Chicago #tati

This film is directed by Rob Marshall starring Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Richard Gere released in 2002. This movie is very unique compared to any other movie I have seen recently. A murder, musical, and entertainment all in one [sentence fragment; no verb]. The events that take place in this movie aren't very realistic because they get away with things that we couldn't in reality.

The characters use musical theatre to express their emotions, as well as committing crimes. We see how the emotions vary throughout their acts. Some more sentimental, while some are more violent.
They outline a common show business drama using this young girl that is hungry for stardom. As she's coming up she realizes that this isn't a clean objective, the twist here seems to be violence and murder. So she does what she can to get to stardom even if that means communiting a crime.

They [who are they?] use two worlds: the realistic Chicago, which is violent, and crime filled. But on the other hand the fantasy one that every young naive upcoming actor wants a piece of.. the Jazz fantasy. This movie consists of a lot of singing and what not. More like a musical overall, which isn't my thing. So this movie didn't really peak [pique] my interest, for the most part I found myself easily getting distracted away from the movie [run-on]. Also the back and forth from reality to the musical was confusing, so there were a lot of points I would question what was going on. On a [in] retrospect the idea of combining the real Chicago and the fantasy that every actor dreams of was very interesting and intelligent. So in regards to that technique I won't knock the movie. But this wasn't one of my favorite films that we've watched.

Tati,

This post shows real progress in that you skillfully offer up both critical analysis and evidence in support of your ideas. You are no longer relying so heavily on recall/retell. That said, one of the requirements found in "The Guide to Evaluating Blog Posts" states that in order to be competent or exemplary you must include a relevant image. It seems to me this might be a good opportunity to find a shot that includes a split-screen or a dissolve that visually represents both the realistic and fantastic versions of Chi-town for example:
