<p>Hi guys
I really couldn't understand the meaning the vocabulary and the logical structure of this sentence: </p>
<p>They were also enthusiastic, as were critics, more of whom will likely embrace its waggish humor and anti-art-establishment ethos when it is shown out of competition at the Berlin Film Festival this week.</p>
<p>Could you help me please ?</p>
<p>Is there any comment ? </p>
<p>They were also enthusiastic
(as were the critics
(more of whom will likely embrace
[its waggish humor and anti-art establishment ethos
[when it is shown out of competition at the Berlin Film Festival this week
]
]
)
).</p>
<p>There are supposed to be 2 sentences here 1. They were also enthusiastic, as were critics; 2. More of THEM … this week. But here the writer combines 2 sentences into one, by changing them into whom so it’s not a run-on sentence.
For example: the candies are beautiful, each of them has different color => wrong, run on sentence
the candies are beautiful, each of which has different color => right
This is also another way of combining that u should take note of: the candies are beautiful, each HAVING different color
Hope this clears out</p>
