Chicago


This film was directed by Rob Marshall published [produced?] in 2002 staring Renee Zellweger (Roxie Hart), Richard Gere (Billy Flynn), and Catherine Zeta-Jones (Velma Kelly). Out of all the movies we have watched this on is very different because it is in the form of a musical and everything they do is with singing. 

The story line here is that you have Roxie Hart who is fame hungry and wants to spend her life and dreams on the Vaudeville stage. The movie is about [set in its titular city, Chicago, during the Roaring '20s] the roaring twenties. So Roxie continuously tries to find hope in getting her break at stardom because she wants to leave her boring husband Amos, an auto-mechanic

Later on were are introduced to this club that seems to be all about women being seductive. In the club there is a singer named Velma Kelly who is later on found charged with murder of her sister and husband after she discovered they had an affair. Going on back Roxie has meet a person that promised to make her a star. After Fred got his way with her and told her this is all he has to offer her she got fed up with him and shot him. She gets sent to jail were she meets Velma, and they talk about everything they did and go on from there.

I think that the emotions and everything going on in the movie are so in a way realistic even though its a musical and how they do crimes you can still picture how upset Roxie was when she got manipulated and they betray her when thinking she was going to get her big break. It's really a high energy movie. Overall the movie was good, it showed how she wanted to strive in what she wanted to be, peruse [pursue] her dream with both ambition and love.
