comment
Childhood Friend Romance: Cyrano has known Roxanne since she was a girl. He spends most of the film being unable to profess his feelings, considering himself unworthy of her. By the time she's able to tell him that she's felt the same way all along, he dies.

Adaptational Villainy
 Cyrano / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: To be fair, de Guiche was always the villain in the story of Cyrano de Bergerac. While the musical's stage version did have him attempt to make amends, this movie adaptation drops the acts of redemption he performs in the later part of Rostand's play, when he stays with the Cadets in their suicidal attack, and when he attempts to warn Cyrano that he is being targeted for murder. (For what it's worth, film de Guiche does seem to regret ordering the Cadets into the worst danger, saying with apparent sincerity that the choice was made "for my King, and not my spite.")

Not Even Bothering with the Accent
 Cyrano / int_43b154c9
comment
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Despite the story taking place in France, the (largely British and American) cast use their own accents. Justified as it's presumed they're speaking in native French and therefore wouldn't have accents of French speaking English.

Downer Ending: Christian dies in the war, leaving Roxanne devastated and Cyrano both crushed and unable to confess the truth to Roxanne, as Christian implored. When he finally manages it, he's on death's door and dies in Roxanne's arms.

 Cyrano / int_60547993
comment
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Cyrano sees that Christian makes Roxanne genuinely happy, and since he believes that he himself is an inappropriate suitor to her, he agrees to help Christian and never undermines or sabotages him.

Establishing Character Moment: Cyrano is introduced by sweeping into a theater, embarrassing the actor on stage for his poor performance, and then getting into (and winning) a sword fight against someone who insults his honor.

 Cyrano / int_aa96059e

Disabled in the Adaptation: In the original play, Cyrano is of a normal height and is only tormented by the fact that he has a big nose. Here, he has dwarfism instead (his nose is normal), and his lifelong angst is changed to one born out of said condition.

Setting Update

comment
Setting Update: Though the original play and most adaptations tend to take place in the middle of the 17th Century (when the real-life Cyrano de Bergerac lived), this version's costumes suggest that it takes place roughly one hundred years later.

Love Triangle: Cyrano is in love with Roxanne, who loves him back, but is completely unaware of his feelings; as a result, she ends up falling in love with Christian, who accepts Cyrano's help without knowing of his love for Roxanne.

comment
Race Lift: Christian is usually white (assumed to be since he's a 17th century French nobleman) and this was the case in all previous adaptations. Here, he's played by Black actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. Le Bret and Sister Claire, who also would usually be assumed to be white, are played by actors of color as well (Bashir Salahuddin and Anjana Vasan, respectively).
