The use of jazz is the highlight of "Chicago". The music in the play jumps in rhythm, the melody is lively, and it is full of temptation, contrary to the tendency of music to be operatic in Broadway musicals. The most famous passage in the play, "All That Jazz" ("Jazz Spring and Autumn"), is a classic passage that all jazz fans should not miss. In the 1900s, America's infatuated gold fans and the mess under the glitzy appearance showed a sharp edge of the ultimate entertainment spirit. "Chicago" is based on a true event that made a sensation in the 1920s: In 1926, a major murder in Chicago, the suspect was acquitted with the help of the lawyer's superb court skills, and he became a man of the day. Reporter Mulling Dallas Wakins made an in-depth investigation into the whole case and completed the news report well. Based on this, she created the play "Chicago", which made a huge sensation. This topic is not only an afterthought, but also an object of inquiry in the entertainment industry, judicial circles, and media, and it still has realistic critical significance to this day. Some time ago, the original characters from Chicago came to Chengdu to perform. Many people in the circle of friends watched it. They recommended it without exception. Chicago is so beautiful. So I had great expectations for it. In fact, I never knew Chicago before, and I didn't know what to say, but the name was too familiar. It just so happened that the teacher of the musical appreciation class showed us Chicago, so I watched it very seriously. When I got back to the dormitory, I told my roommate that the teacher let go of Chicago today. She's excited too, isn't she. I said, it's just the movie version. She's suddenly serious, and that's not Chicago, Chicago is theatrical. I said yes, because I didn't watch it live, I recorded the scene for us. She said, but the film version has cut scenes and audio-visual language. I was stunned, thought about it carefully, I understood, I know what you said, a camera was set up there, and then the whole process was recorded from one angle. She said yes, that's it. I said, this viewing effect is too bad, and there is noise. The picture quality is also very unclear, the movie version just simulates the human eye and highlights the key points. Just like the previous musical cat, the live version was produced and publicized to the world. A close-up of what cat comes out and what direction is given. That's when she replied, oh. screenplay in chicago , the logic, and the performance of the actors are all very good to me. In particular, when the lawyer grabbed the heroine's words and helped the heroine answer the reporters' questions, he switched back and forth between reality and the theater. The heroine wore a puppet make-up and was held in her arms by the lawyer, letting the lawyer swing. It was the light that opened his mouth, and the lawyer's voice uttered, in such a dramatic way, that the client's words were taught by the lawyer, or that the lawyer was the real manipulator. Therefore, there is no fair justice, so the jury system is not foolproof. Lawyers create topics to guide public opinion, and then indiscriminate or deceived people are used by public opinion to put pressure on the judiciary. So the murderer was acquitted. And the media is a group of marionettes, who ask the same thing, are guided and manipulated by people. The United States, the United States is a federal republic with a constitutional system, so the judiciary that seems serious and fair is actually more humane than China, and it is easier to be influenced by public opinion and emotions. Of course, as an internationally renowned drama, Chicago presents more than just one truth, and the thinking it gives is not very simple. It is multi-faceted. For example, the whole play is deeply portrayed in terms of the lyrics and choreography of the society's impetuousness and the pursuit of fame and fortune, and it is full of wisdom and black humor. For example, the first chorus of the whole play "Cell Block" Tango", the lyrics repeatedly sing "I didn't kill, but even if I did, how can you say it's my fault." Six female prisoners, each one sang their own case replay, their crime target , either a boyfriend or a husband, but every crime seems to have something worthy of sympathy, full of humor and worth remembering. Perhaps, people don't care what the truth is, just whether the story is good enough. For example, at the beginning, the Wilma nightclub dancer was not well-known. He was imprisoned for shooting her cheating husband in a rage. After lawyer Billy accepted the case, Velma became a celebrity and the darling of public opinion. But Roxie came, she killed her lover who betrayed her, and became a "victim" after being "wrapped" by Billy and became famous. The media began to abandon Velma to pursue Roxie again, and then the lady appeared and killed her cheating boyfriend, so the media scrambled to chase after the more famous celebrity, leaving Velma and Roxie behind. So, I don't know who took advantage of whom, just get what they need, this world is a farce. When I watched the whole drama, I was very angry. I said to my roommate, is Chicago a feminist? No, she said, it was to expose the injustice of justice. However, the men portrayed in the play are almost all scumbags, all of whom have been derailed, and the women are forced to kill them. But even if the heroine is innocent, she has cheated. She has a husband who is honest and honest and has nothing to say to her. Even if she is deceived, doesn't she still have sex with another man? Shouldn't she be condemned? She lied to her husband, and her husband wanted to take the blame for her. After knowing the truth, he even pooled money to help her hire a lawyer, help her build her image, and help her lie. However, she actually lied to him that she was pregnant, and he was very moved to give her false testimony. As a result, after she was released, she said viciously that she lied to him and that she was not pregnant. He wanted to take her home, she refused, she broke her heart. How can such a woman represent women's independence and self-improvement, I don't understand.
