No marriage is, but the reality in their relationship are what allow her to be seduced by the prince and let us accept it as paet of her character flaw. The baker and his wife do not argue as much as they do in the play. a fact which makes it funnier when the baker is horrified his wife would leave the baby with Red. Red is a bit scarier in the musical, pulling out her knife. Now, if they were teens, then his reluctance is more understandable. And it seems odd that the baker is willing to say no to letting them stay with him when Jack can't be over 10. The song, No one is alone didn't seem as powerful because these kids are so young that obviously someone will take care of them. With them as teenagers, there is a growing up they are suddenly forced to do. Hello little girl is a seduction song and has many innuendos that worked sort of ok as Lilla looks 13 -14. According to the bonus features, the director feels its supposed to be children and not teenagers.
It's the writer's version of show don't tell. You sob because his words resignate, not because he is showing us how sad he is. just, no more " In theater we are taught that the actor NOT crying is powerful. " and the baker sing a short heartbreaking song that ends, ".No more giants waging! Can't we just pursue our lives w/our children & our wives 'til that happy day arrives, how do you ignoreĪll the witches, all the curses, the false hopes, the good-byes, the reversesĪll the wondering what even worse is still in storeĪll the giants. In the play the mysterious man (aka his father) says, "We disappoint, we disappear, we die but we don't. Then there is the scene where the baker runs off after finding out his wife has died.
Way to the woods music movie#
I still cry at the "eyes of an angel." animal commercials, but the movie just didn't provide me with an emotional connection. Can spout almost every line ad nauseam and yet I still cry at the end of even High school Productions. However, this movie did a disservice to those who have never seen the real deal. not everything can fit into those 2 hours. I would like to say that my disappointment is like that of one whose favorite book is made into a movie. can't stress that jolly tidbit enough) and their petty wants get pushed aside as life completely is changed for everyone. Then the giantess starts destroying things as she looks for Jack (because he murdered her Husband. so when you see them again time has passed & they are all back to wanting more. :) The musical has an intermission after they all get their happy ever after. (Because the body count is no laughing matter. and all the much needed comic relief crafted into the second half of the musical. Not to mention the missing characters such as the narrator/father (well, the many funny theater scenes). because, let's face it, the one thing humans are good at is forgetting life lessons. Then out of the woods - and happily ever after!" Then Cinderella says, "I wish." and everyone looks at her in horror. "Into the woods, each time you go There's more to learn of what you know.Into the woods to mind the wolf, to Heed the witch, to Honor the giant. She was kind to the thieving, murderous boy, Jack. Into the woods but not to stray or tempt the wolf or steal from the giant." Because, let's face it, the giant is the most innocent party in the whole play. There is one last reprise of the theme "Into the woods" One verse says, ". Also, the true finale of the musical has a wonderful lesson that is completely cut out the movie. Yes the Giant dies in the musical but because of the limitations of stage the scene is less about getting that giant but focuses on the people struggling to survive against giant odds. The whole movie ends with Children Will Listen and all I can think of is the kids who just learned that it is ok to kill to get what you want. A musical with so many moral lessons and all the movie can focus on is KILLING the Giant as the big finale. End credits roll, and I sat there more angry than sad. This movie had an all star cast and I was so excited. Performed lesser characters myself until I finally got to be the Witch. I'd grown up listening to Bernadette Peters.
