The Broadway Melody evaluation action

"The Broadway Melody" is a true musical and dreamlike. The light comedy elements in the film also make the film feel warm and humorous. Although there are some plots and irony that reflect the current social situation at that time, there is not too much thinking and criticism of heavy issues such as fate and social contradictions. The dramatic conflict is not very sharp. In addition, the film is also a romance film. The plot processing strictly follows the typical romantic film routine of "balance-imbalance-restoration of balance". The story structure of the love triangle in the film is simple, the plot development is straightforward, and the characters are distinct. Although clichéd, it has the appeal of a "dramatic prototype". Generally speaking, if judging from the standards of modern music films, the film may be considered "not high-level", but it is already considered excellent in the popular love triangle dramas of the 1930s. The songs of the film are beautiful, the performances are enthusiastic, the dialogue is interesting, and there is a kind of innocence and childishness of early movies. Although the creative consciousness is basically still conservative, such as the use of silent film era subtitle cards to cut scenes and explain the location of the story, it is in a pioneering position in terms of historical technological changes.  .

    The proportion of song and dance is actually not that big. The level of arrangement and performance can only be said to be quite average. The language of the stage scenes is also relatively simple and rigid. As far as the positioning of an early large-scale sound song and dance film is concerned, regardless of the stage level or the audiovisual level, The 29th edition of "Broadway Melody" is a bit primitive, and I feel that Oscar was a bit anxious to help the sound film. However, although the movie is now relatively ordinary in all aspects, the tune "Broadway Melody" has become a classic, almost the name of a song and dance film. Later, when MGM made "Song in the Rain", it was positioned to be a golden age musical tour. The planning stage was to set the song first and then arrange the plot. At the risk of being criticized, it must be "Broadway Melody". The climax of the whole film also shows the status of this song.
