Pacing - ok, I see. I think though it's a bigger problem in Revengers Tragedy, with the scene at the court and when the Duke's sons visit the jail officials. What's your opinion?
I'll have to check out the films you mentioned.
Thing is, DATC is timeless. You couldn't tell it was made so long ago. And it's quite an achievement (films that are made in a similar fashion usually reflect the period they're made in, even in being the complete opposite).
Agree about the acting skills. While he did become even better, he already had it right there - and it's only his third big screen appearance. I want to believe that more than one director is biting his nails that they didn't get him in some fascinating project back then.
Yes, in that commentary, Cox wondered where did material for that final scene come from. His Red was incredible. How he bent every phrase: Getting distracted at "All roads lead to Rome", then of course "Do you honestly believe that we live more than once?". And how they tackled the voice changes.
