    Best Picture Oscar in 1937. Throughout the whole film, the protagonist was too smooth until the old age and the stock went bankrupt. The story is very straightforward, and there is no feeling of ups and downs. Therefore, it is difficult to give the audience the impression of ups and downs in terms of look and feel, and it can't make the audience's appetite. , In addition, the proportion of singing and dancing is too much. I personally feel that in some places, it is enough to just pass by in a...

    A musical with a completely separate plot and performance, very Warner in the 1930s. The first half of the heroine's (silent film style?) blink is not suitable, even a sensitive French girl is overdone, and the second half does not have this problem. Never found out that Fanny Brice was so similar to Barbra Streisand. The team has a lot of connections with The Wizard of...

    As an early biopic, there is still a lot of room for exploration; a large part of the space is used to show the dramatic works created by the protagonists, and I have to say that their works are indeed very shocking; so in terms of lens design and editing, it is like taking my The head pressed to the TV station's director station and rubbed. In addition, from a certain point of view, in some of the scenes at the beginning of the film, the portrayal of the characters, whether Siegfried or other...

    2.5. It's considered a bad movie by the name, but it's actually a very good biopic. The perfect combination of stage play and film, the history of the rise and fall of a drama tycoon, show the life of a drunkard in the entertainment industry in the rise and fall of singing and dancing, and perfectly interpret money worship in the alternation of spring and winter in career. The dream of the king of singing and dancing never ends, and as the stage rises, it escapes into a peaceful long...

    A few musicals are really good, but overall it's really lackluster. Louis Reiner's performance is okay...
