The kaleidoscope of lights, colors, actors, props geometrically increasing and decreasing, and the movements of the characters together constitute what Deleuze calls Global Movement, in fact it is this dizzying effect that causes us to feel our presence in the world. The structural house at the beginning, the one-man band in the middle, and the unrestricted passage of the scene at the end prove that Minnelli is not only structurally aware, but also purposefully experimenting with...

I'm not a fan of musicals which changes reality to the fantastic...

The heroine is ugly and cheating, the poor second male is so happy to be wearing a green hat, and the poor second female is used as a spare tire not to mention the money, the more the female lead looks like Sister Feng. . . . Supplement: Originally it was 3 stars, but the bizarrely long song and dance and the fucking ending made me change it to 2...

1 French style in the 1940s and 1950s ^_^, reflected in the play, I like it. 2 As a woman, I don't really agree with Lisa's way of dealing with a new relationship. Although she ended up having a happy ending with Jerry, what about the first gentleman? Where to put him? You are all talking about getting married, and you are still in a relationship with a new person. You are not very responsible in both...

Please note that this is a movie from 70 years ago. All kinds of people who show superiority in the comment area can go away. You have to consider the age of the movie. You were not born 70 years ago, and you couldn’t watch it without TV in your home 70 years ago. When it comes to movies, you don't even dance to the beat. A bunch of overbearing CEOs with silicone faces in idol dramas have no aesthetics at all!...

Worthy of a classic, Vincent Minnelli has made a perfect fusion of ballet and musical. I am not really touched by this story, but the exploration of the form of the musical type film must give an excellent Evaluation! The silent dance by the water is a preview for the [Ponge Team], and the pianist's imagination is an evolution. Kim Kelly dances too sexy. Although the French girl Karen has excellent ballet skills, it is a pity that her beauty is not as good as the film...

It was originally thought that the collision of two cultures was presented in the form of song and dance, but it was indeed a song and dance combined with a clichéd love story. The Oscar aesthetics in the 1950s seemed to fall into a bit of flattery to traditional genre films. The combination of singing and dancing and narration is divorced from reality and becomes a purely dream-like scene...

A contender for the worst Best Picture Oscar in movie history. Apart from Kelly leading the children to learn English ("I Got Rhythm") and a pianist who is underappreciated by his ingenuity dreaming that everyone at the concert is himself, there is no other exciting scene. A hypocritical vulgarization of Paris. The singing and dancing party, which climaxes with multiple paintings and stage sets, is tedious and boring. The unprovoked forced reunion at the end is disgusting. The heroine casting...

Although it is a musical, and it is also very exciting and gorgeous, the long musical performances that are not closely related to the plot are too...

Friends and neighbors give this score very low, balance it. Compared with Minnelli's later Peng team, the singing and dancing part and the plot advancement are not so closely integrated. But as a film developed from a "Kelly dances Gershwin" concept, the degree of completion is conscientious. The choreography, editing, and art direction in those 18 minutes was considered a milestone in the musical process. It was better than many musicals in the...
