For a post-modern song and dance film adapted from a song and dance drama, cheerful song and dance performances are used to interpret the indifference and helplessness of living in the urban forest, which is obviously more suitable for modern people to look back and immerse themselves in the more nostalgic feelings to express their feelings. Although a lot of large-scale dances can be used to set off the atmosphere of the movie, it has become an excellent work that reflects social reality, expresses social indifference and evokes human conscience. When we watch this movie, the entertainment effect is not limited to the appreciation of the singing and dancing in the movie. The plot and connotation of the story itself are also closely linked to the social reality, which shows the film creators' precision and rightness of the plot. Familiarity with social reality, otherwise it is impossible to integrate a deep human emotion into the whole movie, and compared with the original stage play, the movie has a considerable change in the character plot, although it has been reduced. The gap in the drama conflicts of many plots has deepened the emotional warmth of the film, thus showing people the fact that everyone is actually kind. Human nature itself is kind, but the laws of social survival make people more and more cold-blooded. The movie uses the protagonists’ songs to express people’s dissatisfaction with the social reality, and also expresses that they have been kind and good. How arrogant nature degenerates into a process of selfishness and coldness, we cannot criticize every selfishness and coldness of the characters in the movie, because we ourselves have not done the same thing as the characters in the movie, but there is too much in this world. There is so much unfairness that we have forgotten the original nature of having dreams of being full of sunshine in our hearts.

The story of the movie is mainly focused on a rather dramatic collision. As the two most extreme classes in society, there is no possibility of connection, but they have established a connection in a false show, as an adult. As far as the audience is concerned, the plot of the movie can be said to be a little deliberate to greet the audience. After all, it is impossible for a cold-blooded businessman to be moved by the slightest touch. The movie reflects the plot itself, in fact, it reflects all kinds of false ugliness in adult society. The movie also expresses all kinds of ugliness in society through the mouth of Cameron Diaz, just to cater to the movie as a happy ending. The warmth and connotation of a kind of humanity change is greeted, but the reality reflected in the story is unforgettable. Maybe we have really been struggling in society for a long time, so that we can't help but feel sad for ourselves when we see this movie. Why isn't our life like Cameron Diaz in the movie, full of dreams but only Can suffocate oneself in a material society. Only when there is pressure, there will be changes. The children of the poor take care of their families early. Compared with other children of the same age, the girls who grow up in the orphanage know better how to cooperate with others in exchange for the value they may get. Girls cooperate with adults’ performances, so it’s not a pity that they are deprived of their lives. They should enjoy the age of growing up happily in their own age group, but they entered the adult society early, and they entered the adult society early and were surrounded by falsehoods and lies. The indifference of humanity has to be said to be a kind of human torture. The theme of the movie is always to awaken people’s already frozen feelings, but what we see from Annie is not another kind of human torture, her experience and her The experience of the whole person since childhood has established that she cannot grow up in a free and happy world like other children. However, the film’s use of the form of singing and dancing performances is quite different. General singing and dancing movies use accompanying songs and dancing as the language of the film, but this movie uses singing and dancing as a way of emotional expression, which is different from ordinary singing and dancing movies. Naturally, singing and dancing in the movie has become a kind of performance, making the singing and dancing nature of the movie full of post-modern style.

As for the performance of the characters in the movie, the performance of the positive characters is far less impressive than the performance of the negative characters, although the actors Jamie Fox and Cameron Diaz have shown that they can sing and dance. His talent, but his interpretation of the positive role is still slightly pale. It is because of the performance of a character like Cameron Diaz who is both righteous and evil, it seems to be a little exaggerated to transform a character without tension and explosive power, and the slightly artificial body expressions even cover her. The fullness and performance of the role put this character, which was originally very realistic, into an embarrassing situation of both joy and worry. For Jamie Fox, the role of the domineering president is really not a role that this black actor can interpret. His performance in the movie is more like a compassionate old man, the kind of cut-in that makes the role change. Sense, dragged down the character's play in the plot, making the story less exciting. But fortunately, the black girl Anne’s performance in the movie was pleasantly surprised. The emotions she drove in the movie were very appropriately expressed in each storyline. Because of the grasp of the camera, it was not inferior to the performance of adult actors.

As an adaptation of the post-modern version, the film has lost many gorgeous and complicated singing and dancing links, and added many human-warm character adaptations, and the plot is also full of a lot of ridicule plots, whether it is a mockery of Apple’s mobile phones, It is still a mockery of the leaked information on political shows, which really reflects the gloom of the current society. But having said that, as a musical, the movie failed. Although every actor in the movie worked hard to sing and dance, the director’s setting of the song and dance was in a position that was not valued, and there was no real. Correct understanding of musicals has become an important reason why movies are not memorized by people.
