Made in Hollywood

In prison, Roxy learned of the invincible "deeds" of the famous barrister Billy, so with the generous support of her flattery and her husband, he snatched Billy's support from Velma. After Billy's Shaping and media hype, Roxy was transformed from a cruel **** into a sympathetic little sweetheart.

So the puppet double reed dance was on stage, and the press conference was designed as a puppet show, where the identities of lawyers and reporters were virtualized.

The manipulator of the press conference-the lawyer Billy is the manipulator of the puppets, the reporter and Roxy are the puppets manipulated, the lawyer’s dance moves are dominant, and the reporter and Roxy’s dance moves are passive, they are following The action of the lawyer.

At this time, the cunning and strong of lawyer Billy, the blind obedience and chasing of reporters, and Roxy's being at the mercy of others are all in front of the audience.

The Puppet Double Reed Dance is not an original creation of the movie, it exists in the original version of the musical, but Glu can clearly feel that the movie is different from all the musicals he has seen, and it is more brilliant.

First of all, everyone’s faces were painted so dull, and the two people on the stage falsified and smeared thick oil paint. I believe no one can see the blushing, which is very suitable.

The second is the perfect fit between the light and the plot. The rose-red lights illuminate the stage warmly, and are also lively and lovely. Under such a ∮↖, the mood is always pleasant to appreciate such a mocking and funny scene.

In this series of passages where Roxy is famous because of the interview, all the shots have been decolorized, giving people an effect of restoring the original appearance of reality, but this looks so ridiculous and ironic in front of the real reality. Because these are clearly exchanged for lies, but are restored to such a true picture, how should the line between the false and the real be defined?

Needless to say, this achromatic lens is the kind of low-key drop.

Roxy became famous and became a celebrity in the sin capital of Chicago. Her hair style and the items she used were all bewitched by the media, and were welcomed by the people. Many people even bought it with money. Billy also took enough of his belongings through a series of clever operations. Attorney fees of $5,000.

The footage looks very joyful. But everyone can appreciate the black taunt.

What happens when a vulgar, vicious and ignorant woman like Roxy becomes famous? In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that she refused Velma's request for cooperation and ridiculed her viciously, and then the film used a song and dance to explain her change of mind at this time.

First, in the prison and Roxy's room, flowers and letters from readers filled the small space. Roxy, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was lazily looking at reports and news about her.

When the warden asked about her plans after being released from prison, she casually said, "I want to perform on stage."

Then Roxy started her narcissistic monologue.

First is the seductive reflection of a woman. The bright floor reflects Roxy's obsession with her appearance.

The camera moved upward and fixed on Roxy's face, and she began to recall her bitter past. But soon, the self-expansion and complacency after reminiscing about sweetness were exposed. She twisted her body, and under her coquettish performance was an arrogant heart that could not be hidden.

When shooting this period, Duke deliberately increased the number of mirrors in the empty, black venue.

On the one hand, the mirror can be seen as the full exposure of Roxy's inner ecstasy, on the other hand. The reflection of one side, two sides, and multiple mirrors actually metaphors the fact that Roxy’s desires continue to expand. Her personality gradually split into fragmented pieces.

On the road to fantasy, Roxy also encountered challenges. The daughter of a plantation nouveau riche shot her lover and went to jail. Not only did the media reporters besiege each other, even Billy gave up her, and the stupid Roxy used her On the best method imaginable-pretending to be pregnant. Attracted the attention of Billy and the media, and then used his body to bribe the doctor to obtain a false certificate.

Seeing this, the audience laughed. Isn't such a sarcastic scene funny?

Simultaneously. They are still asking who is the woman who played the upstart? She was shining brightly when she played, and easily took away all the eyeballs. Even Tom Cruise was eclipsed in front of her at that moment. This woman's aura is extremely powerful!

A new farce was staged. Roxy’s husband also played a solo. Although it was only a small supporting role, it was combined with a special setting, especially this poor transparent man’s monologue, completely covered by the pure white front light. In addition to his face, a kind of loneliness and despair of being ignored and trampled on his identity became more eye-catching with his silhouette.

It also highlights the absurdity of the era reflected in the film.

A funny idiot like Roxy, when he continues to succeed and his reputation is getting louder and louder, he naturally doesn’t put everyone in his eyes, even the savior Billy. Fortunately, she is not too stupid to save her. The only innocent Hungarian woman in the Beast Six was executed by hanging, and she was also awakened!

"This trial, the whole world... is actually just acting."

Attorney Billy's words seemed to reveal the essence of Chicago in that era, and then Roxy, who was sober, walked into the court with him and began to accept the trial of the law.

This is Tom Cruise’s performance time.

Frankly speaking, even if Duke watched this courtroom performance, he still had to admit that Liang Tang was a very hardworking actor, despite his limited talents, and he always subconsciously wanted to take advantage of his own advantages-such as appearance- It is very easy to give people a feeling of weak acting and a single image.

But in court scenes, what Billy needs is an exaggerated way of acting, which can conceal Tom Cruise's shortcomings, make full use of a lot of body movements, and conceal his habit of stiff facial expressions.

"Roxy, your partner is an acting superstar!"

Billy's lines may be a bit exaggerated for Tom Cruise's performance, but in Duke's view, he is much better than Richard Gere.

Regardless of acting, singing and dancing, appeal, or charisma, he completely exploded that guy.

The court scenes are also interspersed with a lot of singing and dancing, most of which are Tom Cruise's solo dances, especially the tap dance, which won him a lot of applause and proved that the half-year dance class was not in vain.

The dance is also the cross performance of his psychology and reality. The most prominent part of these two paragraphs is the "rhythm". The rhythm is just right. The well-proportioned rhythm expresses Billy's mood and old defense methods in a dance way.

The final result, of course, was that Roxy and Velma were all successfully exonerated.

"Finally, don't forget to mock the media."

This is the reaction of many viewers after watching the court scene. The court trial was broadcast live on the radio. The newspaper office prepared two opposite newspapers. When the news of Roxy's acquittal came out, the corresponding newspapers were sold as soon as possible.

At the same time, Roxy thought she could become a real celebrity, but she was still the focus of her life and was quickly abandoned by the media. The media is like a shark, always looking for the freshest blood.

Amos was the only person who still valued Roxy, but this ungrateful woman refused him without hesitation.

Roxy wanted to perform on stage, but hit a wall everywhere. Velma found her. Faced with the cruel reality, Roxy had to compromise and formed the "Chicago Murder Sisters" two-person performance group with Velma, who he didn't like.

The film has also come to the end. Since it is a song and dance film, the end must be a grand song and dance.

This song and dance was exceptionally dazzling. Roxy and Velma were full of glamour in the spotlight, as if they had become stars. Standing in front of the gorgeous and confused background, the two dances were crazy and passionate.

Under the torture of Duke's countless times, Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta Jones finally produced the same effect, complemented each other, and even made a difference. At the last moment, the two people Both abandon the character's temperament in the film and show their own charms. This not only does not make people get out of the play, but increases their respective attractiveness.

When the stage lights are bright in the film, the sisters walk into the back of the curtain with brisk and playful dance steps, and return to the stage with a white Chicago typewriter that is unusually matched with a silver-white dance skirt.

In the sound of the theater, there was bursts of laughter from the audience.

The audience in front of the big screen laughed. Whitley even clapped her palms unconsciously. Roxy and Velma on the screen shot at the light curtain behind them. After the dazzling lights flashed, they stayed above. The two lines of Roxy and Velma were written.

On the screen, the audience applauded thunderously. Roxy and Velma have become big stars. They stood in front of the stage and received applause and congratulations from the audience.

Below the screen, the audience applauded with thunderous applause. Like the audience on the screen, they stood up and applauded vigorously, sending the most heartfelt congratulations to the crew sitting in the front row.

"Very wonderful, unexpectedly wonderful!"

Gelug slapped his palms hard, and said to his wife and daughter, "The director retained the excitement of the musical, but added appropriate adaptations, which can not only remind people of the glory of the musical, but also have a new experience. very impressive."

"Yes, Dad, a great movie."

His 20-something-year-old daughter said frankly, “I didn’t like this type of film originally, but this one is completely different from the music and dance films of the 1960s and 70s. It’s very beautiful. I believe your perspective now. I decided to take it on weekends. Classmates look again."

The applause on the screen has already gone, and the applause under the screen has not yet reached its peak. The audience stood up and looked at the direction of the crew. The applause became louder and louder and faster and faster. Even if two full minutes passed, there was nothing. There is no stopping trend.

"Robin, tell everyone to go up to the curtain call!"

After Duke's words, all the cast and crew took to the stage in front of the screen. After four consecutive curtain calls, the applause gradually ceased, and audiences began to withdraw, and "Chicago" also appeared on the big stage of North American theaters! (To be continued...)
