I've always been wrong with musicals, and it's not that I don't like it, or that I lack enthusiasm. Maybe it stems from my natural short-legged reverence for dance, which leads to keeping my distance from it!
My favorite musicals in my impression are probably "Singing in the Rain" and "Mamma Mia". I don't remember "Breakdance" clearly, but they are musicals, but Indian movies are not counted anyway, because each movie It's all musical.
This film is said to be adapted from a relatively well-known stage play. Anyway, I haven't heard of it. I don't know if it will be released in domestic theaters, but I know that before it was released, netizens and audiences had a very high evaluation of this film. , but for the netizens who watched it at 2x speed, it was not so cold!
This film is about a group of immigrants from all over the "Washington Heights", probably mainly Latinos, and some small countries like Cuba, Dominica, Spain and Puerto Rico, which I don't know very well. Although these people have the American dream, they are all living hard in this "Washington Heights", which is almost a slum. Even a boss who has been running a taxi dispatch company for many years has to sell the company to pay for his daughter in the film. Two tuition fees! Let’s compare it this way. There was a lottery ticket of 96,000 dollars in the block, which made all the residents of the community excited. It was only more than 600,000 yuan. Only today in Lu’an, someone won the 10.42 million grand prize. Wanbi is simply an astronomical figure!
The male protagonist is a second-generation immigrant from Puerto Rico. His parents came to the United States and laid the foundation for him. He is just a grocery store that also sells coffee and breakfast, but he dreams of going back to the beach in his hometown and opening a shop. bar. Originally, my affection for this movie all came from the male protagonist's pursuit of his dreams. I didn't know until the end of the film that the so-called male protagonist sitting at the beach bar and telling stories to his daughter and other children was actually in his own small grocery store. Fantasy! Until the end, the male protagonist actually changed his mind when he got on the plane and still stayed in the slums. The apparent reason seems to be due to the retention of the female protagonist. Following her origin, she still praised the United States. The slums in the United States are better than your beaches in Puerto Rico!
It is worth mentioning that the director is Chinese-American, and it makes sense to find out the details of a Chinese element in it. However, the Chinese who can make such a movie are probably just a Chinese face, and the essence of China is already in his bones. Brainwashed clean!
As for the actors, apart from the attractive beauties in the film and the hot dances, I also don't judge the acting very well. After all, musicals are performed through songs and dances. I am a layman in this regard! The male protagonist looks familiar enough, even the little freckles on his face make me commit intensive syndrome!
If I recommend it, there are always passing points, maybe more points should be given to the audience who like singing and dancing!
