Wonderful, classic musical movie

The film is adapted from the Broadway play of the same name, with almost exactly the same lines as the musical, and even the stage moves are exactly the same. Although in the mode of the film, the characteristics of the stage play are still very obvious. The songs in this show are really good, and through these songs you can get a taste of what Soul is. The only difference between the musical version I've seen and this one is that the famous "Listen" was sung by Effie, while the movie was sung by Deena. Effie is actually the absolute protagonist, but Beyonce is too big in this film, so the role is added as the protagonist. Effie played by Jennifer Hudson sings "And I Tell You I'm Not Going" which is touching and makes people feel her pain Heart-to-heart. If you have little hope of winning the Oscars as a leading actress, it is better to have more confidence as a supporting role, and the result has indeed come true. Deena played by Beyonce is okay, but it is said that Deena's prototype, Diana Ross, hates this film. She has always hated Dreamgirlsms on Broadway, and tried her best to influence the evaluation of the film by the American judges. Anyway, on the whole, I think it is a very good musical film. Maybe I was influenced by the musical I watched first, but it is undeniable that the music and singing of this film are very exciting.
