All That Jazz

Masterful movie, apparently it's kinda an autobiography. Having the introspection needed to make this is crazy impressive. The music/dance scenes are incredible, as I expected from the dude who made Cabaret. But there's a LOT more to the movie than that. The first half is introducing Joe Gideon who's a talented cheater, asshole, bad father, etc. But he talks to this figure in a white dress, who I believe is some sort of angel of death? But his daughter is also constantly nagging at him to get married so it could represent some sort of reminder that he actually has to be a responsible adult? Idk man. Then the second half he faces extreme exhaustion and things get better somehow. He's stuck in bed and can't finish his play. Man that final 10 minutes were so masterful. He apologizes to his ex wife and daughter and also slays a performance. Then bodybag, then movie ends. Crazy. What's really messed up is he never actually said sorry to anyone to their face. It was all in his head. Which i think is realistic, there are times we mess up in relationships and you really don't have that opportunity to apologize (break ups, estrangement, etc) and you have to live with the guilt. But yes, peak.
