Let’s talk about the movie "Graduation Prom" today.
The title of The Prom (2020), also known as the Prom.
This film uses a high school prom in a small town in Indiana to stage a star-studded musical, telling a story of equal rights that is politically correct.
The film began with a not very politically correct beginning. A group of Broadway veterans rehearsed a new play, but was criticized by the critics as impeccable, and their career plummeted. This group of veterans desperately needed to redeem their reputation and find hot spots all over the world, so they set their sights on an inconspicuous small town high school.
At the same time, the high school in the small town of Indiana became a hot search for a high school prom. Emma Nolan is a high school girl who came out publicly. She also wanted to participate in the prom. Despite the support of the principal, the parent committee strongly opposed it and even stopped the prom.
The veterans came to support Emma, trying to win a wave of eyeballs and save the reputation that had fallen to the bottom. Emma, who is isolated and helpless, is also in trouble and needs some comfort and help.
In this way, veterans, LGBT groups, and homophobics sang and danced in the town, and there were many collisions of values.
In the conservative state of Indiana, the LGBT community has had a particularly hard time.
Similarly, the old actors who have fallen into a trough in their careers are also struggling to find friends.
Homosexuality, heterosexuality, actors, audiences, love, career, their sufferings are all connected in essence, their lives are incomplete, and they are all looking for the other half who can make up for themselves.
Where can I find a friend in the end of the world? If you can find a partner who understands you, your life is perfect.
"Graduation Prom" as a musical, the highlight of the film is just a group of old drama bones.
Meryl Streep, the three-time Academy Award winner, has passed the age and is still able to sing and dance on the big screen without showing signs of fatigue. Regardless of the level of interpretation or professionalism, it is admirable.
Nicole Kidman, another Oscar-winning actress, is also over half a hundred years old, but she can still raise the banner of the film's appearance. As long as Nicole is on the stage, it looks like a long leg full of screens. And she brought a wave of feelings in the film, referring to the representative work of the year "Moulin Rouge". The new heroine of the film, Joe Allen Pell, performed quite well, not enough to watch before the powerful scene of Nicole Kidman.
Similarly, the shortcomings of the film are also in this regard.
The song and dance itself and the content of the story are not attractive. It is completely dependent on the personal charm of the old drama bones that allows people to watch it.
Compared with musicals such as "City of Philharmonic", "Les Miserables", "The King of Circus" and other musicals in previous years, the songs and dances of "Graduation Prom" seem to be mediocre. The LGBT group is overemphasized, and the arrangement and choreography seem to be mediocre. , The level of joy is also average.
The film won two nominations for Best Film in Music/Comedy and Best Actor in Music/Comedy (James Corden) at the 78th Golden Globe Awards. Both of these awards have the same strong competitors "Hamilton" and "Borat 2".
Compared with the classic Broadway drama "Hamilton" and "Borat 2", which emphasizes the social reflection of comedy effect, "The Prom" is not enough to watch. Lin Manuel Miranda's "Hamilton" and Sasha Byron Cohen's "Borat 2" are far more likely to win awards than this film.
The biggest bargaining chip of "Graduation Prom" is to hold high the banner of minority groups. These years, there is a little over-emphasis on political correctness, as if the majority has become a mouse crossing the street. However, many literary and art workers are from this group, and the works they produce are also speaking for themselves.
The most important thing about a hundred flowers blooming is that everyone can speak up. If just because speaking for a minority group is like mastering the winning code, it would be boring.
The cliché of political correctness,
Finding a friend knows how easy it is to do it.
