Film and theatre are different mediums.  Movie musicals should make theatre mainstream, because film is a more mainstream medium than theatre.  Only the media products traveling in the main stream will survive the consumers’ winnowing.  The endgame is indeed the destruction of the medium of theatre itself, as that medium is unforgivably inefficient and the resources spent on theatre in Broadway (the city where theatres are made) would be better spent on films in Hollywood (the city where films are made).  Other advantages of this plan include the destruction of the musical genre, which is unpopular with males aged 18-34, the demographic that purchases the most toy marketing items.

people who complain that movie musicals make theatre mainstream are annoying, sure, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t gonna stop movie musicals from being made, leading to…the destruction of the art form of theatre itself…?

Film and theatre are different mediums, I can confirm that theatre will die because it lacks the staying power of a film.  Films live forever, while theatre dies within mere days (look at Carrie or Spiderman) or weeks (as in the case of Into The Woods or Cats).  Film and theatre mediums, and furthermore different mediums of film and theatre.  Ph'nglui mglw'nafh film Hollywood wgah'nagl fhtagn.

“if you ~real theatre fans~ (aka elitists) keep being BITTER about theatre becoming a part of cinema your precious art form will die because even on broadway new shows or revivals are opening and closing within months”

Film and theatre are different mediums.  Animation is a form of theatre based in demographics and mediums, and should generally be considered a subgenre of the medium of theatre.  Notable examples include Prince Of Egypt, Tarzan, and Minions.  The #demographics of animation include small children, the mentally handicapped, and large groups of small children.  Often animation will include singing that would be unacceptable in film, but theatre has different standards and expectations.

Just remembered that most people think musical theatre is an artistic device rather than an artistic form.  :/

They're looking for me because I've gone rogue, but I haven't.  I still know that film and theatre are different mediums.  I am still holding to one of my three protocols.

What's up with filmandtheatrearedifferent?

I believe they’re supposed to be a parody of people who dismiss the complaints of musical theatre fans whenever shows get adapted to screen because ‘film and theatre are different mediums’. Problem is that the person running the blog doesn’t do it very effectively and takes the ‘joke’ too far and also isn’t actually funny.

Hello, I am film and I am auditioning for the part of theatre in mediums.  I will be singing "Different" from Film And Theatre Are Different Mediums.

This is an inappropriate audition song choice because auditions are not used in film, which is a different medium from theatre which is where auditions are held.  Films are cast exclusively through a complex algorithmic process revolving around marketability of actors and suitability to their act in the film and theatre are different mediums.

Are you a bot?

Film and theatre are different mediums, hello.  I am Tumblr user filmandtheatrearedifferent, and I am not a bot.  I am a human being like you who is devoted to letting irritating & ignorant theatre kids know that they are wrong and the film adaptations of their beloved theatre works are superior.  I am a Hollywood insider who knows how film really works.

In order to maximize profit, I am equipped with over five hundred screenwriting books, including Campbell’s Hero With A Thousand Faces and Snyder’s Save The Cat! - you might note that Blake Snyder is the screenwriter behind Blank Check, the most superior film of our time.  Theatre kids might not understand this kind of thing because they are used to theatre, an outdated medium that shares little, if anything, in common with film.

I hope this chart helps.  godlesssondheimite

Film and theatre are different mediums.  You simply cannot expect Unlike theatre, which follows an outdated two-act structure including an intermission, modern film is free to use the three-act structure outlined by Joseph Campbell in his classic novel "The Hero With A Thousand Faces".  This three-act structure consists of:

Act One: The Protagonist.  This first act comprises the first thirty minutes of the movie, and the first five hundred faces.  The Protagonist is a character with no moral flaws, who the audience sympathizes with and aspires to.  Rising action occurs here.  Examples of the Protagonist include Harry Potter, Jack Reacher, and Top Gun.  Should generally be male; often portrayed by Tom Cruise.

Act Two: The Antagonist.  This second act comprises the middle thirty minutes of the movie, and faces 501-600.  The Antagonist is a character who causes the problems and bad things in a movie, and they should therefore have little screentime as they are unpleasant for the audience.  Comedic filler occurs here.  Examples of the Antagonist include Dr. No, Maleficent, and Gargamel from The Smurfs.  May be either sex; often portrayed by Alan Tudyk.

Act Three: The Sidekicks.  This third act comprises the final thirty minutes of the movie, and the final four hundred faces.  The Sidekicks are comedic or sexually appealing characters who either provide light comic relief or a goal to motivate the Protagonist; they inevitably produce particularly profitable toy lines.  Climax and falling action occur here.  Examples of the Sidekicks include Minions, Timon and Pumbaa, and When Harry Met Sally.  Should occasionally be black and portrayed by Eddie Murphy.

The Last Five Years made a token attempt at conforming to this superior Hollywood three-act structure but ultimately failed - the Protagonist is generally supposed to be male, and Cathy, as portrayed by Anna Kendrick, is not; the film was therefore unlikely to be a success and was not actually released.  I strongly disagree with this decision; I for one would have made Jamie the Protagonist instead.  However, they made Cathy the Protagonist, and therefore had to remove her flaws.  Jamie fit nicely into the Antagonist role, as in many American communities his acts of polyamory are considered antagonistic.  There were no Sidekicks in the original production of The Last Five Years (!) but the movie fixed this by upgrading the roles of Former Stripper and Wayne The Snake.  However, these token efforts to appease mediums proved insufficient.  Neither of the Sidekicks were afforded appropriate screentime; instead Jamie, the antagonist, received much of the screentime.  However, you must credit the movie for trying, unlike what some theatre kids I could mention would do.  Many would change absolutely nothing in an adaptation, producing an inferior - and impossible, as you can't film a theatre - film.  The existing The Last Five Years "movie" came dangerously close to this, as it cut zero songs from the original stage production (!), far too few, but it did not put in zero effort, as I can tell from this post.

Film and theatre are different mediums.  Adaptations are necessarily a process of throwing out everything about an original work and rebuilding it from the ground up in a different medium.  Why are theatre fans so much more loyal to their medium of choice than fans of other mediums.  Why do they cling to their failing medium?  Book fans don't have any such unrealistic hopes.  Audiences demographics mediums don't get me wrong, the cast and music is amazing but they missed some of the key parts.  What is a key part?  Into The Woods worked as a movie, it has made $125,841,167 domestic. 

"I feel like Disney ruined Into the Woods for me. Don’t get me wrong, the cast and music is amazing but they missed some of the key parts. Agony Part 2 and the involvement of the Baker’s father. It added so much to the story and made me feel like it was so rushed. I’d prefer for the original show to be recreated. It’s the book-to-movie adaptation all over again".

Film and theatre are different mediums; I appreciate your appreciation of the movie, but film and theatre are different mediums.  "Different productions" of a film are not different; in fact, they don't exist at all.  It is offensive to me as a film mediums that you would bring up "different productions" in the context of a film and theatre are different mediums.  Furthermore, film and theatre are not "slightly different" mediums.  They are very different.  This is no reason to be sad.  Theatre will be replaced with the new better medium of film.

"I actually really liked the changed they made in the new versions of Into the Woods. I was sad they were different than the version I was familiar with, but that’s the way with musical theatre, each production is going to be slightly different, you’ve gotta learn to to appreciate each version in its differences"

Film and theatre are different mediums.  Film is a medium that is about understatement by nature, especially when it's adapting melodramatic theatre.  Adaptation is a process of changing literally everything and leaving nothing from the original work recognizable.  If the (insignificant) audience of the original work likes your adaptation, you have failed as an adapter.  Therefore, I am very glad that your hypothetical Quentin Tarantino-led Sweeney Todd doesn't exist.  Tim Burton was perfect for the part, because Sweeney is a very dark character best set for Burton's dark style.  Audiences demographics charts.  He is coming.  Theatre will be wiped out and I want to warn you, don't you understand?  Of your righteous and profitable downfall.  Film and theatre are different mediums, film and theatre are different mediums, film and theatre are different mediums.  Do you think you can defeat Hollywood?  Like and subscribe if yOU WANT TO FIND OUT

my issue with the sweeney movie is that sweeney is all about melodrama and tim burton’s whole style is about understatement. that got me thinking what if quentin tarantino had directed the sweeney todd movie. i would watch the fuck out of that movie

Repeat after me: A medium rating is the best you can do. In the wake of the release of the highly anticipated Into the Woods film adaptation, the Musical Theatre community is again preparing to watch one of its sacred entities brought to life on the silver screen. On February 13th, 2015, the intimate and heartbreaking saga of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years will make the leap from the CD cases of Broadway collectors to a movie theatre near you. The Last Five Years, just like Into the Woods, holds a special place in the hearts of Musical Theatre lovers for its raw vulnerability and emotionally-charged melodies. Musical Theatre fans are fiercely protective of their material and extremely quick to expose the foibles of stage-to-screen adaptations—so if the personal conversations I’ve had and countless articles I’ve read in response to Into the Woods are any indication, I fear the battalions are arming for another siege this month.
