As many film critics lamented, very few actors in a musical can move the audience sitting in the theater to a standing ovation when they sing in the film. Jennifer Hudson is that person. The girl who was eliminated in the finals of the first season of "American Idol" (the prototype of "Super Girl"), with penetrating singing and unusually relaxed acting like a movie veteran, smeared the film itself. She's pretty much the only bright spot and will also win her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress she never thought she would -- and her "old line" Grammy has yet to be nominated. This American dream is as legendary as the struggle of the three sisters described in the movie (for example, when will Zhou Bichang win the Golden Rooster Award? The Hundred Flowers Award will also work).
Another difference is that the main and supporting characters in this film are almost all "Amphibious" artists: Jamie Foxx won an Academy Award for "Ray" about the legendary blues musician, and Beyonce is a popular R&B singer. And when Jennifer Hudson sang "I'm telling you that I'm not going" that now-a-household solo, I couldn't help but get up from my seat and applaud; for the remaining hour of the film, after this solo , bleak.
