Murder in Burlesque #VictoriaRomprey

      Those who have seen the movie Chicago, are well aware of the fact that this is no regular musical. This is no fake love story where people rejoice in song and laughter in the streets of Italy. The ending isn't necessarily a happy one like the rom-coms you'll see in the theater today, and you definitely will not catch Roxie Hart flying back into the arms of her beloved, neither Amos Hart nor Fred Casely.

      Chicago is not a movie where the women learns to be successful and independent on her own merit, nor does she learn right from wrong. In Chicago, the lesson is more then meets the eye and is not generally one you expect to hear on the big screen. Chicago proves the fact that ultimately, the "easy" way out may just be something a bit more.

      This crime-fiction-comedy-musical is a cult classic that not a single person can deny the humor behind. The ironic story of a women searching for fame, and killing the man that teases her of the glory is an undeniably humorous storyline. In life, there seems to be both challenging and clean paths. The clean cut path always seems so enticing, maybe there is only one or two steps down the path before you reach your destination, although the catch is that the steps are dangerously steep, and narrow. The challenging path may consist of a windier, and downhill journey-which may seem quite daunting at first look-but might just be intimidating rather than actually challenging. People often choose the shorter and clean cut path, which end them up in a scary situation. In Chicago, the belief that the "Clean cut" path will end you up in a bad situation is tested by two girls getting exactly what they were looking for in murder.
