| There are a million shows, films, books etc about collateral WWII stories. Some are wonderful, some awful and many in between. And naturally, people don't all find the same resonance in them. I think you can apply the same notions to CFA. For me, it was pretty flat-footed on almost every level (book, music, lyric, staging etc) Others found a lot more to enjoy than I did. At its core I thought this was about as deep as a Lifetime movie, and about as well written. Imagine for a moment what Spielberg (someone who has told a lot of small stories on a large canvas) would have done differently here. |
