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.

Hangover is a movie with a very clever composition and structure: there are amazing flash backing vocals, and the action that evolves backwards-ahead, there are a lot of plot quirks that did not tangle, but for sure amaze you. From the standpoint of the movie formal construction of the picture it's just brilliant. There is a very clear role differentiation: each character is an expression of a prejudice, a walking stereotype, which manifests itself in different situations so predictable and therefore all the film looks like parody.
