"CHICAGO" - The film





This amazing musical that attaches you from the beginning to the end, wonderfully directed by Rob Marshall, is about two murderesses. Velma Kelly killed her husband and sister after finding them in bed together, and Roxie Hart killed her boyfriend when she discovered he wasn't going to make her a star. Both end up in jail. Velma, who was already famous, begins to disappear from the papers giving place to Roxie. It all happens in Chicago, 1929.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly, this is the incredible cast that composes Chicago. Each of them were nominated for Awards. Catherine won the Academy Award and Richard won the Golden Globe. Six Academy Awards were given to Chicago including “Best Motion Picture”. The soundtrack is amazing. There are songs from the lightest jazz, like “After Midnight”, to the heaviest, like “All that Jazz”, which is the theme song. It also includes “Cell Block Tango” which is the best song.

You’re going to watch musicals with other eyes. Chicago is a mixture of adultery and murder with comedy, drama and dance. You should see it.
