Chicago

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.

Before the Jackass 3D film begins, there is a brief introduction involving Beavis and Butt-head, where there is a reference to the 3D technology used in the film. The opening sequence shows all of the cast while they are hit by various objects in slow motion. As most of the stunts in the film were filmed with a camcorder Panthom on a very high speed (1000 frames per second) there is lots of the must-see moments. Jackass 3D, like its predecessors (Jackass: The Movie, Jackass Number Two, Jackass 2.5), has no real plot. It's just a continuation, the most dangerous stunt performed by the characters and jokes are taken from the MTV's Jackass TV series. Among the numbers in the dangerous stunts there is a tether ball, played with a hive full of bees African, a tooth being extracted with a Lamborghini, the use of a special glue to rip off the hairs from the chest and much more. The final stunt showcases Steve-O launched inside a portable toilet using the banjo jumping ropes. The final sequence was made with a technique quite similar to the starting one, but in this case the viewer relates a series of explosions in slow motion and at the end of it, a flood is simulated with the cast that is completely submerged. Just as in the last two films, Rip Taylor makes announcing the end of the film before you see the credits. During the end credits there are some MTV series' scenes TV show are shown accompanying with the old photographs of the cast. Everything ends up with cast members singing Memories, an official single from the Jackass 3D movie.
