Made in Hollywood

In prison, Lockhey learned about the invincible "deeds" of the famous barrister Billy, so with all the flattery and the generous support of her husband, she grabbed Billy's support from Velma, and after Billy's Shaped and hyped by the media, Roxy is transformed from a hard-hearted slut into a sympathetic little sweetheart.

So the puppet double reed dance appeared, the press conference was designed as a puppet show, and the identities of lawyers and reporters were virtualized.

Press Conference Manipulators - Lawyer Billy is the manipulator of the puppets, the reporter and Roxy are the manipulated puppets, the lawyer's dance moves are dominant, while the reporter and Roxy's dance moves are passive, they are following The lawyer's action is the action.

At this time, lawyer Billy's cunning and strength, reporters' blind obedience and pursuit, and Lockhey's manipulation are all in front of the audience.

The puppet double reed dance is not unique to the movie, it exists in the original musical, but Gru can clearly feel that the movie is different from all the musicals he has seen, and it is more brilliant.

First of all, everyone's faces were painted so dull, the two people on the stage pretended to be smeared with thick oil paint, and I believe no one could see the blushing, which was very suitable for the occasion.

The second is the perfect fit between the light and shadow and the plot. The rose-red lights illuminate the stage warmly, and it is also lively and lovely. It is always a pleasure to appreciate such a mocking and funny scene in such a tone.

In this series of passages that Lockhey is famous for because of interviews, all the shots have been decolorized, giving people an effect of restoring the original appearance of reality, but this is so ridiculous and ironic in the face of real reality, Because these are obviously exchanged for lies, but they are restored to such a realistic picture, how should the line between the false and the real be defined?

Needless to say, this achromatic lens is more of a low-key break.

Roxy rose to fame, a celebrity in the sin capital of Chicago. Her hairstyle and the items she used were all fascinated by the media, and were welcomed by the public, and even bought by many people, and Billy, through a series of clever operations, got enough of what belonged to him. $5,000 attorney fees.

The footage looked very happy. But everyone can appreciate the black sarcasm in it.

What happens when a woman as vulgar, vicious, and ignorant as Roxy becomes famous? In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that she rejected Velma's request for cooperation, mocked her viciously, and then the film explained her mentality change with a song and dance.

First, in the prison and Roxy's house, flowers and letters from readers filled the small space. Roxy in a gorgeous dress lazily flipped through reports and news about her.

When the warden asked her about her plans after her release. She casually said, "I want to perform on stage."

Roxy then begins her narcissistic monologue.

First there is the seductive reflection of a woman, and the shiny floor reflects Roxy's obsession with his own appearance.

The camera moves up and freezes on Roxy's face as she begins to reminisce about her poignant past. But soon, the self-expansion and complacent state after Yikusitian was exposed. She twisted her body, and under her coquettish performance was an arrogant heart that could not be hidden.

During the filming, Duke deliberately increased the number of mirrors in the empty, black field one by one.

On the one hand, the mirror can be seen as a full exposition of Roxy's inner ecstasy. On the other hand, one side, two sides, and the reflection of many mirrors. In fact, it is a metaphor for the fact that Roxy's desires continue to expand, and her personality gradually splits into fragmented fragments.

Roxy also encounters challenges as she travels down the road of fantasy, when the daughter of a plantation upstart shoots her lover and goes to jail. Not only did the media reporters besiege each other, but even Billy gave up on her. The stupid Lockheed used the best method he could think of—pretend to be pregnant to attract the attention of Billy and the media, and then used his body to bribe the doctor to get her. false proof.

Seeing this, the audience laughed. Isn't such a sarcastic scene funny?

At the same time, they are still asking who is the woman who played the upstart? When she appeared on the stage, she was radiant and dazzling, easily grabbing all the attention, even Tom Cruise was eclipsed in front of her at that moment, this woman's aura was extremely powerful!

A new farce was staged, and Roxy's husband also came on stage to sing a solo. Although it was only a small supporting role, combined with the special scene setting, especially the monologue scene of this poor transparent man, the pure white frontal light was completely covered. With his face, a kind of loneliness and despair of being ignored and trampled on by his identity are more conspicuous along with his silhouette.

It also highlights the absurdity of the era reflected in the film from the side.

A funny idiot like Lockheed, when he continued to succeed and became more and more famous, naturally ignored everyone, not even the savior Billy. Fortunately, she was not hopelessly stupid, The only innocent Hungarian woman of the Beast Six was hanged and woke her up!

"This trial, the whole world... is actually just acting."

Lawyer Billy's words seemed to reveal the essence of Chicago at that time, and then Lockhey, who had sobered up, walked into the courtroom with him and began to accept the legal trial.

This is show time for Tom Cruise.

Frankly speaking, even if Duke watched this courtroom performance, he had to admit that Liang Tang was a very hardworking actor, despite his limited talent, and always subconsciously trying to take advantage of his own advantages - such as appearance - It is very easy to give people a feeling of weak acting skills and a single image.

But in the courtroom scene, Billy needs an exaggerated performance, which can cover up Tom Cruise's shortcomings, make full use of a lot of body movements, and disguise his habit of facial rigidity.

"Roxy, partnering with you is an acting superstar!"

Billy's lines may have exaggerated Tom Cruise's performance, but in Duke's view, he was much better than Richard Gere once was.

No matter his acting skills, singing and dancing, appeal, or his appeal, he completely blew that guy.

The courtroom drama is also interspersed with a large number of songs and dances, most of which are Tom Cruise's solo dance, especially the tap dance, which won him full applause and proved that half a year's dance lessons were not in vain.

The dance is also the intersection of his psychology and reality. The most prominent part of these two passages is the "rhythm". The rhythm is just right. The well-proportioned rhythm expresses Billy's state of mind and sophisticated defense methods in the form of dance.

The final result, of course, is that Lockhey and Velma all successfully exonerated.

"Finally, don't forget to ridicule the media."

This is the reaction of many viewers after watching the court play. The court trial was broadcast live on the radio, and the newspaper prepared two diametrically opposite newspapers. When the news of Lockhey's acquittal came out, the corresponding newspapers were sold as soon as possible.

At the same time, Roxy thought she could become a real celebrity, but she was the focus just now, and was quickly abandoned by the media. The media was like a shark, always looking for the freshest blood.

Amos was the only one who still valued Roxy, but this ungrateful woman rejected him without hesitation.

Roxy wanted to perform on stage, but encountered obstacles everywhere. Velma found her. Facing the cruel reality, Roxy had to compromise and formed the "Chicago Murder Sisters" troupe with Velma, who didn't like it.

The film has also come to the end, since it is a musical, the end must be a grand song and dance.

This song and dance is extremely dazzling. Lockhey and Velma are in the spotlight, and they have become stars. Standing in front of the gorgeous and confusing background, their dance is also crazy and passionate.

Under the torture of Duke's countless NGs, the final shots of Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta Jones can be said to be equal, make up for each other, and even complement each other. At the last moment, the two people They all abandoned the character temperament in the film and showed their own charm, which not only did not let people off the show, but increased their attraction.

When the stage lights were bright in the film, the sisters walked behind the curtain with brisk and playful dance steps, and returned to the stage with a white Chicago typewriter that matched the silver-white tutu skirt.

The audience burst into laughter from the sound of the theater.

The audience in front of the big screen also laughed out loud. Whitley even clapped her palms unconsciously. Lockhey and Velma on the screen shot at the light screen behind them. Two lines of large characters, Roxy and Velma, were written.

On the screen, the audience burst into applause. Lockhey and Velma have become big stars. They stood in front of the stage and received applause and congratulations from the audience.

Under the screen, the audience applauded violently. Like the audience on the screen, they stood up and applauded vigorously, sending the most heartfelt congratulations to the crew sitting in the front row.

"Wonderful, unexpectedly wonderful!"

Gru clapped his palms vigorously, and said to his wife and daughter, "The director has retained the splendor of the musical, but added appropriate adaptations, which can not only recall the splendor of musicals, but also have a new experience. very impressive."

"Yes, Dad, very good movie."

His 20-year-old daughter confessed, "I didn't like this type of film originally, but this one is completely different from the musicals of the 1960s and 1970s, it's very good, I trust your vision now, and I decided to bring it this weekend. Look again, classmates."

The applause on the screen has ended, and the applause under the screen has not yet reached its peak. The audience stood up and looked at the direction of the crew. The applause became louder and faster, even after two full minutes. There is no stopping trend.

"Robin, tell everyone to go up to the curtain call!"

After Duke's words, all the cast and crew took to the stage in front of the screen. After four consecutive curtain calls, the applause finally stopped, and the audience began to leave the stage one after another. "Chicago" also appeared on the big stage of the North American theater chain! (To be continued ~^~)
