Into the Woods TBOSAS

This is movie-based, not book-based. It was a good adaptation, but I have separate thoughts about each—kind of like the OG “Hunger Games.”The internet has various thoughts about this scene. It’s all very valid discussion and considering the entire canon—books or movies—we know that Coryo becomes “President Snow”: An obsessive, genocidal tyrant. I fully understand that.But this, my friends, is fanfiction. And Tom, Rachel, Josh and Hunter gave such moving performances, I left the theatre asking myself (pretending he could be more than the devil incarnate): What if Coriolanus had broken down a few minutes earlier? What if he didn’t leave Lucy Gray because he was only after the murder weapon and loose ends, and because he hated the woods more than a joke about mosquitos (like in the book)? What if his tears had come in front of her—if Sejanus had hit him again right there—instead of Tom’s beautiful woodland breakdown being triggered by the snake beneath his mother’s scarf?Anyhow—my compliments to the actors, the director, the costume prop and set designers, the music creators & especially the intimacy director. I daydream on their shoulders.Enjoy! :)
