I always thought that entertainment was the mainstream attribute of musicals, until this film appeared in sight.
He should be considered a lover of music films. He has tasted the fresh and delicious flavors of "The Sound of Music", "Song in the Rain", "Everyone Says I Love You", and challenged "West Side". Story" and "The Phantom of the Opera" are dark and spicy. As for "Chicago", "Moulin Rouge" and "If Love", they are also high-level masterpieces with a compromise in taste. Although the plots and grooves are different, the above works are full of a warm optimism (not the ending, but the trust in human nature), and have a good atmosphere of entertainment first, even if it is a plot like a lovelorn or unemployment There is always a hint of laziness or sexiness, and no matter how bad the status quo, there will always be a hint of values.
It is not difficult to imagine that the birth of this type of film is to save the common people from the misery of the world, to please the mood, to satisfy the fantasy, and to allow the audience to take a moment from the hard reality. Until this hateful "Karaoke Hall" appears and pulls you back to reality harshly, from this moment onwards, musical films will no longer be an escapist genre film, but where is the musical film we expect and need?
Besides, from the point of view of a musical film, the music of the film is not so pleasant, and the main characters are not so beautiful and handsome. Fortunately, the dance is definitely a high-level pioneer work, and the plot is definitely a great work that shocks the world.
As soon as you sit down, the film will take you to Germany in the early 1930s, with a decaying society and noisy karaoke halls, a glimpse of the triangular relationship between heterosexuality and bisexuality, the love entanglement between Christians and Jews, and the Nazis and the Communist Party. The slaughter competition, witness the destruction of good and the rise of evil. Accompanied by joy, decadence, beauty, and despair, you will find that in the cry of entertainment to death, social change will be completed quietly, and the things you don't care about seem to be thinking about you all the time. You will realize that fate is not in your hands, but rises and falls in the turbulent waves of the great times.
The intense realism makes the film too serious, almost unentertaining, and even hard to move you. If you are fortunate enough not to fall asleep, I believe you will get a desperate and profound movie viewing experience, and before this, you never dreamed that this is only a music movie can bring.
Finally, I would like to thank the friends who accompanied the viewing, you brought a ray of freshness to the viewing process of the film.
