My favourite is how they recast Pitts male companion/lover as his cousin. I guess the Malaysian market couldn't handle the real story, so the film company did 'the right thing.' I bet if the same director made Romeo and Juliet, he'd have them living happily ever after!
Actually, they are cousins, according to the book. Petroclus, I believe his name is.
