a nice song and dance

"Chicago" is a film about a woman who was imprisoned for a crime and hired a lawyer. The lawyer started wrapping her up, changing her life, taking her to interviews with reporters, fabricating the truth of the case, and auctioning off her private Items, manipulated her public opinion, made the murderer become a popular celebrity in the newspapers, and she also became self-righteous. In the end, under the attention of the whole city, she was acquitted and released under the defense of the barrister's tongue-in-cheek defense. But this moment was her last shining moment. When her story came to an end, Chicago set her sights on a new murderer. It's not people who are sought after by everyone, but the new hot spots one by one. The music in this movie is very nice, after all, it is based on the long-lasting "Chicago" musical. The singing level of the actors is not as good as that of professional musical actors, but they are also remarkable (there are more criticisms of the male protagonist). I think editing is more attractive to me. It skillfully combines reality and stage performance, and the stage is an artistic presentation of reality. The contrast between the two is full of fun. For example, a lawyer manipulates public opinion and designs a stage where the heroine and the reporter are his puppets, and the truth of the murder becomes excusable after he beautifies it. There is also a scene that left a deep impression on me. The only female criminal who was hanged in the whole play was the only innocent person. The stage corresponding to her death was to perform magic tricks for the audience to change the living. When she stepped onto the gallows, she also stepped onto the high stage. , When she was executed, she jumped off the high platform on the stage, and the audience shouted "too wonderful", because she was gone on the stage and she was gone in reality. There's actually a lot to talk about in this movie, such as the actress's body. Wow, so beautiful, skinny but not chai, very toned. Not to say too much. The movie is good and worth watching.
