Chicago by Walatsebi Kofi-Mensah Lomotey








I really hate musicals with a passion, with the exception High School Musical, but the film Chicago was a pretty decent musical. The storyline to the film was pretty interesting. In the movie I liked the fact that every new character in the movie had a different song. This made the movie more interesting. I also like how the songs reflected on the mood of the movie. They all represent an event in the movie. The plot of the story was very convincing. It looked like Roxie was clearly innocent until she shot the guy in the chest. It seemed like she got too ahead herself and her dream got the best of her. Clearly Roxie just wanted to be famous. She got her fame by residing in jail which was riveting because she actually loved the publicity. This movie had so many themes not only coming from the main character. The movies was about murder, love, lust, betrayal, pride, thirst for fame and so much more. This movie was ultimately interesting for a musical.

  1. Walatsebi, your recollection of this film indicates that you possess an inherent ability to examine a piece of work and provide an objective and critical analysis. I agree that there were many themes present in this film and that Roxie's true colors were masked by a veneer of cheap innocence and false sincerity.
