The Lone Seed rides again, and with him, his partner and steed, Tantamount! (Puns are allowed, yes?)

You're very gracious, John. Thanks for the early word on this film.

"a full knowledge of the impactfulness of the performance" ... does this translate to "a full knowledge of the quality of having an impact"?

I still don't understand. Does this mean that the actor has knowledge that his portrayal will have great impact (and if so, on what or whom?); or does it mean that the character he portrays had a great impact? Isn't it easier to say he had knowledge of the impact, or potential for impact, or of Wilberforce's impact?

I do understand the fluidity of the English language; I just don't understand the need for a new word that is a somewhat vague and longer variation of the old word, when the old word sufficed.

Semantics aside, I envy you the early opportunity to see this film.
