Chapter 241 Brand new experience
In prison, Lockhee learned about the invincible "deeds" of the famous barrister Billy, so with the generous support of her husband, he grabbed Billy's support from Velma. After Billy's shaping and media hype, Lockhee transformed from a cruel slut into a sympathetic little sweetheart.
So the puppet double act dance appeared, and the press conference was designed as a puppet show, and the identities of lawyers and reporters were virtualized.
The manipulator at the press conference - lawyer Billy is the manipulator of the puppets, reporters and Lockhee are manipulated puppets, lawyers' dance movements are dominant, while reporters and Lockhee's dance movements are passive, and they are following the lawyer's movements.
At this time, lawyer Billy's cunning and strength, reporters' blind obedience and pursuit, and Lockhee's at mercy are all in front of the audience.
The puppet double-acting dance is not an original movie, it exists in the original musical drama, but Gruen clearly feels that the movie is different from all the musical dramas he has seen and is more outstanding.
First of all, everyone's faces were so dull. The two people on the stage were cheating and smearing thick oil paint. I believe no one could see that their faces were blushing, which was very appropriate.
Second, the perfect fit between light and shadow and the plot. The rose-red lights make the stage warm and lively and cute. It is always a pleasure to enjoy such ridiculous and funny scenes under such tone.
In this series of Lockhee's famous passages for interviews, all the shots have been nullified, giving people the effect of restoring the original appearance of reality. However, this seems so ridiculous, funny and ironic in the face of real reality, because these pictures are clearly exchanged for lies, but they are restored to such authentic pictures. How should the line between false and real be defined?
Needless to say, this kind of anti-colored lens is even more of a low-key break.
Lockhee became famous and became a celebrity in the sin capital of Chicago. Her hairstyle and the items she used were all bewitched by the media, and was even bought by many people for money. Billy also received enough of his $5,000 lawyer's fees through a series of clever operations.
The camera looks very joyful. But everyone can feel the black mockery.
What will a vulgar, vicious and ignorant woman like Lockhee become when she becomes famous? In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that she rejected Velma's request for cooperation and sarcastically mocked her fiercely. Then the video uses a song and dance to explain her mentality changes at this time.
First in prison, in Lockhee's house, flowers and letters from readers filled the entire narrow space. Lockhee, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was lazily looking at the reports and news about her.
When the warden asked about her plans after she was released from prison, she casually said, "I want to perform on stage."
Then Lockhee began her narcissistic monologue.
First, there was a woman's temptation reflection. The shiny floor reflected Lockhee's obsession with himself.
The camera moved upwards and frozen on Lockhee's face, and she began to recall her bitter past. But soon, her self-inflation and complacent attitude after recalling the bitterness and sweetness were exposed. She twisted her body, and under her sexy performance was an unhidden arrogant heart.
During this period, Duke deliberately added mirrors in the empty and black venue one by one.
On the one hand, the mirror can be seen as the full exterior of Lockhee's inner ecstasy, and on the other hand, the reflection of two sides to multiple mirrors actually metaphorizes the fact that Lockhee's ** is constantly expanding. Her personality gradually split into fragmented fragments.
As he embarked on the road of fantasy, Locke also encountered a challenge. The daughter of a nouveau riche shot her lover and went to jail. Not only did the media reporters surrounded each other, but even Billy gave up on her. The stupid Locke used the best method he could think of - pretending to be pregnant. He attracted Billy and the media attention, and then bribed the doctor with his body to get fake certificates.
Seeing this, the audience burst into laughter. Isn’t such a sarcastic scene funny?
At the same time, they were also asking who was the woman who played the nouveau riche. She was full of glamor when she appeared and easily took away all her eyes. Even Tom Cruise was overshadowed in front of her at that moment. This woman's aura was extremely powerful!
A new farce was staged, and Lockhee's husband also performed a solo. Although it was just a small supporting role, combined with the special scene setting, especially the monologue scene of this poor transparent man, the pure white frontal light completely obscured his face, a kind of loneliness and despair of being ignored and trampled on by his identity was highlighted more eye-catching with his silhouette.
It also indirectly highlights the ridiculous and ridiculous era reflected in the film.
A funny idiot like Lockhee, when he keeps success and his reputation becomes more and more famous, he naturally doesn't take everyone seriously. He even disdained the savior Billy. Fortunately, she is not hopelessly stupid. The only innocent Hungarian woman in the Beast Six group was hanged and woke her up!
"This trial, the whole world... is actually just acting."
The words of lawyer Billy seemed to reveal the essence of Chicago in that era, and then awake Lockhee walked into court with him and began to be tried by law.
This is the performance time of Tom Cruise.
To be honest, even if Duke watched this court performance, he had to admit that Liang Tang was a very hard-working actor. Despite his limited talent, and always subconsciously wanting to use his own favorable conditions - such as appearance - can easily give people a weak acting skills and a single image.
But in court scenes, what Billy needs is an exaggerated performance method, which can actually cover up Tom Cruise's shortcomings, make full use of a large number of body movements to conceal his habit of stiff facial expressions.
"Lockhee, you are a superstar in acting with you!"
Billy's lines may be a bit exaggerated to Tom Cruise's performance, but in Duke's opinion, he is much better than Richard Keel.
Regardless of his acting skills, singing and dancing, appeal, or appeal, he is completely overwhelming that guy.
The courtroom play is also interspersed with a lot of singing and dancing, most of which are Tom Cruise's solo dance, especially the tap dance, which won him a lot of cheers and proved that half a year of dance lessons were not in vain.
Dance is also a cross-expression of his psychology and reality. The most prominent part of these two sections is the "rhythm". The rhythm is just right, and the well-proportioned rhythm expresses Billy's mood and old defense methods in the form of dance.
The final result is of course that Lockhee and Velma both successfully escaped from the crime.
"In the end, I didn't forget to ridicule the media."
This is the reaction of many viewers after watching the court drama. The trial was broadcast live through the radio, and the newspaper prepared two newspapers that were completely opposite. When the news of Lockhee's acquittal came out, the corresponding newspapers were sold as soon as possible.
At the same time, Lockhee thought she could become a real celebrity, but she was still the focus just now and was quickly abandoned by the media. The media is like a shark, always pursuing the freshest blood.
Amos was the only person who still valued Lockhee, but this ungrateful woman refused him without hesitation.
Lockhi wanted to perform on stage, but he ran into a wall everywhere. Velma found her. Faced with the cruel reality, Lockhi had to compromise and formed a two-person performance group "Chicago Murder Sisters" with Velma who he didn't like.
The film has also come to an end. Since it is a song and dance film, the ending must be a grand song and dance.
The song and dance were extremely dazzling. Lockhee and Velma were in full spirit in the spotlight and had become stars. Standing in front of the gorgeous and confusing background, the dance of the two was also crazy and passionate.
Under Duke's countless tortures, the final shot of Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta Jones can be said to be equal, compensating for each other, and even reflecting in the flash. At the last moment, both of them abandoned the character temperament in the film and showed their own charm. This not only did not make people lose their role, but instead increased their respective attractiveness.
When the stage lights were bright in the film, the sisters walked into the back of the curtain in a light and playful dance move, and returned to the stage with a white Chicago typewriter that matched the silver-white short dance skirt.
The audience bursts of laughter came from the sound of the theater.
The audience in front of the big screen also laughed out loud. Whitley even unconsciously slapped his palms. Lockhee and Velma on the screen aimed at the light screen behind it and fired. After the dazzling lights flashed, two lines of large characters were left on it.
On the screen, the audience applauded thunderously. Lockhee and Velma have become big stars. They stood in front of the stage and accepted the audience's applause and congratulations.
Under the screen, the audience applauded thunderously. Like the audience on the screen, they stood up and applauded vigorously, and gave their most heartfelt congratulations to the crew sitting in the front row.
“It’s wonderful, unexpectedly exciting!”
While slapping his palms hard, Gru said to his wife and daughter, "The director retained the excitement of the opera, but added appropriate adaptations, which not only reminds people of the splendor of the opera, but also has a brand new experience. It is amazing."
"Yes, dad, a very good video."
His 20-year-old daughter confessed, "I didn't like this type of film, but this one was completely different from the 1960s and 1970s and was very good. I believe in your vision now, and I decided to take my classmates to watch it again on the weekend."
The applause on the screen has fallen, and the applause under the screen has not reached its peak. The audience stood up and looked at the direction where the crew is located. The applause is getting louder and louder and faster. Even if two minutes have passed, there is no trend of stopping at all.
"Robin, inform everyone to go up and finish the curtain call!"
After Duke's words, all the crew members walked onto the stage in front of the screen. After four consecutive curtain calls, the applause finally stopped gradually and audiences began to leave one after another. "Chicago" also appeared on the big stage of North American theaters!
