The more thought I put into this film, the more I find wrong with it. First off, this ending sucked and completely destroys the entire message that the film was building up. What made this film so great was how it presented a very dark subject while presenting itself with fun and vibrant musical numbers. So when the ending turns out to be the characters getting exactly what they want, it really undermines the message. The ending also disrupts the entire identity of who Roxie is. She is so obsessed with becoming a star (to the point where it makes her one dimensional) that she will do anything to get there. So when she is declared innocent and no one cares, it makes it a satisfying end to her character. Yet she only suffers from this for 5 minutes. Then, she gets exactly what she wants and everyone holds hands and sings kumbaya. It's bullshit and it really pisses me off. My other major issue with this film is that it loves to beat you to death with what the film is about. How society cares about the headlines or a good story, but once they've chewed that up, leaving them and going right on to the next story. It's a great theme for a film, but in Chicago, it's way too on-the-nose about it. It's on a level of subtlety that I think is similar to The Substance. Otherwise, I did like this film and I thought it was quite good.

I miss when musical adaptations were actually good. Now every adaptation feels like money grab schlock. But THIS adaptation feels like a labor of love, like every person cared about what they were creating.  The entire vaudeville aesthetic will hit everyone icl, the sets, costumes, musical numbers, all were amazing
