First, there is a reason why the immortal "Gone with the Wind", which involved a turbulent love affair in the American south during the Civil War and Reconstruction, took almost 4 hours to see. You apparently cannot make a quality, classic film about the Civil War in less time. Ken Burns' acclaimed documentary film "The Civil War" consisted of 9 episodes and took 11 hours to view. http://bbs.taodg.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=21593 Fifth, writer William Monahan's first draft of the script was 186 pages. Executive producer Lisa Ellzey thought Fox would never approve the script because of its length, so she cut it to only 20 pages before submitting it.
"Lost in Translation" Makes the Meaning of Life Sound Elusive http://www.wb256.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=88509 Copyright © 2009 Ed Bagley
Ultimately, both characters are seeking meaning in their lives. http://www.qlx11.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=187589 In addition the movie garnered another 27 wins and 5 nominations, including Golden Globe wins for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor and a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Third, when 3-time, Best Director Oscar-nominee Ridley Scott ("Black Hawk Down", "Gladiator" and "Thelma and Louise") presented the film to the studio at 194 minutes (3 hours and 14 minutes), the studio execs demanded that it be cut to two hours, believing that moviegoers would not sit through a 3-hour film. http://www.txwwxn.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=46687 Cromwell is an English statesman and the chief minister to King Henry VIII.  It is Cromwell who presides over King Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon in 1533 and Henry's subsequent break with the Roman Catholic Church.

In addition, there were apparently 15,000 handmade costumes for the film that also required helmets, boots, gloves, chainmail, belts and scabbards. The flag budget for the film was $250,000. There were 7,500 weapons, 3,000 shields and 20,000 arrows used in the film. In one scene alone, there were 143 extras, 60 military personnel, 125 horses and 60 camels. http://nujia2012.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=29093 Gracie Hart is cast as an unattractive, disheveled, bumbling FBI agent who has no life beyond her 24/7 commitment to her job. When it is determined that a wacko, serial killer has set his sights on a Miss United States beauty pageant, Agent Hart is a reluctant last choice to go undercover.
More resigns as chancellor, seeking to live out his life as a private citizen, but Henry VIII will settle for nothing less than More's public approval of his headstrong course.  Sir Thomas refuses to either endorse or denounce the King's action, and remains a man of principle. http://fengniao.net/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=257314 The independent film earned Sofia Coppola an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and also had 2003 Oscar nominations for Best Picture (won by "The Lord of the Rings, the Return of the King", bad timing for Sofia), Best Director (won by Peter Jackson for Lord of the Rings) and Bill  Murray as Best Actor (won by Sean Penn in "Mystic River").
Thankfully, this opening was not a precursor to the film, which sought to explore a more important issue: the meaning of life.  As two unhappy individuals in their roles, both Murray and Johansson struggle to find real meaning in their current circumstances. http://jeijai.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=74309 Second, there may be a market for a film in the Middle Ages about the Christian Crusades, a series of military expeditions by Europeans to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims in the 11th, 12th and 13th Centuries. That market, regrettably, is very small compared to an epic about the Civil War, World War I or World War II.
Even director Donald Petrie could not totally control the amount of glut in Miss Congeniality's script. There were enough sidesteps, missteps and sight gags for a novelist to write a trilogy, and none of them worked all that well. Petrie cut some of the crap out, but the writers were trying to make a career out of writing one script. http://www.auv518.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=279576&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=34846 Sir Thomas More loses his head (no pun intended) but most importantly, not his soul. Sir Thomas is later canonized as Saint Thomas More by the Roman Catholic Church.
"Lost in Translation" was written and directed by Sofia Coppola and won enough awards to fill a grocery cart. http://www.caixuwang.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=606576 One example is when More testifies before an inquiry committee and Norfolk attempts to persuade him to sign an oath of allegiance:
