There is musical and musical. Just last night I went to see the stage version of Flashdance and I enjoyed it a lot: producing a young, vibrant, fresh, with a close-knit cast, well-stocked. No name is known, but so much energy and rhythm that are not totally regret the original film.
What has this to do with Burlesque , I ask? Simple. As I said, there is musical and musical: Flashdance is proof that you can deal with 'issues' serious and important (unemployment, working-class, youth problems, insecurity) even with a genre seemingly 'frivolous' and less inclined to 'commitment. In short, the musical is a genre in itself, and is absolutely not true that screenplay and background components are 'marginal', in second place with songs and choreography. If there are musicals with these features, are just bad musical.
Here Burlesque is nothing but a bad movie. A film boring, superficial, glossy and quite useless, as well as tremendously banal: it is not sufficient to put the camera in front of dozens of dancers in skimpy clothes to attract the attention of the viewer, so as not to tire you can not always see in the sculettare buxom protagonist in each scene and show their 'thank you' without the slightest form of passion and conviction in what he is doing.
Burlesque film is a flatness and a dreadful mediocrity: a saccharine story and laughable (yet another 'episode' of youngsters and young without money, Cinderella story, which leaves both ways to the cities in search of glory. ..), 'enriched' (so to speak) the contribution of two stars who read well below the minimum wage, and essentially to boost their respective careers. A freak
noisy and empty, soporific and unnerving, that is offensive and ridiculous to compare Cabaret, in which the film director Steve Antin videoclipparo says he 'inspired' here, you know that between Bob Fosse's masterpiece, and this no nonsense the same difference, in terms of aesthetics, which is between Anna and Monica Bellucci Mazzamauro. Volgarotto comparison, but in line with the level of the film.
