Compared with "Dog Town" and "La La Land", the stage play movie can barely be watched. The first 90 minutes are like sitting on pins and needles, and it's boring to death. How should I put it, this movie "Singing in the Rain" is much more boring and more interesting than the first two.
The movie uses a lot of parallel montages.
For example, in the puppet scene, the movie and the stage play are perfectly integrated. The puppets make movements on the stage, just like the "stars" in front of the camera and the microphone, they are shaping the "truth" that everyone likes. Entrusted with everyone's yearning for a better life, no one cares about the truth itself, but the joy caused by the truth, which is eating away people's insistence on justice and fairness, and blinding everything people see. This is a ridicule and a wake-up call to the social phenomenon of entertainment to death, and it is definitely the biggest highlight of the film.
Another point is that the first woman to be executed in the county is also a parallel montage. However, in reality, only cold bullets are waiting for her. There was also a moaning crowd of onlookers.
Comprehension:
The upper-class society, intoxicated with money, attracts countless men and women to pursue the "Chicago Dream". Even if they know that stars and big names rely on countless lies to establish their character, they also know that "Shuangzi" and "Dabuliu" are far away from themselves, and they are still willing to "moth to the flame" and give their lives to try. Compared to mediocrity, what is life worth?
The film finally gave the answer, the lie was revealed, the so-called dream is just a fantasy, fame and fortune, family and love have nothing. Living alone for the rest of your life, a mediocre life is about to become the norm for the rest of your life.
