I have an urge to wear sparkly clothing and take long lungey steps that include over-my-head high kicks.
I just saw Chicago.
It reminded me of Moulin Rouge, with the whole staging, singing, and dance thing going on.
It felt like a stage show on a movie screen. There were some effects that could not have been accomplished on a stage, but for the most part, it really felt like a broadway production.
The underlying message seemed to be how women, or more universally, people, can manipulate the public interest and get what they want.
THe story was based on events that happened in the 20s. I think we have the same things going on today.
It was a abstract portrayal of what the events and relationships. I liked that. Made things seem more evident that strict realism.

From what you say, I bet the best way to see this movie is on the big screen. In high school and college I saw a lot of stage productions like “Bye-Bye Birdie” and “Under the Lemon Tree.” Live performance has its own special magic. If this movie has captured that magic, its sure worth seeing.
