Musicals have been around for a while. I personally love musicals. I like good musicals though, some of the one's I've seen were.....different to say the least and I like different. Being different it to be original but in my opinion some musicals are just better than others. Mitch Glazer, author of "Singin' in the Rain" which was featured in The New Yorker wrote about musicals such as "Across the Universe", and "Sweeny Todd". He also talked about the rise of popularity when it comes to musicals.
Hair is another good musical. When I first saw it I didn’t really understand it but as I watched the movie more I realized what was going on. It's definitely a film of the times and it reflected what was going on during the time the movie took place. A story of love, freedom, courage, and self-righteousness, Hair is one of my favorite movies because it reminds me of a time when things could be really good and peaceful in times of fear and turmoil. If you haven't seen it I suggest that you check it out! And watch it more than once to get the meaning. Or maybe you a smarter than I am and won't have to.
