I still stand you have to be "retarded" not to "understand" the plot of this film on the first "viewing".
He understood and mentioned what there was, and explained how the lack of any additional information made a deeper understanding IMPOSSIBLE.
I honestly don't know what kind of 'deeper' meaning you're looking for.
Should Nute Gunray have done a PowerPoint to explain to the audience how taxes effect his business? Should the Queen have explained to her councellors why a blockade was bad for them? Should Qui-Gon have worn a t-shirt that read "Protaganist?" Should the protocol droid have said, "I'm mostly sure they're Jedi because they looked and acted like Jedi and had lightsabers and Jedi-brand boots"? Would these things have helped you reach that deeper understanding you so crave?
So you kinda admit the fact that the movie provides no information on those aspects, while simultaneously criticizing RLM for (intentionally?) "not understanding" those aspects? ;)
At the end of the day, you're pretty much painting yourself into a corner because what little understandable "plot" there was (i.e. Sidious using a trivial McGuffin for his own goals, which, in the movie, is nothing more than getting his alter ego promoted to chancellor), RLM acknowledged, and all the absent elaborations were criticized for not being there, rather than "purposefully not understood" (hint - by your admission, the movie didn't provide any of those details for anyone to "understand). ;)
... ... ...
So um yea, not sure if you're trying to defend the movie, or just try to put down RLM's review for the sake of it, or because you didn't watch it properly and missed out on like 90% of its content, but basically, TPM fails and so do you.
By my admission!?!??! Wow, you've backed me into a corner Columbo! Here I am admitting the film doesn't waste time dealing with answers to questions you keep asking that I maintain are stupid and don't need to be answered or even addressed.
Are you honestly unable to grasp that a planetary blockade is a bad thing for Naboo? Were you honestly confused when the two men in robes turned out to be Jedi? Can you honestly not figure out how a shady politician like Sidious/Palpatine might be manipulating the TF without it being spelled out to you? Could you honestly not figure out why the TF would want an investigation sent to Naboo by the Senate? Your hero, RLM apparently couldn't.
TPM has many flaws. These are not them. These are stupid.
Oh yeah, epic pwnz on you.
