"Since this is the opening of a biographical musical, how differently do you feel this film would be if it opened with the Fourth of July Parade scene in Providence, Rhode Island vs. the opening with FDR in the Oval Office? Defend your answer.  \n\tI  think the opening with the dialogue makes the movie slow. It drags out the main story. With the two men slowly walking up the stairs and then FDR and Cohen talking niceties, just get to the point. And maybe it's just me but the voice for FDR was off putting, it seemed to loud and very recorded. With opening the movie with the parade and Cohen's voice over I believe audiences would've understood that it was a biography. \"it started in Providence, Rhode Island on the Fourth of July. There weren't that many stars on the flag then.\" Bam first opening line, audience understands when and where.It also helps wake up the audience rather than putting them to sleep.\n "
