Mr Slave trader.

I wonder is those little scenes that allude to the sort of slave trade that happened from Warsaw are actually true, I wasn't aware the Nazi's had much to do with south America. In any case it’s hard for me to think of anything else to say about his movie.

All those other characters that Guy pursues to find out about Mr. Akadins past are very interesting, and it isn't hard to imagine they too have interesting stories that are unfortunately unknown to us. However it does drag on a little too much at times and you wish you could see more of some characters than others. 

Mr. Akadins decision to hire an underworld smuggler, who also happened to be dating his daughter, when scrutinized, isn't exactly a sound plan. Much like the daughters decision to repeated whatever guy tells her isn't very well thought out, when you really look into it. The non-linear narrative does a lot to compensate for all the questions you could raise about what the characters do and more importantly , in my opinion, it builds up the viewers desire to see more of Mr Akadin himself.

The scene where Akadin is dressed up at a ball [where his medieval get up doesn't look out unusual on him for whatever reason] and tells everyone the story about the frog and the scorpion, Also explains to us ,before any of his old acquaintances do, how Mr Akadian happens to work. In theory you wouldn't find it so easy to pallet a former Nazi slave trader but as the story goes "It’s just my nature". Mr Akadin just seems to act the way he is personified. You expect a character such as his to act as he does for it just seems like it’s his natural way to act.

Akadin just commands a sort of natural presence that you don't see regularly, which made more is interesting by the fact that we know nothing about for a great part of the movie. The title tells you the way you need to look to really understand the movie. Mr Akadin. Everyone else seems to exist just to further our understanding of him. This sort of passive glorification you'd find natural about some great peace loving chap and not a wealth capitalist with no past. Yet it all just feels so natural for "It’s just my nature"
