"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.

6/10. Old-fashioned and boring, the structure of the film is straight to the point, and the relationship between the characters is presented in the shortest possible time: the rural sisters who came to New York to escape the service fee of the hotel but have fear and longing for the future. The sisters fell in love with the chorus that supported them. The group manager, but the manager seemed hesitant and reluctant to face his sister's love. The sister chose to quit in order to fulfill the lover and encouraged the manager to rush to the nightclub to grab her sister back from her rival; In the scene, although the singing and dancing clips are dull and dull and lack the sense of layering of the picture, the sound technology achieves the effect of mutual promotion of sound and picture. For example, the opening scene takes the rehearsal room as the background, and the sound is cut off incoherently with the clipping of the scenes inside and outside the soundproof room. Creates a noisy effect of different instruments/songs being played at the same time.

Rotten Tomatoes has the lowest-scoring Oscar for best picture so far. The reason for the award is simple: it was MGM's first musical with sound, and technological advances made it the top-grossing film of 1929. The reason for the low rating is also very simple. Although the art of film itself is inseparable from technological changes and the operation of capital, it is always the story itself that has been passed down through word of mouth, which is also the operating law of human society.
