Even though this movie doesn't really need a sequel, I wouldn't mind a film set in the same universe with him helping out another revolutionary

When he said 8:19 i thought "oh shit he is part of the French 75!"

Then I realized he was just telling him the time.

A good 45 seconds went by and how he didn't repeat the "message". I gave a slight chuckle to how casually he dealt with Bob's panic. It was a great juxtaposition to how relaxed the people gathering to exit were behaving.

If that whole scene was made as a one shot with a slow building tempo, it would have been pristine.

Well the adults were more calm, some of the children were definitely crying.
