| Topic | ~ The Gauntlet Crew Ranks Movie Musicals, Part 2: The Golden Age ~ |
| Raka_Putra 01/27/20 7:47:51 PM #161: | The Phantom of the Opera: Yeah, some aspects are so overdone and the cinematography tried a bit too hard at times. I didn't really like it. But after watching the 25th anniversary version I appreciate the musical a bit more. I still don't love the score since it's too...dramatic/operatic for me, but what can you do. Favorite song: Angel of Music. Hedwig: This movie made me uncomfortable and I forgot like 90% of what happened in the movie. Fame: It's...okay. But the many plot threads mostly made me feel lost. I just remember them singing in the streets for the titular number. Guys and Dolls: I need to rewatch this movie since I remember it even less than Hedwig. I think I'll appreciate it more now though. Rent: Rent rent rent rent rent. This was my first rock musical obsession and I listened to it a lot during my internship days so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. The numbers are actually mostly really good, especially since they excised the Voice Notes and Christmas ditties. The characters being pretentious leeches is something of a snag after reading about it, but to me, they're pretty likeable to each other in context so I can let it slide. Fav song: Another Day. A Funny Thing: I LOVE the opening number (and if you haven't, you should check how they do it on stage...brilliant). I enjoyed the rest of the movie at the time but now I can't remember the exact story beats but just that I felt entertained by it. Which might be what they set out to do anyway.
