Brief Introduction: In Chicago, where the show business was in a boom, our blond-hair heroine Roxie Hart had a strong willing to be a famous star. To achieve this goal, she even cheated on her honest husband and messed around with a furniture seller who promised to help her perform career. When she found out that her lover was lying to her, she became so angry that she killed him in rage. Of course, she was immediately put into prison, where she met Welma Kelly, a night club star who killed her disloyal husband and sister. With the same aim, which was using their identity of murderer to become famous, these two women became enemies. Would they be sentenced to death? At that time, what was more important? Justice or fame? Let’s find out the answer in the film.


简介:在娱乐业发达的芝加哥,金发女主角罗西哈特有一个成为大明星的梦想。为了让美梦成真,她甚至不惜背着丈夫和一个承诺帮助她的演艺事业的家具推销员偷腥。当她发现情人一直以来都在欺骗她时,她在极度愤怒之中杀死了情人。当然,很快她就被送进了监狱。在狱中她遇见了从前的夜店女星魏尔玛凯莉。两个女人都想利用自己杀人犯的身份出名,也就此变成了敌人。她们会被判死刑吗?正义必胜还是屈服于名望?让我们进入电影寻找答案。


Leading Roles: 1、Renée Zellweger. After starring the simple love story, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Renee impressed her audiences again with this new movie, Chicago. In this film, much different from BJ ‘ s Diary, she played a sexy blonde lady with a hot figure. She showed her excellent acting talent in this film, but unfortunately, she didn’t win the Oscar award that year. However, this year, 2020, finally, Renee Zellweger won the Academy Award, and now this lady is the best actress of the 92th Oscar.


主演:1、蕾妮齐薇格。 在主演轻爱情喜剧《BJ单身日记》之后,蕾妮用这部《芝加哥》再一次征服了观众。 这部电影中,她身材火辣的性感金发美女形象与BJ单身日记中大相径庭。她也在这部电影中表现出来优异的演技,但遗憾的是,当年她没能拿下奥斯卡金像奖。然而今年,2020年,终于,蕾妮齐薇格获得了奥斯卡最佳女主奖,成为了第92届奥斯卡的影后。



2、Catherine Zeta-Jones: She stepped into show business as a song and dance actress. In Chicago, she not only sang well but acted well. The wildness and danger coming along with beauty she showed in the film was really appealing. And of course, she won the Academy Best Supporting Actress that year, 2003. By the way, she was pregnant when playing the role Welma Kelly in Chicago.

3、凯瑟琳泽塔琼斯: 她作为一个歌舞演员出道。在《芝加哥》中,她不仅唱得好,演的也非常棒。在影片中她表现出来的狂野和带有危险性的魅力着实迷人。 当然,她也夺得了2003年当年的奥斯卡最佳女配奖。值得一提的是,她出演芝加哥中魏尔玛凯莉这一角色时是怀有身孕的。



Reviews: This is an ironic work which mocks at the depraved lifestyle in Chicago in the 1920s, before the economy crisis came. At that time , Americans were absorbed in Jazz, wine, girls and everything that revealed the illusive prosperity before the storm. Roxie and Welma were just two symbolic characters of that time. The more dazzling the lives of the two ladies were , the more tragic things would be when the illusion broke. And besides all these ironic things, this movie is an excellent musical film itself. Maybe it’s one of the best ones in all times. The set, the dance and all that jazz may stimulate your nerves, and it’s not exaggerated at all to say that this film will make you have an orgasm. Cell Block Tango, this one block of the film is a well-known classic now.


影评:这是一部嘲讽了1920年代,经济危机之前芝加哥颓废生活的影片。那时,美国人沉迷于爵士乐,酒精,女人,以及一切反映着这暴风雨前虚假的繁荣的事物,两位女主,罗西与魏尔玛只是其中的代表。她们的生活越耀眼,幻灭后的悲惨也就越剧烈。抛开讽刺性不谈,这本身也是一部非常优秀的歌舞片,或许是有史以来最优秀的歌舞片其中之一。它的场景,舞蹈,爵士都刺激着观众的神经,甚至说可以让你达到性高潮也不夸张。其中“监狱探戈”的一段更是经典。
