It's not that people don't care for musicals, it's that studios think the idea of a musical is bad, so they want to distance themselves from that narrative whenever they try to market these films. It's a piss poor strategy imo. If the movie is a musical, just say so and market it that way. Instead of trying to appeal to people who don't like musicals, just appeal to the people who do. Otherwise, you'll just get people sitting in the movie theatre disappointed or upset that the movie that was marketed to them ended up being different from the one they're watching. 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 75,618 Posted February 14, 2024 Share Posted February 14, 2024 The movie was never going to be something like The Greatest Showman, In The Heights, etc. Anyone who thought that those were going to be the "musical elements" of the film just has a rudimentary understanding of what musicals are. The first movie had a ton of "musical elements" in it, and I expected them to keep the same vibe, but maybe add a bit more. I mean, if you're casting Lady Gaga in a movie where music is integral to the characters and the plot, you're obviously going to utilize her and amp up the musical elements. 🦠🧙♀️🥀📸🎉👻🕺🧟💊💖☎️🔪👤🐺🌱🌎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a movie where the main characters sing and dance in musical numbers" Joker is not a movie, its a slideshow of a bunch of photos taken every second that your brain recognizes as it moving "I hope that you will love me in this way For who I am—not then—but for today" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musical numbers = musical When i think musical i think of singing the dialogue. This does not seem like that. It is therefore not a proper musical 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they they’ll burst out singing a whole song at any given opportunity Yeah I think it’s more like American horror story asylum with the name game more so than a musical like grease Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley 58,663 Posted February 15, 2024 Share Posted February 15, 2024 It's like how some people were hesitant to call A Star Is Born a musical. It kinda makes sense... but also not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If song and dance sequences are integral to the overall artistic product and have a significant amount of the runtime devoted to them, it’s a musical.

I’ve never seen cabaret, but chicago certainly uses song to advance story and dialogue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
