Chicago Ending

As we continued to watch Chicago, a new criminal showed up. Kitty Baxter, who was arrested for killing her husband and his two lovers. Once she arrived at the jail, she started to steal the spotlight from Roxie. Seeing that she was losing her fame, Roxie immediately thought of a lie to get everyone's attention back on her and made up that she was pregnant. Then she started to become overconfident in herself thinking that she didn't need Billy and fired him.That was until she witnessed the Hungarian women in the film being hanged. She got a big reality check there and decided to re-hire Billy.

As we finished up Chicago, I was a little disappointed with the result of the trial. I felt that Roxie should not have been innocent. She was a terrible person and a horrible main character. She was very unlikable because of the way she always wanted attention and treated everyone as if they were inferior to her. Also the fact that she ended up getting what she wanted in the end after killing someone, getting off not guilty, treating her husband like dirt, and becoming famous in the end was really ridiculous. It's really frustrating because of how true this is compared to celebrities today who can get into trouble, but not in trouble because they're famous. She did at least get some karma. Immediately after the trial, the spotlight had totally gone out on Roxie and moved on to a random woman who shot someone outside the court. I really loved Velma's character more than Roxie. She seemed chill and less fake than Roxie. I also saw the irony at the end of Chicago when Roxie and Velma, who were rivals throughout most of the film ended up having to work together if they wanted to be famous. My favorite thing about Chicago would have to be the soundtrack. I really liked most of the songs in the film. Overall, I liked some of the film, it was an interesting story line, however I hated Roxie.
