Review: In our minds rhinestones, sequins and other shiny things strongly associated with pink and glamorous culture, whose adherents brain constantly punching people on TV. But add jazz, chic, brilliant actors – and voila! Welcome to the stylish Chicago twenties.
The plot, admittedly, can seem absurd riding – no, well, what you have to be a fool, for the sake of fleeting fame thunder in jail? As a consequence, perhaps, the Russian production of the musical failed – well, do not understand our man pathological thirst for glory. However, where the production of the “stars fast food” purchased conveyor speed, the dream of his own star on the Walk of Fame is in the blood, striking and disabling brain sanity. Therefore, the “Chicago” to look first of all from the aesthetic point of view, enjoying great video there, cancel the room and beautiful melodies. Think about the meaning is not worth, as the whole of creation shine Rob Marshall can dramatically fade.
But look deystvitelon is what. Two brilliant actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger were just amazing duo, classic version of “blonde + brunette”, which sings and dances, and looks great in every single frame – two divas of Broadway, luxurious and seductive (and those who say that Zellweger can not be a diva, insert eye to their due place and do not take them away from the screen until you go credits). Matched with them, and the main man movie, the lawyer Billy Flynn, played by Richard Gere, who is currently the wine over the years becomes only better. His game is akin to tap dance, which he delicately beat on stage every gesture, every replica – all exactly, accurately and at the highest level. Not to mention that for his manipulation of the lawyers need to see without fail.
