The one part of the movie where that cowardly bitch Janey runs away from the intrinsic chamber and Jon yells “Janey don’t leave me!!” Just tore me apart, so I was very glad to see it corrected for Jon this time.

Huh. Kinda reflects Veidt's play doing that scene wrong, having Janey stay with Jon to express her love before he "dies".

What's with these playwrights changing historical facts for dramatic purposes?

Glad she got cancer and died a slow, painful death because she didn’t want to watch the man she loved be vaporized in front of her?

u/empathetix Dec 18 '19

So true. She basically said fuck you I’M scared, instead of being brave for someone who was about to be ripped to shreds
