Chicago is satirizing the social mechanism, the entertainment industry, and the ubiquitous ugly faces of human beings. The singing and dancing are brilliant, as if the dancing limbs are exaggerated sarcasm. And this Jazz Spring and Autumn, which had a huge impact on Chicago, is more focused on personal painful experience, that is, the fear of death. Symbols tend to be obscure and often personal, but if you sing it out, or jump out, as in this movie, it's simply witty and profound. A short and splendid life, desperate for nothing.
