You need separate your feelings and your emotions when watching the five-part miniseries, White House Plumbers, for the sense of disbelief will be all consuming as the understanding of just how perilously close the United States of America came to be under a tyranny, and how deliriously the ineptness of certain individuals saved the country from being a danger to itself.

If the biopic serves any purpose, it is to serve justice to the characters it is its honour to portray, a quest that for many falls short or has to be suitably arranged so that it spices up what is otherwise the dull and routinely languid.

You cannot blame a film studio for keeping a franchise going when it remarkably continues to have fans clamouring, almost chomping at the bit to revel in its storylines and desiring to learn more about the possibilities of other worlds. You cannot fault business for delivering what the public wants, it is when the film studio brings to the screen the unexpected that is when you have to praise them for their sense of direction, for the understanding that when you have a formula that works, you don’t let it fade, you don’t let it become stale.

When a film doesn’t know what it wants to be, perhaps the best thing that an audience can do is allow it to flow naturally and under its own progression. Putting a film into a genre specific box sometimes doesn’t fit, too many square edges, a piece of corner missing, and allusion to subtext which has no space to breathe; and yet flow it does, it somehow squeezes past defiance and nestles in the hole it has walked with confidence into and refuses to budge.

When you reach the bottom of the glass, perception is everything, it can define who you are because of what you see or what you fail to register; the comfort of the glass might be the great pain killer and momentary healer but it does nothing for your eyesight or your ability to think through a situation clearly.
