Theater is an art I can admire and see the value in, but it’s never been one I’ve enjoyed all that much. I’m never really able to connect, all I really see is the actors reciting lines, rather...

In general, biographies of big historical figures are avoided today, with filmmakers usually choosing to highlight only a specific event in the person’s life. We've seen it recently with films...
