Hormones and artistic creativity; jazz and dance theatre

It's about Joe, a choreographer full of hormones and artistic creativity. Half of his life is art, half a woman, but he also has real love objects (daughter, ex-wife, girlfriend). An artist, and a womenizer.

As a person full of hormones, he has been romantic all his life, and the goddess of death who was the subject of his monologue before his death turned out to be a tulle goddess-finally, this woman is no longer as easy to get as so many women who have experienced it, and after all, she is a little colder, but still sexy ——But in the end, he was "obtained" by him. The symbolic meaning of death is clear from beginning to end.

As a person with artistic investment and artistic creativity, the second half of the film is almost a struggle before death, but there are various jazz shows staged by Joe's dear ones and people he meets before dying. Inspiration bursts, and various scenes emerge. In addition, before his death, when he was supported by medicine every day, he told the mirror "Showtime" every day, full of his show business, and refused to be mediocre and repeated.

When it comes to film production, because it revolves around director, choreographer and editor Joe, it is natural to not fall behind in editing, arranging, and choreography - the editing and music are really dazzling. Among them, there is a film that Joe just directed and finished. It is a personal talk show. It talks about the five stages of death. It appears in the first half of the film and shows part of Joe's work, and then it naturally becomes a self-confession. Well set and well cut. In the end, saying goodbye to life becomes a dance carnival.

The richness of the film's choreography is inseparable from the free play of Jazz's musical nature - under the various possibilities of Jazz, the diversity of choreography is also maximized.

God! This is a movie from the 1970s! ! !

Flickering clip, early foreshadowing of death

Beautiful lighting and scenery, the same below

Thought they didn't kill Joe for profit

    A song and dance director's echo of his past life when he was dying. The song and dance in the film has become his fantasy and sustenance, and the fantasy scenes in the second half are about to fly. The overlapping of fantasy and reality, the opposition between debauchery and death, the ending was handled very coldly, and the previous song and dance became a ruthless irony in an instant.

    It wasn't until the Beijing Film Festival that I took a fancy to it, and I liked "La La Land" by more than an order of magnitude. With the unique dark tones and shaky urban temperament of the 1970s, the artistic life is also between the two-hour alternation of reality and reality, the overlapping of dreams, and the chaos of love. . While sorting out the business experience of the stage play, farewells to actors, wives and daughters, and investors also present a tragic effect in the song.

All That Jazz quotes

  • [repeated line]

    Joe Gideon: Don't bullshit a bullshitter.

  • Davis Newman: There's a lady in Chicago, man, wrote a book - Dr Kübler-Ross, with a dash. This chick, man, without the benefit of dying herself, has broken down the process of dying into five stages: anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Sounds like a Jewish law firm. 'Good morning, Anger denial bargaining depression acceptance!'.
