The last time I met a movie that I liked very much, I watched it twice in a row, and it dates back to the first time I watched the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series three years ago. Of course, the two are completely different films, with very different points of intense attraction. What I like about "Embroidered Spring Knife" is the story and the pictures, and I like the vividness of ancient costume martial arts, while "Chicago" has more attractive points and is a great classic.
When I was studying, the teacher said that film is the eighth art. Although it came a little late, this form of art and technology can directly include the previous seven arts. Listening to Jun's words, after watching movies, I intend to appreciate them from the perspective of the seven arts, and mobilize all my senses. Today, when I watch "Chicago", I find that it has filled the shell of the film with different forms of art, which is really a great audio-visual enjoyment.
The following are some of the artistic elements of the main product.
The first thing to praise, of course, is the dramatic art in the movie. Everyone knows that this is a film based on a classic Broadway play, and the brilliance of the play "Chicago" itself is the cornerstone of the film's success. The story of the script is already very brilliant, imaginative, dramatic and artistic. The writers who created this drama mix bright comedy with dark crime, and the dramatic conflict is very strong. All the main female characters in the play are murderous felons with blood on their hands, but they are also bright stars with beautiful appearance and outstanding talents. , hard work, hard work such advantages. All in all, from the beginning to the end, the audience loves and hates them, and in the end, they can't hate them again.
With such an excellent blueprint for the play, of course, the choreography of the stage play itself cannot be missed. Although I haven't seen the stage play yet, it's not hard to imagine how much creative the director has drawn from it for singing and dancing. It is precisely because of this that the film has such high attainments in the two major arts of music art and dance art. I admire and unforgettable the most, and the reason why I will watch it for the second time is that I can't forget the beautiful songs and dances in it, especially those parts where the rhythm and lines are so in tune. I feel that the words are really difficult to express the feeling of being overwhelmed when I watch it. During the trial, Richard Gere's defense + tap dance, when they met reporters for the first time, the two answered reporters' questions + puppet dance, Zeta Jones talked with Renee in prison + solo dance, Renee's self-reported + mirror solo dance, and I like it very much At the end, Zeta Jones and Renee's duet dance... I can't say enough, there are so many beautiful dances, beautiful songs, and easy-to-read lines to match this wonderful story.
From the story, to the picture, to the music, to the dance, to the lines, to the rhythm, this film has achieved a score of more than 90 points, which is basically a full-point work, so there is no need to say more. In the past, my favorite movies often had only one or two very prominent places that strongly shocked my heart - such as the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, which is an action scene and Zhang Zhen's perfect interpretation of the characters; , is the growth mentality of boys and girls; "Hemulan Road" is the ability to analyze dreams and image reproduction; "Farewell My Concubine" is a profound description of China and the Chinese people. And this movie stands out too much, refreshing my understanding of good movies.
The most curious thing right now is what the original stage play and the movie directly have in common and what are the differences. What is the song and dance like in the stage play? How much essence did the director absorb, and what inspiration did he get from it.
I suddenly understood why my high school classmates who signed up for directing at the university finally chose the direction of drama directing. In terms of artistic level and performance difficulty, the drama is really on a higher level. It is a very classic drama. If the script is good, if it is moved to make a movie, the success rate is not small. Of course, the director and the actor have to be strong. Such as "Donkey Gets Water", "Tea House" and so on. And other works by Happy Twist. Suddenly I really want to go to Beijing to watch a drama.
