To the two who don't like the film: why not? Is it because it's unfaithful to the original stage show?

Many people consider it the greatest film musical ever made. (I'm no stranger to controversial opinion myself; I don't like the Chicago film)."

 

Firstly, I’ll confess that I just have a hard time separating it from the show. Most of my favorite material from the show is cut, so it’s just hard to watch it without thinking about that. On principle, I do agree it should be treated as its own thing, I just have a hard time getting there. 

If I’m thinking more critically, less sentimentally: it’s not so much the cuts that bother me (despite my statements above, I’m the furthest thing from a purist), as much as the material that takes their place. The increased focus on the love triangle is just not very interesting to me. And likewise, I find Fritz and Natalia to be boring replacements for Schneider and Schultz, and I don’t care much (lol) for that whole new plot line.

Having said that, I'm not much of a fan of the original Cabaret film (a controversial opinion, I know). So I'd be curious to see a remake that's somewhat more faithful to the stage version."

I despised his “A Star is Born” as well, for a multitude of reasons.

I really don’t like the idea of them touching “Cabaret” too. 
 

Is there really that small an amount of original ideas circling around? If he and Gaga can’t find one…
