re: your effort to teach Marlow about singular versus plural.
Or, more accurately your error, to assume literacy amongst the readership,
and, not just the readership, but the admin.. patently illiterate.

HaHaHa - I wouldn’t presume to come it the grammatical pedagogue to Marlow on English,
especially in view of his magnanimous forebearance of my barneskol bokmål. And I sympathize
with Der Fuehrer - I manage to mumble something barely comprehensible to a Norwegian
and they come back at me with a machine gun reply. I just felt like screaming
ISN’T IT PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT I’M JUST DOING THIS FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT? DON’T MAKE IT WORSE BY BEING SO BLOODY POLITE!

After that... my guess is you'll never hear from him again.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
And like that...
he's gone.

Jim, you are correct about the comma.
the dialog in the clip you posted is many miles away from the supposed subtitles, not even close to the same conversation
but alas, that is German, not English... well almost German, Adolf had a slight accent.

Once again I politely have to agree with Reilly. Marlow's rude politeness is no joke. Then there's the hypotethical case in which Marlow might be a joker...
Which brings me to the best insult movie scene. There's an American way and there's an English way... Marlow find the English way a little overstated, but well done...

Marlow is unique and a steady hand on the helm. I value his objectivity.
Let's try using a much broader brush on this picture.
A bit of professional commentary can sway one's opinion on most similar issues. Why not in the cinema?

I can answer that. Judgements like this are not really objective, only subjective. There is so much to compare objectively (lighting, acting, all the technical aspects, originality...it's a long list) that without awarding points for each category there is only how the whole of a work makes you feel in comparison to others of its like.
