| As I said, the changes were primarily directorial choices. The book itself was not rewritten. And, yes, the changes in the actual words were minimal. The concept, however, was not minimal. Sam Mendes showed great respect for the written word even though his directorial choices were radical. Yes, he put the audience in the cabaret, but he didn't have to re-write the show to do it. And, for the record, Joe did not like the movie at all. But that's another story. And Christopher Isherwood liked the movie but not the show. |
