Yeah, but you said "almost an exact." Without them shooting the stage version with a camera and putting it on a screen, there is no way it would have been an exact replica. The "almost" implies that it was pretty darn close, and I just don't see how anyone could think that, regardless of their opinion of the movie.
People always say "it's the same argument," but I haven't really said much seen the movie came out. Occasionally a thread pops up in which I feel compelled to post. I mean no disrespect to any of the posters, nor do I feel I am being disrespected. If people discuss it rationally, I don't know why the debate shouldn't continue. It ain't goin' nowhere, anyway.
