This is the only non-winning film I've seen in recent months, but it gave me a lot of fun! It seems that the good and bad of a movie cannot be measured by awards at all. It's stupid to be superstitious about XX awards!
The film tells the story of a woman who pretends to be a man and then pretends to be a woman. In the 1930s in the United States, the heroine was a down-and-out female singer who couldn't get enough to eat; the supporting actor was a gay pub entertainer who was fired by the boss. The two met by chance in a restaurant, just at this time the heroine was going to eat the overlord meal, and the two became friends after the supporting actor helped the heroine escape. The next day, because the heroine's clothes could not be worn, she had to put on the supporting actor's boyfriend's clothes and beat up the supporting actor's boyfriend who came to find fault. This move gave the supporting actor an idea: let the heroine pretend to be a man and then play as a woman. Later, the two signed a contract with a performer. The heroine's performance was so successful that a rich and powerful man in the city fell in love with her. But the heroine is a man, which makes him very embarrassed. But the heroine also has a secret affection for the man, and told him the truth after several exchanges, so the two got together. At the same time, the former boss of the supporting actor knew that there was something wrong with the heroine, and hired a private detective to investigate her; at the same time, the man's old lover asked the hero's partner to withdraw funds. But in the end, these problems were solved one by one, and the two happily watched the supporting actor perform together.
It's a very good-looking, very funny, entertaining movie with very good songs, and it's a gay shout out. These make the film exactly two of my criteria for a good film: stimulating the senses and provoking thought. Why do you say that? Therefore, the movie has gorgeous pictures, beautiful songs, frequent laughs, and the actors' performances are particularly vivid and interesting. It is a masterpiece that you can't stop after seeing it. In addition, in addition to being funny and comical, this film also adds a description of homosexuality, which makes the film more meaningful, not as empty as an ordinary popcorn movie. Such a movie with depth, laughter, beautiful pictures and coincidental plots is hard to see in this modern age!
What impressed me most about this film was the many funny scenes and dialogues in the film. Such as the unfortunate encounter of a private investigator: from the moment he sits in the chair, everything goes wrong; there are farce in the restaurant, and the funny wait staff; another example, the strong gay bodyguard comes out, and so on. These all made me laugh out loud, I really haven't seen such a funny movie in a long time! It's still the traditional Hollywood movies that make people memorable. Now the movies have nothing but special effects.
Film shooting is more traditional, it is the standard Hollywood musical and comedy shooting mode, so I won't say more. However, the dance in this film is really beautiful. It not only combines perfectly with the music, but is also gorgeous and dazzling, especially the dance of the title song Le Jazz Hot!, which is beautiful and neat. Although Glee tries to copy the original version as much as possible, the version in this film is more perfect. In a word, this film not only reflects the singing and dancing style of the golden age of Hollywood, but also reflects the high level of Hollywood singing and dancing movies in the 1980s, which makes people miss it!
The actors in this film performed perfectly. Needless to say, actress Julie Andrews' performance is more perfect in both acting and singing than her in "The Sound of Music". Although the other actors James Garner, Robert Preston, Lesley Ann Warren and others in the film are not well-known, they also showed unforgettable acting skills. Why didn't they become popular? It seems that the Hollywood film industry is still not very fond of comedy movies.
in conclusion. Although this film has no awards and no reputation, it has brought me endless joy, and it is hundreds of millions of times better than some art films! Therefore, such a perfect film cannot be overestimated, but I can only say one word - beautiful - enough. Also, when will the film be released on Blu-ray?
