Chicago can also be now. Fresh stories are always happening. There are always countless people attracted by freshness, flocking to them, stretched their arms to climb and chase, and then suddenly attracted by another freshness, let go of them and turn their heads away.

Chicago (2002)
8.9
2002 / USA Germany / Comedy Musical Crime / Rob Marshall / Taye Diggs Catherine Zeta-Jones

There is no official film version, so I watched the film version. After the film version broke through the stage space, the performance of the drama became dazzling. The dance in the prison tango and the camera cooperated very well, and there was the lawyer's tap dance during the trial. Internal and external psychology The performance with time and space is also very interesting. Because it becomes a song and dance film as a carrier, it will inevitably lose the unique temperament and charm of the stage. Those visible transitions and spatial transformations are all cut into smooth pictures by the camera. After you are familiar with the lyrics, watch the stage version hhh

Personally, I'm not very impressed by Chicago, the dance is not as glamorous as 42nd Street, and the music is full of Jazz but no Jazz, it feels like... After adding the lyrics, the music actually becomes a narrative expression, like The form attached to the story is no longer independent and supports the narrative, but it may also be the reason for the content of the story, with reservations hahaha.
