    Nearly 3 hours of biography, the structure is very simple, the protagonist's life narration flow in the motions. Mainly use the side of his works to reflect the producer's taste and luxurious atmosphere.

    Really, it's not a waste of life to be so addicted to dreaming. 1893-1932, 26 to 65 years old. Behind Follie's 30-minute swirl cake of dense dames, the prototype of the Victoria's Secret show was shocked. Women in the male gaze. Later, Robert Z.

    In 1937, the 9th Academy Award for Best Picture! The one-and-a-half-hour stage performance had the feel of the Spring Festival Gala. The film successfully combines musicals and biopics, and is an important masterpiece of the golden age of Hollywood musicals in the 1930s! The film is beautiful and can be called a demonstration of the perfect combination of Hollywood and Broadway.

    In a film centered on personal struggle, the complex character of the male protagonist (friends of women, rebellion against family, extravagance) is presented in impressionistic segments, with a very primary and secondary arrangement, and the overall tone is joyful and peaceful.

    Jack and Siegfried are good friends and love and kill each other throughout the film. In the first 1 hour, the slots were dense: the little girl sat on the male protagonist's thigh for 20 minutes and shouted to marry him; the first wife exclaimed "perform for those Indian barbarians"; Jim Crow's tropical makeup and styling were hot. The 1h19min revolving stage is the most extravagant set I have ever seen. mgm has never invested in such a large-scale singing and dancing set since...
