Carousel/YMMV

"Louise Bigelow: But is it possible, Mother, for someone to hit you hard like that - real loud and hard, and it not hurt you at all?
 * Adaptation Displacement: After Carousel, Liliom's now a footnote.
 * Ear Worm: The Carousel Waltz.
 * Family Unfriendly Aesop: Because of Values Dissonance, some modern audiences might find this an endorsement of Domestic Abuse (see page quote).
 * Unfortunate Implications: The musical seems to some people like an endorsement of Domestic Abuse.

Julie Jordan: It is possible dear, for someone to hit you, hit you hard, and it not hurt at all."


 * Values Dissonance: The general theme of the story is supposed to be "Love your man, despite his faults." But it comes off as "If your deadbeat husband beats you and has no respect for you, it just means he loves you." The fact that the song telling this moral has been made into a chilling remix describing battered wife syndrome without changing a single thing about the song really says something.
