Start a thread about each of them, if I happen to see it and have an opinion, I'll post and you'll hear. I didnt' start this thread.
But also, it stood out to me as a change/sacrifice that impacted the song and perhaps the presentation of the musical as a film negatively. Perhaps most of the other transposing you're referring to didn't come off that way to me. Am I not allowed to dislike changing one thing if I don't dislike all changes made to anything?
The massive cuts and changes made for the film of Cabaret made for a brilliant film and I support them based on the end result (it's not quite a film of the stage musical Cabaret, but still). I do not support the massive cuts and/or changes made for Sweeney Todd, or Forum, or Nine, for example. Sometimes changes are good sometimes bad, sometimes neither. Somethings they are necessary to support an actor whose casting is otherwise pretty good and without whom the movie may not have been made.. that doesn't mean, if the reasons were noble and reasonable, that the result was good. |

I thought all along he would have been better as Javert than Valjean. - TheOtherOne 05:21 pm EST 02/06/22 |
