Music is not bad

The plot is very clichéd: love triangle, brother-in-law fell in love with sister-in-law, sister-in-law also fell in love with brother-in-law. The sister-in-law tried to conceal her love for her brother-in-law and date a rich man for the happiness of her sister. In the end, the sister withdrew and ended in Da Tuan Yuan.
The character of the character is also very single.
The only thing that shines is that the cappella "Broadway Melody" started by Andy was pretty good.
But early movies, understandable

    What logic is this ~~ New York and Broadway are not good places (it seems that the movie also means that), sisters and lovers can't be reunited. What's so good about Eddie, and what's wrong with his ending with Queenie? The letter is actually more in line with the current aesthetic standards. Not as refreshing as the dog version. In the 1920s, the non-synchronous sound, the editing looks odd today. Broadway's intoxication and vulgar sex appeal

    The legendary worst Oscar best picture in history, and even the historical status of "the first musical and dance film in film history" can't save its reputation collapse, not because of the rough plot, maybe the bigger reason is the shocking moral principle. The male protagonist fell in love with his fiancée's sister and quickly pursued it without any guilt. The younger sister was also interested in her brother-in-law but agreed to the playboy's pursuit in order to escape the ethical dilemma. In the end, the elder sister went away to restart her acting career in order to fulfill her sister. Until now, it is inevitable to be criticized. Even so, the value of this film is still indelible. As the pioneering work of a song and dance sound film, it is such a complex character relationship at the beginning, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the latecomers; the application of sound and picture synchronization technology brings unprecedented expressiveness to the film. Innovation: The interlude "Broadway Song" in the film has become a classic and was used as the finale of the tribute track in Stanley Dornan's "Singing in the Rain". It is worth mentioning that the scene switching of this film is still in the form of line cards, retaining the remnants of the silent film era.

The Broadway Melody quotes

  • Hank Mahoney: [Instructions to the piano player] Now, give us a pick-up for an introduction and a couple of choruses. And swell to the finish. But you follow us, not us you.

  • Turpe - Costumer: Stop? Stop! Girls! Girls! Girls! Be careful of my hats.

    Chorus Girl: Well, we gotta get down on the stage.

    Turpe - Costumer: I don't care. I can't allow you to ruin 'em.

    Wardrobe Lady: I told you... they were too high and too wide.

    Turpe - Costumer: Well, big mama, I design the costumes for the show, not the doors for the theater.
