有音乐话筒和善良的霓虹,对我来说就足够

音乐电影是类型独特的电影,其历史可追溯至电影中声音的出现。随着技术发展,音乐电影经历了黄金时代、商业衰退及现代复兴。迪士尼的动画音乐大片如《小美人鱼》等引领了90年代初的成功潮流,而《红磨坊》和《爱乐之城》等真人音乐电影也证明了此类电影在现代的重要性。尽管存在翻译难度,但电影媒介依然能创造舞台上无法复制的场景,使音乐电影值得称赞。

 LA LA LAND'

Hollywood's “classical era of the musical film” remained popular up until the late 1940s and 1950s, at which point a production unit at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer headed by Arthur Freed began to transition away from the approach embraced by old-fashioned musical films, to a structure that gave his directors and choreographers free rein and furthered the boundaries of musical films.


好莱坞的“音乐电影的古典时代”一直流行到20世纪40年代末和50年代,这时,由亚瑟·弗里德(Arthur Freed)领导的米高梅公司的一个制作部门开始从老式音乐电影所采用的方法转变为一种让导演和编舞自由发挥的结构,并进一步拓展了音乐电影的界限。

Through the 1960s and onward, the adaptation of stage material for the screen remained the predominant trend in Hollywood, partly due to its enormous success upfront.

Over the next several years, the popularity of the musical film waxed and waned, finding success in films such as Saturday Night Fever.

在整个20世纪60年代及以后,将舞台材料改编成电影一直是好莱坞的主导趋势,部分原因是它在前期取得了巨大的成功。事实上,《音乐之声》和《奥利弗!》等等,都是改编自百老汇的热门剧目,每部都获得了奥斯卡最佳影片奖。在接下来的几年里,歌舞片的流行起起落落,在《周六夜狂热》等电影中取得了成功。
