"You're a fake celebrity You're just a flash in the pan and in a few weeks no one's going to talk to you anymore This is Chicago"

Musical films naturally have a lot of singing and dancing scenes, but compared to some movies, the way they are handled is poor. The song and dance clips of this film perfectly fit the content of the story. There is a classic song and dance of women in prison. They dance and tell the reason for their imprisonment. Lighting costumes or action designs are very gorgeous and wonderful

The stage action is synchronized with the real action. The reality of the woman on the gallows intersects with the stage. The woman dies. The audience applauds seamlessly. The ironic lyrics are compared with reality. turned into a marionette

Roxie yearns for a life of lavish goldsmiths. She thought she was going to be famous, but in Chicago, celebrities are always forgotten. The most attractive thing is always the new one. Velma always seems to be indifferent to things, but she and Roxie also need attention

Personally, I like the lawyer defending in court with the gradual strengthening of the tap dance. The defense also reached a climax. The rhythm is just right.

Chicago quotes

  • Velma Kelly: Oh, you're gonna see your sheba do the shimmy-shake... And all that jazz. Oh, she's gonna shimmy till her garters break... And all that jazz. Show her where to park her girdle. Oh, her mother's blood'll curdle if she'd hear her baby's queer for All that jazz...

  • Roxie Hart: [singing] Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes we both, oh yes we both, oh yes we both reached for the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun. Oh, yes, we both reached for the gun, for the gun.
