How would've — Page 3

Perhaps, in that production, when she comes back, Higgins thinks she's a burglar and shoots her.

Now THAT would be something to spoil. As it would be new to that production.

But plot points for shows that are old enough to fight and die in the Iraq war??? Come now.

yeah, Millie, please report your experience of my fair lady with the rest of us, I know I am dying to know what happens. but make sure you post spoilers, because I know it's been out for 50 years, with a movie, and at least 500 high school productions a year, but I haven't seen it yet.

But if you've WANTED to see the show, you've had every opportunity to do so, since it's available on tape/dvd.

So really, it's all on you for not having seen it.

First of all, it's not the ending. It's actually relatively minor in terms of the theme of the show. When you finally 'get around' (YOU'VE HAD 20 YEARS) to seeing it, you'll understand that.

Honestly, I would not expect anyone to censor a post (or post title) about the ending of CASABLANCA simply because I haven't gotten around to seeing it. It would be my own fault.

"Why, thanks for the spoilers, since I've never seen INTO THE WOODS."

Avoid the topic then. "Spoiling" Into The Woods is like spoiling Les Mis at this point.

Thinking about it: I think the charecters throw the narrator to the giant in order to choose their own destinies, much like people who reject religion. Except that they still can't control the repercussions of their actions.

It's in the title. Usually, I read the titles of threads. I can't really avoid something I've already read, can you?

And LES MIS is a lot more popular than INTO THE WOODS (and still, I've only seen LES MIS very recently). As far as I know, there has never been a production of INTO THE WOODS in my hometown, and I really don't have the money to buy it offline (as I'm sure the local library wouldn't have had it) when I may not even like it.

"Ok, here's where I find fault with your statements. Jesus gave his life willingly for us. The narrator was thrust in front of a giant forcefully. He didn't want to die for his characters! ALSO, I think God gave us free will to make our own decisions, mistakes, ect. The narrator was - well, narrating the story! The characters HAD to follow along for the first act. Just my two cents :) "

I see your point. But I think it depends on how you look at it. Actually Jesus I'm sure did not want to die for us, his father made him do it. it was pre-destined. but remember, Jesus wept at the fact that he was going to have to sacrifice his life for humanity. he went into the garden the night before and begged not to be made to do the deed his father was going to have him do.

also, it comes down to how you view life, whether or not you think that God has pre-arranged it. if he has, then he is like the narrator, but if we really do have free-will, then you would be correct.

but what if we only think we have free will, and God still knows the choices we were going to make the whole time?

what I'm saying is that in today's times, the majority of people have rejected religion, and in doing so killed God in thier own way, just as the characters killed thier own narrator. And remember, OK, SPOILER TIME IF ANYONE WHO IS READING THIS HAS NOT SEEN THE DAMN SHOW!!!!!!!!

it was only the witch who threw him to the giant. some of the other characters threatened him, but it was only the witch (Satan, symbolically?) that threw him to his death.
