Yeah, he sang Walk Hard
This is how you make a great musical into a great movie. 🙂
Tom waits. Chicago. 😊
Ooh you are going down a rabbit hole. The late Bob Fosse was behind the choreography. You need to check out Cabaret, Sweet Charity. You need to also see All That Jazz with Roy Schieder playing Bob.
I didn't know if you recognized Dominic West from The Wire as Renee Zellweger's boyfriend.
The character who is married to Lipschitz is pop singer Mya.
This is one of the best stage musical to film adaptations we have ever received…
They don't give you subtitles because that is the point! She was found guilty because of her inability to communicate. We don't know what she is saying just like her jury didn't know what she was saying. She was actually the only one truly not guilty if you do get to read that she said. Someone else killed her husband. But she didn't speak English to tell her story. It's actually a brilliant part of the story telling.
I performed “i can’t do it alone” for a pageant and whew it’s taxing
For musicals to watch:
Dreamgirls
Funny Girl
Brandy’s Cinderella
Sparkle
The Wiz
Annie
Hairspray
Rent
Well, that's Chicago…the only one that got hung was the innocent one.
You should have said, “that’s Chicago baby” a few more times.
You should watch All That Jazz starring Roy Scheider who plays Bob Fosse the cocreater of the musical Chicago
Lala land wasn’t a fav
There was a 1942 non-musical movie based on the same story called Roxie Hart starring Ginger Rogers.
Please, sir. I want some more. My favorite musical is 1968's Oliver! based on Dicken's Oliver Twist.
In fact, there's a theory that it was not just about popping gum. The events take place during the Prohibition time, and gum was used to remove the alcohol smell. So he could've been a drunkard, and that means a much worse situation…
This is a particularly rare movie because it very much honors the style and feel of the stage musical, yet is so completely different. The stage musical is just a straight-up vaudeville show with some HILARIOUS moments that didn't make it into the movie, but the decadence of the show is really dripping in every frame of the movie. Totally different experiences, but both are near-perfect. A lot like the book and movie of Jurassic Park. Completely different, yet both are fantastic.
Please watch tick tick boom! With andrew Garfield
To think Catherine Zeta-Jones did all that dancing and singing while pregnant!
It's not ambiguous, it's quite clear the one woman who was hanged was actually the only one who was innocent.
PLEASE review Dreamgirls!!
I immediately said, “NO WAY” when I saw the thumbnail for Chicago and that you guys were reacting. I was so excited!!! I loved it so much ❤
Maybe you can do Dreamgirls?
Hamilton is amazing but I think since it’s all music it would be tough to get around copyright? Not sure.
Dreamgirls?
Hairspray?
Grease?
Now do Rent and Repo
Please watch The Wiz (Diana Ross, Michael Jackson) and The Sound of Music!
CBT, ATJ, and Razzle Dazzle are my favs from this.
Hungarian translation: "What am I doing here? They say my famous lover held down my husband and I chopped his head off. But it's not true. I am innocent. I don't know why Uncle Sam says I did it. I tried to explain at the police station but they didn't understand."
Also, you'll notice she's the only one without a red scarf. That's referenced later when the guy waves a white handkerchief to signify Roxie's innocent verdict.
This is kind of a random review but I'm absolutely happy that you did, this is one of the few musicals I actually enjoy and glad to see you all did too. The music the cast everything was just so good with this.
The cruel irony of the Hungarian 😔
So glad y'all recognize that joker 2 is a shitty version of Chicago
This is one of those rare instances of telling an great entertaining story centering on such an unlikeable character.
Good call! Yes, Chita Rivera WAS the original Velma Kelly! She had a nice little cameo here.
I think they didn't translate the Hungarian woman's story is because we are seeing it through Roxy's eyes and she didn't understand what she said.
