What exactly is your definition of a musical, something from broadway, a movie with singing people, or anything that happens to have a soundtrack 😖?
I'm not trying to sound mean, i'm just a Drama kid, and those are such different types of plays/films that it is nearly impossible to compare them. And are you speaking of movie versions or broadway versions, the music, acting, which cast, etc? ermm
Hmmm. Cinematic musicals I always believed were films with an integral musical component, such as musical pieces that aid in the telling of a story. It's the whole warping of reality, as in most films it would be distinctly odd if the cast began singing and music started playing from no where. Thus a musical has this sense or unreality, but it doesn't detract, as the singing is a part of it. When I think of movie musicals I think of ones on the list, or Oliver, Mary Poppins and so forth.
And I am pretty sure it's just a general question, which film musical do you like the most?
