Masterpiece


Such a beautiful and touching film. Surprised it bombed since it it is so iconic. I never liked the spinoffs musical that werent with John. Shouldve been recorded.
The Movie is so brave. Full of meaning and Triumphic. So sad tragic yet exquisite. Just rewatched it and there was so much hidden meaning I never understood and so much destruction and childhood meanings. I’d wish this types of movies were still being made and recognised and these types of relations with self and others were more common.

I am a normal Asian guy. Not the typical target for this film at all. And I love it!! Truly one of the greatest film musicals of the past twenty years! As an adaptation of a theater musical, it blows away Phantom, Les Miz, Chicago, Cats. Dunno about the new West Side Story, but probably that too.

In terms of inventiveness and sheer audacity, you’d probably have to go back to Xanadu (an underrated musical) to find another musical of similar creativity.
