Peter Dinklage stars as the lovesick 17th century soldier/poet in this delightful screen adaptation of the stage musical.

However, Cyrano deeply loves Roxanne, who falls in love with Christian at first sight. She would want to use Cyrano as her aid to have Christian. He(Cyrano) aids the two sides with his great poetry and his persuasive speech. He can not express his love to Roxanne because he thinks she can not love him back. Unfortunately, his confession comes with his death.

Well, such a plot is one that the millennials would very much enjoy despite it's choice of cast. I feel that Christian being a blackman was just put in to balance the boat of racism, but he was supposed to be a whiteman.

It's not clear whether it was meant to expose blacks as being limited in poetry and persuasive approaches. The choice of Dinklage was a great move because he is a great actor whose acting skills and appeal one can doubt.

Being a musical drama, the back-to-back songs made it sound and look like those Amitabh Bakdhami movies from Bollywood. I feel that it was too much.

It's character exposition was a bit unique because Cyrano was introduced in suspense. He is not expected to challenge a performer who has been there for over ten years. His swordsmanship is another thumbs-up for the character.

Being a top notch Hollywood movie, it's shots, camera angles and lighting are all perfect.

Produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, the movie runs for two hours and four minutes. It was directed by Joe Wright and the screenplay was written by Erica Schmidt.

It was based on the stage musical adapted and directed by Erica Schmidt, from “Cyrano de Bergerac” by Edmond Rostand, with music by Aaron & Bryce Dessner and lyrics by Matt Berninger & Carin Besser.
