	History of Musical Film 2000
		The animated musical boom of the 1990's had petered out, and musical films once again became almost as rare as literate sitcoms.
		Intended as a tribute to the musicals of Fred Astaire, the result was an unsatisfying mish-mosh that left audiences giggling with embarrassment.
		Musical film took another turn into new territory with 8 Mile (2002), the first film to feature a hip-hop score that grew out of and played a part in the film's story line.

	What Makes a Good Musical?
		Musicals are a particular genre of film that seem to be coming back into focus after disappearing from the entertainment scene for quite a few years.
		Much like when you experience a theatre musical show, you want the atmosphere and the storyline to grab you and show you what makes the characters in the movie so special, and what they are really feeling when they sing their songs.
		Some musical directors have even gone so far as to employ the original theatre cast to star in the movie, meaning that the film still retains that original look and feel that the fans are used to but the director can expand and play on this with special effects and great use of cinematography throughout.

	Musical / Dance Films
		Musical arrangers, song-writers, conductors, and dance instructors hurried to the West Coast to be part of the onslaught of 'talking' musicals.
		The film featured the delightful pairing of red-haired singer Jeanette MacDonald (in her first film, debuting as the frustrated Queen Louise of Sylvania) and French entertainer and the film's sole star Maurice Chevalier in his second sound picture (as womanizer Alfred Renard and MacDonald's consort/prince).
		In the early 1930s, director Rouben Mamoulian was most adept at stylizing musicals, using various devices in his pictures, such as slow motion (to create dreamy interludes and imaginary settings), a moving camera, swift transitions between scenes, a double-channel soundtrack with overlapping dialogue, and reversed films.

	Disintegrating the musical
		Kelly and Donen's film, she argues, is haunted by an "anxiety of influence of a peculiarly American sort" (Clover, 727).
		It is a film, she writes, that worries about the fact that "too many of the unseen artists whose moves have been put to such brilliant and lucrative use in the 'white dancer's field' of the film musical are fl." (Clover, 729).
		In varying degrees, these films and music videos have set out to (generically) "disintegrate" the musical by foregrounding both its lack of racial integration and the "forgetting" of the history of fl performance and performers in the genre.

	Musical Film: The Umbelievable Genre, Ramon Paredes
		According to Kracaucer, film “is uniquely equipped to record and reveal physical reality and, hence, gravitates toward it.” Even when the film reflects the irregularities of life, he adds, it’s accepted as a representation of reality.
		Basically, there are four kinds of musicals: a) operas[6]; b) “all-sung musicals”; c) unintegrated musicals (that is, it deals with a singer or a dancer, and the audience or viewer is forced to see sequences of his or her work); and d) integrated musicals (that is, the singing and/or dancing are “part” of the dialogue).
		Sometimes, opposite to the integrated musicals, the dialogues between numbers in the unintegrated musicals are, as writes Solomon, “frequently tedious or insipid.” In fact, in the early unintegrated musicals, the dialogue tedious that it impossible to listen to it.

		The synchronous score was obviously a relative novelty, but even Jolson's musical numbers would not have been enough to propel the film beyond the rank of ordinary.

		In the early 1930's theater owners, flooded by musicals and responding to a public that was exhausted by the show-off use of sound through music, would enthusiastically declare "NOT A MUSICAL!" on their billboards when a film gave them the chance.
		Likewise, the film often cuts after or behind the beat, as opposed to on it, hampering the synthesis between image and sound, dance and music.

	Edward Copeland on Film: A musical with more cats than CATS
		The film is an oddity, alternately shocking, touching, and mordantly humorous in its consideration of two larger-than-life eccentrics living on the margins of society.
		The musical, which I saw in its off-Broadway premiere at Playwrights Horizons last spring, attempts to provide some context for the women's behavior, giving a glimpse of what their lifestyle was before it all came apart at the seams.
		But truth, as they say, is often stranger than fiction, and the musical successfully captures the essence of the film, highlighting the absurdity of its outrageous subjects without reducing them to caricatures - which would have been the obvious temptation given how easily the material might lend itself to grand guignol (or worse, full-on camp).

		The musical film will at certain moments sacrifice narrative development in order to allow song-and-dance numbers in which the female star functions solely to connote ‘to-be-looked at-ness’: denuded of any characterisation she may have had, at this moment we simply watch her body devoid of narrative function.
		Rather, it is a film whose excessive, extravagant transtextuality constitutes a new stage in the history of its genre: the historiographic metamusical.
		The film itself, though doggedly masculine and eschewing anything as nominally dandified as actual song and dance is propelled by narratively superfluous action scenes in which smiling young men pilot their planes through dangerous skies in perfect synchronisation as the soundtrack pounds out the rhythm and speaks volumes of the profundities in their hearts.
