Overall: ☆☆

Story: ☆

Visual: ☆☆☆

Sounds: ☆☆☆☆☆

 

A couple of songs are really famous and I think these are quite catchy. These obey to the style of Early American style of music (like CHICAGO...) And dance performances in this film are also quite artistic and iconic. But the problem is.. obviously in a script.

Because I think that the performances are not so much necessary.. but it took little bit long time. Communication between the story and songs are OK. But I'm not sure why is this story too serious? Musics sound like so positive and fancy.. On the other hand, the story is sort of nightmare. I couldn't accept an end. 

The worst thing is.. 20minutes before of the end, the story seems to be a happy ending. However, too much unlucky events are happen within 20 minutes. every atmosphere altered and I thought that every key points in this film mean nothing because of this rubbish ending.

This sort of problem also happen on the " The Rocky Horror Picture Show" as well..

Its story is also strange. But it is obvious that the Rocky Horror Picture Show's script means nothing. It just focus on making  a strange atmosphere, characters, and a worth as a entertainment show. But Sweet Charity, is not.
