A small encyclopedia of the swinging jazz age, the explosion of the twilight star

Heard some negative reviews before watching it.
After watching it, I still like it. In recent years, there have been few musicals of this level.
Sufficient production funds and responsible creative staff ensure that the scenes are in the fandom. The bridge section of the stage performance can be regarded as a small encyclopedia of the swing jazz era and the theater performance of the same period. Even the actor's gestures and hair tips are very precise.
In addition to the vigor of the shot scheduling and the attention to detail, this film used the actors to the extreme in some aspects, or gave them a new look. Maybe we won't regard this film as a treasure, but I think some of the main creators will remember their appearance this time: if you don't sing this time, you don't know you can sing, and if you don't dance this time, you don't know you can Jump. This time I jumped, and I couldn't move again.

    In the flashy world of flowers, everyone has a dream of becoming famous. It is just good to express the emotions of the characters and the development and climax of the plot through the musical. The film is full of satires on the society at that time and attacks on that person who likes the new and hates the old.

    Make a lot of use of the stage. Zeta is more beautiful. A standard portrait of America in musical form: self-irony does not prevent it from singling and dancing.

Chicago quotes

  • Velma Kelly: Oh, you're gonna see your sheba do the shimmy-shake... And all that jazz. Oh, she's gonna shimmy till her garters break... And all that jazz. Show her where to park her girdle. Oh, her mother's blood'll curdle if she'd hear her baby's queer for All that jazz...

  • Roxie Hart: [singing] Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes we both, oh yes we both, oh yes we both reached for the gun, the gun, the gun, the gun. Oh, yes, we both reached for the gun, for the gun.
