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. .
