First, he had to cut down the original's four-hour runtime to something more manageable. He started with the scenes and songs he knew he couldn't live without, then started cutting excess and reorganizing plot points so the whole thing still made sense.

I love the idea of this sort of modernization at a time when the story and struggle of refugees is so relevant globally and a much debated topic of what actions to take surrounding the refugee crisis. As much as I love this idea it must have been such a labor of love for the director because a whole revisualization of the script alone not to mention the addition of needing to cut the script down it must’ve been a monumental task. I also think the idea of the set design is the perfect execution of the concept that they are trying to plan. Usually I have issues with the idea of “timeless” look because it is unrealistic ideal presented by the director but it seemed like there was a abbreviated time frame of looking like it was not specifically located in any place which works well. I love the feeling that the stacked lifejackets would give a space.
