Films

The Marriage of Figaro has been filmed as opera several times.

gollark: You are missing what I am saying.
gollark: Not significantly.
gollark: The individual data points do not have much effect. The aggregate does, but *I cannot change that*.
gollark: I mean, if it would be 1 good if everyone did X, but 0.000001 good if I did X, then the possibility of 1 good which I *can't cause* doesn't affect the goodness of me doing it, unless you expect that I can cause that, which is probably wrong.
gollark: Which is correct, though?
