02 "Broadway Melody" Bond Erdong
led the trend of musicals at that time, (nowadays Bollywood movie routines) led the development of sound films. Perhaps the reason for winning the award is that this film was the forerunner at the time. As in today's era, there will be good opportunities to be the first mover.
From silent film to sound, from mono to stereo, from traditional craftsmanship to the emergence of audio workstations, each major technological revolution brings us new artistic feelings, often accompanied by newer art forms. As it is today, 3D to IMAX gives us a better viewing experience.
Technological changes:
In the use of "movie language", the film uses the "audio-visual counterpoint" for the first time (Hank heard the sound of cars driving on the street indoors, knowing that Queenie had followed Jack leaves, so the close-up of his face reveals sorrow, and immediately decides to use the aggressive method on Eddie, asking him to go and chase Queenie back immediately)

    The singing and dancing are very general, and it looks awkward for technical reasons. But the stage is very exquisite, and the sisters are very beautiful. It seems that not all men are suitable for a top hat, a white tie and tails...

    The proportion of song and dance is actually not that big. The level of arrangement and performance can only be said to be quite average. The language of the stage scenes is also relatively simple and rigid. As far as the positioning of an early large-scale sound song and dance film is concerned, regardless of the stage level or the audiovisual level, The 29th edition of "Broadway Melody" is a bit primitive, and I feel that Oscar was a bit anxious to help the sound film. However, although the movie is now relatively ordinary in all aspects, the tune "Broadway Melody" has become a classic, almost the name of a song and dance film. Later, when MGM made "Song in the Rain", it was positioned to be a golden age musical tour. The planning stage was to set the song first and then arrange the plot. At the risk of being criticized, it must be "Broadway Melody". The climax of the whole film also shows the status of this song.

The Broadway Melody quotes

  • Uncle Jed: [Last lines] It's better to star in P-P-Pe-or, P-P-Pe - or, Osh Kosh than st-starve on Broadway.

    Moe: That's a bunk!

    Hank Mahoney: Now, you listen to me, Stupid, I'll handle things. Yes, and I'll have you back on Broadway and in The Palace! In less than six months.

    Moe: No foolin'?

    Hank Mahoney: Why, it's cream in the can, baby.

    Uncle Jed: Su-Su-Sure it is. Cre-Cre-Cre. It's, it's in the can!
