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.

Greenberg

Greenberg

The Greenberg movie's main protagonist escapes from a nervous breakdown and declaratively "temporarily no busy". From this point of view he does nothing and almost nothing happens in the movie. Director, probably even would not mind to sit in front of Greenberg on the edge of the pool all the half and one hour, but the damned human conventions make both occasionally move. Stiller clearly relishes the role: nature has limited its role, but here with the usual cosmetic changes Stiller's character changed radically. Gestures, facial expressions, manner of speech - the same, but they did not remain a single gram of charm, fixated on their tedious frustrations Greenberg is the last person with whom you want to be in the same room.
