    I think it's a great illustration of one of the ways an artist can grow old (the bad one): instead of reaching for an ever refined, ever more ethereal version of what inspired you to become a filmmaker and an artist in the first place (Once Upon A Time In America is a great example), you get ossified in your old man preoccupations ("kheh kheh, kids these days!") that are 30 years out of date, you execute it with expressive means that are 30 years out of date, and there's no one to say 'no' to you. Has anyone read about the crushing pressure Ridley Scott was under making "Bladerunner"? Outright sabotage by the crew. Here? Nothing. Art needs constraints, needs pressure. And vitality, rather than bombast and old man wheezing.
