Well, it seems to digress. Back to "Dream Girl".
The story of the film is average, and the rhythm is a bit messy. But this does not prevent it from becoming a wonderful movie: the first song in it is wonderful, and the choreography and setting may be of the highest level in the world. Even if I saw it very early, it did not prevent me from relived the enthusiasm for a while. When you are in a gloomy mood, the lively songs inside can give you the strength to get out of the trough.
Since "Chicago" swept the Oscars, the movie circle has been looking forward to the revival of musicals. You must know that the golden age of Hollywood is the golden age of musicals! It's a pity that a good film like "Chicago" is more like a flash in the pan, and several of the following song and dance films are not small, but they haven't made a big wave. I really like the topic of "Gee House Rental", but the taste is too heavy. Most people still like the prosperity and celebration of singing and dancing. This movie about poverty, drugs and AIDS is somewhat out of the crowd's requirements for musicals. "Hairspray" is festive enough, and it is also a masterpiece sweeping Broadway, but it's a little bit of a petty style. Even though the actors are all singing and sweet, they are full of bubblegum-like frivolousness. Wenqing, petty bourgeois and angry young people are embarrassed to admit that they like this pink movie, in fact, people all over the world are like this. Everything in "Sweeney Todd" is very Tim Burton. Even if you have played Gothic to the extreme by Bolton, no director in the world today can beat you, but there are always times when you miss, look, it is a pity that the two excellent actors, Depp and Helena, twisted and sang. The look is really twisted. How could I forget "High School Musical"! But I guess no one would object to it as a youth idol drama. Most of the songs in it made me get goosebumps. If it weren't for the handsome boys and beauties in adolescence, I would have been violent. And the big beauty Uma Sheman's "Producer" seems to be even more silent. In the end, "Dream Girl" did not provoke the backbone of the revival. Although the purpose of this film is clear, and the standard is considered to be high, the impact of the Oscar is ultimately not the case. That year, the Oscar won eight nominations. In the end, only the dark horse Jennifer Hudson won the best supporting actress, and even the best song fell into the hands of "The Inconvenient Truth", and the soundtrack was not nominated, so how terrible! Although the film may not be favored by the academy, the general public still loves it. Musical films, it's just a joy to watch.
Seems to digress again.
Spoilers have never been my strong suit. Fortunately, the plot of "Dreamgirl" is not complicated. It is "A pure girl group! The sinister entertainment circle is not your paradise!" I believe everyone can easily understand the story of the movie now. Many black movie stars are concentrated in the movie. The queen Beyonce, Jamie Fox, and Eddie Murphy are the backbone of BLACK POWER in American pop culture. Jamie Fox won the Oscar for Best Actor in "The King of Soul Singer" and became the third black actor in history. Many supporting roles are also familiar faces, all over a variety of movies, especially black movies with a small cost. The most surprising actor in the film is naturally Jennifer Hudson. Although this fat sister regrets the American idol, she is a blockbuster on the smooth road of the movie, and it is very popular! Strictly speaking, Hudson is definitely the first heroine in "Dream Girl", and she performed the most exciting songs in the film. However, because she is a newcomer, she took a low-key route and used her role as a supporting actress. Hudson's performance is really amazing, full of amorous smiles and frowns. In the scene that just came out, with just a word, with the twist of her pretty waist, a coquettish and willful Effie appeared on the stage. Watching Hudson's performance in every scene is completely enjoyable. When she becomes a down-and-out middle-aged woman in the later stage, you will never think that she is only 25 years old. As for singing skills, look at Beyoncé, who was originally well-sung in the movie, is defined as a vase with no emotions and good singing skills. You will know the level of Hudson's voice. My two favorite songs are the opening "MOVE MOVE" and "ONE NIGHT ONLY", which are very powerful. After watching the opening song, you can fully understand that Effie was so proud when she first appeared, because she has this capital! And "ONE NIGHT In "ONLY", Beyoncé's version is completely self-inflicted. Fortunately, in the end, Bi sister came to the first solo with a burst of emotion and strength, or the momentum of the queen who has accumulated for many years is really ruined in front of the novice. The best expression of Hudson's singing ability is naturally the scene in which she was removed from the group. The explosive power made her scalp numb. With his acting skills and singing ability, Hudson swept the major awards ceremonies that year with a dark horse, and won the Oscar, winning back the best supporting actress. But I am also grateful that Hudson competed for supporting actresses, and the aura of Queen Helen Miller was still unmovable. The two recent movies with Hudson's part are "Sex and the City Movie Edition" and "The Secret Life of Bees". The performance is still eye-catching, especially the little assistant in "Sex and the City", whose aura covers Jessica Parker. In the movie, Hudson got the LV bag sent by Jessica Parker. Her expression and tone made me excited, as if I was holding a gorgeous LV bag in my hand and preparing to return home! And in "The Secret Life of the Bee", the self-respecting butler also made Hudson shine with a metal version of determination! Sister Harry Berry is trapped in the curse of the Oscar heroine. Now that Quinn Latifah is old, the only black actress that can be expected is Hudson!
As for the songs in the movie, oops, I was so excited that I was speechless. Even if the story is bad, even if you string these dozens of songs together to make a giant MV, you can still listen to it. The soundtrack of the movie must be collected! However, at the Oscars, the best soundtrack was not even nominated, and the best song was nominated for two. In the end, he lost to "The Ignored Truth". It is a kind of miserable misery! In particular, the song scenes in the movie, the BLINGBLING setting, set a feasting disco tone for the movie, and let the end of the dream girl bring a trace of fireworks to the end of the dream girl, and all return to the peaceful beauty of regret. Thinking of the stage that this year’s Oscar ceremony spent a lot of money to set up, in fact, there have been gorgeous predecessors decades ago!
I can't start writing anymore. I originally wanted to talk about music movies with black people as the protagonist, so let's talk about it later.
Summary (thesis writing syndrome broke out, and everything should be written summary): "Dream Girl" is a typical song and dance film, and the wonderful story of the song and dance is lax. Not a short distance from perfection, but first-class entertainment! It's worth collecting, it's worth buying a high-definition disc and putting it in a big TV and stereo, it's worth twisting your body along with it.
