Maybe the Conclave Guy Is Actually Bad at Making Movies?

In Macau, the film’s main character, played by Colin Farrell, feels like an outsider – a ‘gweilo,’ or foreign ghost, practically invisible to those around him. He narrates that this anonymity allows him to reinvent himself. The story’s central twist is that he’s deliberately playing a role: pretending to be a wealthy British lord named Lord Doyle. He adopts the trappings of the upper class – silk scarves, a neatly trimmed mustache, and a pair of leather gloves he claims are from a prestigious tailor on Savile Row. It doesn’t really matter if anyone believes his act; people are happy to take his money. However, by the film’s beginning, his funds are dwindling, and he’s trying to avoid paying the hefty bills he’s accumulated for his luxurious hotel suite and room service.
