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.

Released in 2012, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days covers the events depicted in third and fourth books of Jeff Kinney: The Last Straw and Dog Days. The last one "realistic fiction" novel got more attention from Wallace Wolodarsky who wrote a screenplay for the movie, and this fact is noticeably reflected in the film's plot. The storyline begins with Greg Heffley and Rowley Jefferson are going to the country club for their summer vacations where due to the unfortunate sequence of developments both of them got into the troubles. Bleak outlook of spending the summer in vain efforts to make some money is rising at the horizon with more and more of clarity. That makes the movie very similar to previous two: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011) – the hopeless children are showcased as losers trying to do their best. Nevertheless, the play of the cast is outstanding as usual and while watching this sequel you distinctively understand why these seven actor and actress (Zachary Gordon, Karan Brar, Robert Capron, Laine MacNeil, Connor & Owen Fielding and Dalila Bela were nominated the Young Artist Award and some of them ( we mean Laine MacNeil) even won it. By the way, Zachary Gordon's career is moving quite fast, which is led him to the lead role in the 2012 movie Norm of the North, where he plays main protagonist, Norm.
