Characters
I enjoyed the movie very much. I was just wondering, did you ever consider having more horses in it?

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
William begins with approval of the film and then narrows his response to one unusually specific possibility: more horses. The question makes that detail the measure by which the film might be reconsidered. The broad praise and the narrow suggestion sit oddly beside one another.
