>>she was originally tapped to play Paulina is DEATH AND THE MAIDEN, but Sigourney Weaver eventually got it. I like the film but I wonder how Judy Davis would have handled the last "revelation" scene.<< Hey Joe, and everyone else
I love this movie and also wonder what Judi Davis would have done with Paulina's part. Trivia moment: The play was produced here in Barcelona some years ago and the writer (Ariel Dorfman) threatened to withdraw performing rights if the director refused to change his (the director's) ending which went contrary to the writer's ending. Without spoiling the ending I'll just say that the theatrical version here ended, like the film, with the 3 protagonists listening to 'Death and the Maiden' but then a shot rings out in the concert hall. Big controversy here over it and I think that the director initially refused to change his version but eventually did. Any of you guys out there have any opinions on that? And before I go, and thinking of the Stockholm Syndrome, I went to dinner the other night with someone originally from Argentina and she knows of a couple living here in bcn, he a torturer and his wife the former victim. Weird or what? Serious question. mike
