The Greatest Show on Earth, which was watched four days ago, had a lot of circus performances, and the 9th Academy Awards Best Picture The Great Ziegfeld had a lot of cabaret performances, of which the gorgeous cake stage passage was the most amazing, and the stage space change of the dance girls dancing in bed was also quite cleverly designed... On the contrary, the flat and straightforward biographical story is somewhat dragging its feet. When he first met Anna in France, Siegfried spoke sweetly and pampered her, and then Anna followed him to New York, where she later married.
However, Siegfried finally empathized and did not fall in love, and when I saw Anna sadly calling to wish him a remarriage, I couldn't help but think of you again, thinking of your original good, thinking of your later badness, remembering that I once thought that you were tired of playing with me, I would ask for another new pleasure to let me go, and I would slowly heal? And now I feel that even if you are gone, I still can't forget you, I can't get rid of your huge influence on me, and I still want to continue to miss you endlessly or love or hate for the rest of my life!
The film tells the story of the song and dance king Ziggy Fei for most of his life. In 1893, the male protagonist took Hercules and competed with his rivals for business. The male protagonist's business is not as good as his opponent's, and he is very depressed. Accidentally, the male protagonist found that he could use Hercules to do other performance programs, so the male protagonist's business was booming again. Subsequently, the male protagonist reported that he had been arrested for his false performance. But the opponent meets the male protagonist on the ship to Europe. At this time, the male protagonist is bankrupt and penniless, and the opponent has to lend him money. However, in France, the male protagonist secretly envelops the singers that his opponent likes. The male protagonist soon married the French singer, who also performed very successfully. After that, the male protagonist decided to stage another luxurious blockbuster and use a new star, which made the French singer a little disappointed. Luxury blockbusters require a lot of money, and the male protagonist has to borrow money from his opponents. The luxury production was a success, and the male protagonist signed several well-known singers. At the same time, the male protagonist's men found a new star, but this new star came from a humble background. The male protagonist created a sad performance for the new star. The performance failed, and the male protagonist went bankrupt again. At this time, the heroine of the luxurious giant production forcibly kissed the male protagonist in the room, and was seen by the French singer, and the two divorced. The male protagonist, who has no money, finds a rival again and steals his popular singer again, and the male protagonist also becomes a couple with the singer. After the two got married, the performance had successes and failures, but people gradually became dissatisfied with him, and the male protagonist also heard a lot of people sarcastic about him in the barbershop. The male protagonist is very disappointed, and his wife decides to support him in a new performance. Soon, four new performances were staged at the same time, and the male protagonist found the people who were in the barbershop at the time and gave them tickets for the full set of performances. But at this time, the male protagonist had borrowed money to buy a lot of stocks, and the financial crisis had ruined his family, and even his opponents had no money. In the end, the male protagonist dies on the couch.
This is a song and dance biopic from Hollywood's golden age, so you can imagine how luxurious and spectacular this film is. However, the nature of the song and dance film makes the film not good and successful. Most importantly, as a biopic, the protagonist depicted in the film, Ziegfeld, does not have a distinct personality. Through the film narrative, we can see that Ziegfeld has two personalities, one is to dare to spend money and always bankrupt, and the other is to like beautiful women. Therefore, Ziegfeld is both a king of song and dance, but also a king of bankruptcy. It will be a "bankruptcy" in a few years! The biopic has been filmed to such an extent: to have no personality, no background, and no growth trajectory of the character, it is too much of a failure! All this is because this film is a song and dance film, and the huge, spectacular, luxurious song and dance are dominant!
That being the case, the highlights of this film are all focused on song and dance performances. It is said that it is a song and dance performance, but in fact, the focus is on "dance" and luxurious sets, because the songs in this film are not good. The song and dance performance in the film lasts almost an hour, and various solos, solo dances, group dances, and dazzling stage sets, organs, etc., all show the luxury of Ziegfeld's song and dance and the peak of Hollywood song and dance in the 1930s. For these breathtaking scenes, the words describe it as pale, and only by seeing and hearing it with your own eyes will you feel it personally. All in all, this film is the most popular, the most luxurious stage scene, and the most gorgeous performance of the song and dance films I have ever seen.
Filming is more ordinary. However, this film cleverly uses newspaper news to connect the plot, eliminating a lot of unnecessary plots, which is still commendable.
The cast of this film is dazzling. The actor, William Powell, gives an impression of the average, both in terms of performance and appearance. The French singer played by Luise Rainer is impressive, with a soft voice and petite behavior, which is very cute. However, her "taunting" temperament is just right to grasp, that is, to make people like, but not to attract people to hate, it is really rare. I don't know if this Academy Award for Best Actress winner is the same in life? Myrna Loy plays the second wife, who at first glance looks familiar, and only after checking the information did she know that she appeared in the Golden Age, but at that time she was a black hair. In this film, she shows her beautiful side, or blonde beauty. Another major supporting character, Virginia Bruce, has a beautiful face, but her temperament is very cold, and it is no wonder that she is not red. In addition to the three beauties who are also dialogued, there are too many beauties in the cabaret show! The black-haired, blonde,dzzled me. The most surprising thing is that the appearance of these beauties is very similar, they are all standard "beauty" looks, and there are too many Hollywood beauties!!
To sum up. It's a film that's very mediocre in everything but cabaret, especially the main character building, which is too superficial. Therefore, this film is a perfect song and dance film, but it is only a third-rate biopic.
