On personal level he may have seen it otherwise, we don't know, but when the medium is basically 'visual', without sort of subtitles as to depict characters thoughts and emotions, it should be so. And even if, as my previous post shows, I believe there were means of putting a hint of it into the movie, there is not much one would be well-advised to expect from form of art which usually depicts 'will' as clenching of one's fists and teeth, manly chin and resolute stare .

Unfortunately, not in this case. Seems we have 'GDI first, else over it' situation here.
BTW, Boethian vs Manichaean view, anyone?
PS (or disclaimer) Slightly sarcastic flavour of my few recent posts must be due to overwork and cold I've caught yesterday. So it is not deliberately aimed at anyone, just a mood, I hope)
