a bottle marked poison

10/10 for the Toxic Yuri (aka Roxie x Velma) alone fr, and the visuals were OFF THE CHARTS WITH HOW STUNNING IT WAS LIKE MY GOD!!!!

also if I had to be honest (and this is not a critique against the film, this is probs my own personal feelings lol) , I feel like “Chicago” (2002) is one of those films where I need to have a 2nd rewatch to fully appreciate it more, if that makes sense? Don’t get me wrong, I really loved the film fr, but I think I might need to go on another rewatch to FULLY fully appreciate it, ya’know what I mean?

(Admittedly the only cringe thing was seeing *gags* Harvey Weinstein’s name in the credits 🤮 (as the film was distributed by his company Miramax which I mean fiiiinnneee it was the 2000s it was before….ya’know…..EVERYTHING…..but still it was weird seeing his name on the credits of a movie (a movie about 2 flawed women who want to go into showbiz and all that mind you) way before he was finally and rightfully outed as the monster that he is), but tbf at least his name wasn’t there for too long lol)

anyways, for a first time watch, I really really enjoyed and loved it!

and considering you’re a huge huge fan of the film, I just wanted to give my thoughts on the film to you!!!

awww i'm rly glad u enjoyed it!!!!

yessss the toxic yuri is one of my fav parts of it lol (as well as the entire cell block tango number i can't tell u the impact that scene had on me when i first watched it lol!)

i also just loveee the contrast between how the musical numbers looks vs the rest of the story (it's such a clever way of making the musical feel kinda grounded but also not afraid to be like a proper cheesy/camp musical if that makes sense?)

i definitely get wanting to rewatch it to get a better idea how u feel about it tho! i feel like musicals have that quality tbh first watch is for enjoying hearing the songs and trying to figure out what the fuck is happening, 2nd watch is for finally knowing what's happening and getting to appreciate the entire production a bit better!

was randomly on sinner's wikipedia (checking there's no controversies on it unlike Some people...) and saw he has a discography tab? and he was featured in an andrea bocelli song?????

ofc had to look it up and it's somehow even weirder than u'd imagine, he doesn't sing on it but he does a few spoken word bits, but more bafflingly he just sorta hovers around in the music video doing and holding random stuff?? like the tennis ball and racket, makes sense i get it! then he's leaning on the piano watching andrea like this is some romantic comedy??? then they're playing chess?? then there's a dog?? and then they're outside on a walk??
