Ragtime
In the beginning I realy like the tempo of the film but towards the end it became a bit "still".
I had a hard time to understand the role of the model's, director's and many other character parts of the plot. They've been abandonded and reintroduced many times throughout the film. In the end I was left unanswered, and I still doesn't understand why those characters were important for the plot.
There's a slight chance that I wasn't that observant but I have a feeling that the director/writer had to cut huge subplots from the book to fit the length to a reasonable one.
