     My main point is that time is not the chief marker of creation or 
     viewing, that is, just because a director says this scene will take 5 
     minutes does not mean it will "be" five minutes to everybody. It may 
     be 1 or, in Tarkovsky's case, 3,000.

     Ah, we finally agree. I agree that the subjective time differs, but my 
     point is that in film the objective time is of greater importance than 
     in books.
