2 stars out 5 (I don't read reviews before I go see the movie). I agree with most of your review except the part about the crispness of the way scenes were shot. Now, I'm just a regular film goer, beyond the broadcasting classes I took at J-school, I really know nothing about filming and I found the times where the scenes looked so real, like you were actually there were pretty disconcerting because not all scenes were that crisp. It seemed to me, to go back and forth between super clear, were filming it as it happened 80 years ago back to regular, hollywood film. And it was long, and this is only a problem because the seats at the theatre are ridiculously uncomfortable so after an hour your checking your blackberry to see how much time you have left before you can stretch. But those are relatively minor and besides that you're right in every single way and this is an awesome story that was told by one of my favorite actors of all time.
