I just watched Dreamgirls and it was much better than expected.
When I first heard about this movie, I thought it was a film company that followed suit to win the box office. The main reason is Beyonce. Although I like listening to her singing very much, she has shown more good figure than good acting skills in the first few dramas she starred in. There are also the former actor Jamie Foxx who is unstable and has passed away. Eddie Murphy for many years, plus the music and dance film in recent years, almost all the limelight should come out, so there is no expectation for this drama. But after reading it, it has changed a lot, and even felt a little amazing. Reason: music, actors, production.
Any good musical is indispensable to good music. Although I haven't heard the songs in this drama, I don't know if they are original or classic old songs. The feeling of Motown in the 60s is really good. What's rare is that the songs are very closely related to the plot.
The best performer among the actors is Jennifer Hudson. It feels like she is the heroine of this drama. Maybe she was only a supporting role at the beginning of the filming, but because of her good Beyonce too many dramas will continue to be added. Drama, there will eventually be Dreamgirls now. She performed very lively and explosively, and showed strong stage dominance in the first song she played. The ups and downs in Effie White's life are well explained from appearance to emotions. The solo singing on the stage when leaving the band makes people feel heartbreaking. The first play has such a result, which makes people look forward to her future acting career.
Beyonce's performance has improved to some extent over the previous dramas, but the problem is that the passages that she performed well are basically the passages that are sung (especially the passages where a person sings in the studio, but always feels like MTV), although Some people say that various arts are fundamentally interlinked, but it seems that it is not easy for a good singer to become a good actor.
Although Eddie Murphy was affirmed by the Golden Globes for this play, he personally thinks that it is mainly because he hasn’t played such a serious role in a long time. He has changed a lot and sings well again (compared to his chorus with Antonio Banderas in Shrek2). Much better), the shaping of the character is actually not too brilliant.
Jamie Foxx can only say that he is really sexy, so let's keep going.
The play was made with great care. I won’t say much about the beautiful scenes, and the director’s skills are a bit clever. It’s rare that I didn’t stop at singing and dancing for the sake of singing and dancing. Instead, I portrayed the background of racial discrimination in the United States. The fate of the characters has also changed because of the times. I believe this play will be a black movie next year. There will be a lot of rewards at the awards ceremony.
Favorite passage: The passage in which several protagonists quarrel on the New Year’s Eve stage. The noise is very refreshing. The mirrors used as the background are very clever.
