| It was surprisingly bad. It did contain one bit of business that I thought was wonderful though. During Honestly Sincere in addition to the girls fainting as always, they had at least one of the male chorus faint from excitement/attraction too. it was a sly and fun update, probably not noticeable to everyone. Like others, I thought the TV version was great. |

| A boy fainting over another boy isn't an update. It's just the truth. | |

| I was the second one who was directed to faint. We had several guys faint actually. | |

| I'm pretty sure you knew that I didn't mean being gay was new. What was new (or updated) was the inclusion/visibility of a boy's attraction to Conrad. The way it was staged, it was clear that the boy was overcome in the same way the girls were. I had not seen that done before. Perhaps you have? It was deliberate and quite different than having all the boys faint. |

| I seem to remember that when I played Harry McAfee way back when (I was 13, lol), we ALL ultimately fainted, though I assume the girls did so first. | |

| In the movie, all of the people present -- including all of the guys -- eventually faint at the end of "Honestly Sincere." | |

| except that is not the same thing... everyone fainting does imply that it's purely a gay sexual attraction (even if it is the power of his sexuality)... one guy fainting along with the girl makes a clear indication that the guy is gay. | |

| "Except that is not the same thing... everyone fainting does imply that it's purely a gay sexual attraction (even if it is the power of his sexuality)... one guy fainting along with the girl makes a clear indication that the guy is gay." Agreed, it makes it much more explicit than the group-fainting scene. |

| It was about the context. It was clear the boy was attracted to Conrad. Much different than all the boys fainting. | |

| Yes, it's a nod to Gone With the Wind with everyone lying down dead. I'm of course saying that showing a young man fainting over Birdie because he is gay is NOT an "update." | |
