At this venture, Powell was unknown and going by the alias of "Paine" - it wasn't until the middle of the trial that they even knew his real name was Powell..

You caught that too, huh ? Yeah, I was admittedly disappointed that the Gardner scene aboard the Saugus was only feet away from the pier when it was really anchored 100 yards away in the stream. Does it take away from the scene or change it in away? No. Just a minor detail that a select few people would even notice.

With CGI, it would have been easy enough to accomplish but it may not have been in the budget.

My other differences with the movie were in regards to the attack on Seward and Booth's death.

Erik, any comments on that? If you want to take this conversation offline, I would be happy to do so. You did a great job and one in which you should be very proud. However, I know you are perfectionist and may sincerely want to know what you may have missed on the test.

Pointing out misses that can't be changed may be like complaining that someone's wedding could have been better had the DJ played more 80's songs or that the Filet Mignon would have been better served with a different wine. I don't want to be that person so if thats your perception, I won't go there.
