    Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are a truly dynamic duo. Birdcage is brilliant.

    the movie is a remake from a french movie... like all covers of european movies, its a big insult to us...
    i'll elaborate : the american steal ideas and make horrible movies with them... next thing i kno, they'll make a remake of Roberto Benigni's La vita è bella (Life is beautiful) only it'll take place in Hollywood

    Au contraire, Crayola, this movie is a tribute that pays homage to
    the original. It allowed those of us who do not speak French to enjoy an otherwise inaccessible treat. If it is not true to the original, that is a shame, and I understand what you mean.
    Many great foreign films have been butchered by Hollywood.

    It just has a few scenes that did not translate onto screen well, but is actually not that different.

    I read about an attempt to remake the British TV series Fawlty Towers, which was a total failure, and hilarious to read about. At one point they wrote Basil out of the cast. If you don't know the series, that won't mean much, but Basil is the central character.

    i love Fawlty Towers <3 and yea, i guess not only would that be a terrible idea to take Basil out of the cast, but the whole idea would be disastrous in the sense that the series is funny BECAUSE of its context (the 1970s, the UK...) and john cleese = impossible to replace
