The night is young and so far I’ve done laundry, walked the dog, had wine, a protein bar, some pizza. The usual. But I started to watch Nine. It was recommended by a friend. So far I am thoroughly enjoying it. What a cast of actors and actresses it has! I can see, so far, why people compared it to Cats or Chicago. The film really comes down to one thing and it lets it’s audience know that at the beginning: HI GUYS. I’M ABOUT FILM MAKING. It’s like that throughout the entire film. I actually enjoy this part throughout the film.
The oscar-winning cast is great. The main characters give the film -some- emotional depth (i.e. Judi), but I didn’t find much emotional depth in any of the characters. I found it greatly lacking it that respect. Characters: Judie Dench is excellent as usual, Fergie can sing (obviously!) and she’s great in the film, Nicole Kidman can’t do an accent in this film to save her own life (but is beautiful as usual)…Daniel Day Lewis does a pretty good job at his role, but I feel it could have been more heart felt. He felt disconnected.
Overall, the choreography is great and the cinematography is great. I really like how it weaves in and out of time limes during the musical scenes. Some movies can do this and some movies can’t. I give it 7.5/10!
Oh, and by the way, I don’t watch all musicals. Just as of late, apparently.
