In view of the fact that musicals are beyond the scope of my cognition, the following text can be regarded as a dream. This is a very magical song and dance movie. After watching it for many days, the lyrics and dance are still in my head. Even if you are not interested in musicals (such as myself), you can enjoy this film. Because there is no segment of passers-by dancing in the film, most of the songs and dances exist in the form of an imaginary stage, and montage editing is made with the real narrative, and the content of the songs and dances has become a form of psychological description of the characters. expression. There are also a small number of songs and dances that exist in the form of a real stage as part of the story, because this is also a movie about the stage and actors. The story of the movie has not been weakened under the content of the song and dance with a strong sense of form. It places the entire male-dominated society on the opposite side of women, and exposes the absurdity, hypocrisy, greed, and betrayal in society. Women launched a counterattack in the form of singing and dancing, so the singing and dancing in them has a strong sense of power and is full of explosive power. In this way, singing and dancing also become part of the dramatic conflict. As for the singing and dancing itself, of course, it must be extremely excellent, after all, even a pure layman like me enjoys watching it. And, it's pretty tempting.
