3.8 People are focusing on this as the real sound film in the history of world cinema. Because it is the first film, it has contributed to the discussion of sound, so it is popular with audiences. In my opinion, in addition to being a sign of this movie, its plot content is also worth exploring. The idea of "father to inherit the child's business" exists all over the world. The son’s rebellion is also a "globalization issue", the plot itself is very common, the choice of "dream" and "family". This film can easily become a sound film, because it involves a lot of singing content; but this film is not all dialogue, but when singing, the voice and dialogue appear. Father wanted Jack to inherit the position of lead singer of the choir, but Jack liked jazz. Jazz music was created by black slaves to please white people. Therefore, his father opposed this, thinking that Jack had betrayed God. When Jack performed on stage, he also painted his face black, pretending to be black. (This is what I learned afterwards. There may be a mistake?) Most of the actors in Hollywood at that time had acted in theaters. Therefore, the "stage-oriented" performance style-exaggerated body language and expressions, appeared in the film, so there was a little bit Unnatural, I don't want to follow the natural and delicate acting style like the actors in the Soviet movie I saw yesterday. But on the whole, it is good, the lens language is also very smooth, and the meaning that can be expressed is basically expressed. Although there are not many photography skills, the narrative is still OK.
