Description

Chicago is a 2002 American musical crime comedy-drama film directed by Rob Marshall and based on the 1975 Broadway musical of the same name. The movie tells the story of Roxie Hart, a young woman in 1920s Chicago who dreams of becoming a star. When she is arrested for murder, Roxie hires a slick lawyer named Billy Flynn to represent her in court. As her case gains media attention, Roxie's fame skyrockets, but her relationship with Flynn becomes increasingly strained.

The film features an ensemble cast that includes Renée Zellweger as Roxie, Catherine Zeta-Jones as her fellow inmate and rival Velma Kelly, and Richard Gere as Billy Flynn. The musical numbers, which were choreographed by Rob Marshall, are a highlight of the film. Chicago won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress for Zeta-Jones, and Best Art Direction.

Chicago is known for its satirical take on the American justice system and its exploration of celebrity culture. The film's themes of fame, corruption, and the pursuit of the American dream are as relevant today as they were when the musical first premiered. With its memorable songs, stunning dance sequences, and dynamic performances, Chicago is a cinematic tour-de-force that continues to captivate audiences.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

A young couple, engaged and confused about life come to learn that there just may be a different life to be offered and it's even better than what they have going.Director Woody Allen wanted to film in Paris back in 2006 but changed his mind when it became obvious it would be too costly. His choices in cast members was spot on and the results is one of the brightest and funniest romantic comedies in recent history. Owen Wilson (Marley & Me, Little Fockers), Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes, Morning Glory), Adrien Brody (The Experiment, Predators), and Cathy Bates (Harry's Law, Fried Green Tomatoes) head up a talented cast that keeps this comic romp moving along as they fine their way around in the bright lights of Paris."

Arthur

Arthur

Sure, the agonizing choice between love and money is a staple in the rom-com genre. After all, what sustains Jane Austen's perennial popularity more than her poignant, insightful portrayals of sweet young things torn between desire for love and need for thousands-a-month? We do not, however, often see men in the same dilemma, so Arthur strongly suggests that some bois may have hearts after all. Well, underneath the profligacy and playboy stuff, bois may have hearts. In Arthur, the title character must decide between preserving his inheritance by acquiescing in an arranged marriage or protecting his heart by staying with the woman he truly loves. Naturally, no spoilers required. "Yes, this year's Arthur is a remake of the Dudley Moore classic; you may compare and contrast at your leisure. With Russell Brand and Jennifer Garner filling the screen, the old story has a whole new look, feel, and flavour. And with Helen Mirren playing Hobson, the adult supervision, aka Arthur's devoted caretaker and confidante, we get just the right measure of gravitas to keep the funny and ironic parts truly funny and ironic.
