There were many weak, potentially drab links, but the skeletal frame work managed to hold, or rather stitch, everything together in a decent manner.

    Klaus remains to be a well-written and an audacious character with a vehement wild side; the moral implications of it are all over the place, and yet, I still cannot get enough of his character. I don't know what it is; it is elusive though. His character has depth, there shouldn't be any denials on this front, which is why morality seems to be the highlight from the opposition. However, moral compass and characterization should never mix as it's a volatile and an absurdly self-serving mixture. Which is why the moral ambiguity is serviceable here.

    Hence, I am appalled by some of the critics taking this route. It just opens a nice, wide window into this whole blogger-turned-critic routine some of the these folk have adopted, as it seems that they have never laid they eyes upon any decent - and real - critics' essays from the past. Given that characterization cannot be soldered to characters being 'good or bad' within this ridiculous and tightly formed moral compass some of the critics have created for themselves. The internet, silver-back critic warriors are so cool these days with their faster tongues - or fingers - and sluggish brains. I doubt we have seen the last of this stupidity.

    It would be helpful if they actually moved away from their key-boards and read (real) critical thought to spare us this colourful garbage called opinions. It's giving me a very big headache. It is just annoying to see creativity torn away from narrative and character psychology and the forceful moral inserts into this domain ... the presumptuousness of it all that seems to drive a common critic's petulance.    … Expand
