La La Land (2016)
La La Land will surprise ANY viewer in a GOOD WAY!
The incredible work and vision of the creator Damien Chazelle with La La Land seems to have surpassed expectations and the known problems of putting movie musicals together.
Another Day of Sun
A glaring beginning with song and dance on a crazy hot Los Angelas freeway bridge in the full heat of the day. The first scene opens with dancing, singing, and acrobats setting the whole mood with the first words of the song in the middle of a traffic jam, keeping both your eyes, and ears glued to a scorching bridge over the freeway. Little by little you're given a chance to peak into the lives and circumstances of two struggling creatives who find each other through some very particular circumstances not once, but 3 times. Their personalities seem to collide but they decide that there is an ironically funny circumstance driving them to be together.
Someone in the Crowd
La La Land is a cutely colorful para nostalgic style story that captures the unsaid hunger of those who set out on to make their way to make it in the entertainment business, and get caught in life. Some end up breaking through the bonds of normal expectation and they get a few breaks. Some end up working a low paying job with very few benefits, with just enough money to run from audition to audition for a movie role.
A Lovely Night
In the style somewhat of Fred Estare and Ginger Rogers, the eclectic version of the life of Los Angeles wannabe stars is played out by Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. All the scenes in this almost tangible movie musical make you want to be there, you want to see the stars, you want to smell the fresh air, you want to dance and look over the edge of the hill to see downtown Los Angelas in the glowing hue of the sunset.
City of Stars
The solo warm tones of piano with a lonely piano player who meets a great girl brings you into the essence of a romantic interlude appreciating the atmosphere.
Gaslights illuminate the boardwalk pier as Ryan Gosling strolls and sings, offering a true performance of the professional he is. The night seems to sing along with him. He dances his way over the walk as the stars and the night become the best friend of Sebastian, the character he plays.
Let's Start a Fire!
The appearance of John Legend is a surprise that lends to his first debut in a movie with a speaking part. His music was impeccable for the scene. Let's start a fire!
La La Land
Presents to us a fantasy-like reality of Los Angeles dreamers and doers. It's a great movie musical that will stick in your mind for a long time with an eclectic version of original music by an artist like John Legend, and other music written by Academy Award winning composers like Benj Pasek, Justin Paul and more.
Cirque du Soleil: O (2017)
Cirque Du Soleil "O" By Christoph ShowsENT
(The Movie Version of "O" is far less attractive than the live show, so remember only in Las Vegas is the best view.)
Cirque Du Soleil "O"
By Christoph ShowsENT
Cirque Du Soleil has had a reputation for many years. They have come up with some of the most innovative, and colorful ways of presenting circus and stage acting since P. Barnum. Without using live animals, and creating their own creatures, Cirque Du Soleil has attained admiration of audiences all over the world.
The story "O" produced by Guy Laliberte', written and directed by the famous Franco Dragone has brought together mystique mixture of circus acts while at the same time involving the audience as part of the show. Imaginative characters work on the stage as if it's a playground complete with a swimming pool and create a sort of land, air, water, and fun filled ballet mixing and moving the story into an entertainment value that can only be described as "Magical" in a good way.
A hero so-to-speak is picked from the audience and becomes the character the audience looks for through the show as he appears, and disappears in various ways.
Marked as one of the very best shows on the Las Vegas strip, the sequences of acrobats, music, dazzling acts and colorful lighting keep audiences interested. Sailor clowns add a whole different meaning to circus clowns when they float aboard a magical bedroom, and a ship that floats over the water with trapeze artists catches attention from every part of the audience.
Fire-dancers, and Russian Swings amaze you as they work their spin of magic to the point when you wonder what they will do next, then suddenly you see another clown reading his daily news as he catches fire and pays no attention to it.
Cirque Du Soleil "O" can be one of the best shows for a decade. They say that when you come to see it, it's great, but next year if you see it again, it's already been changed so much that it's a different show the next time.
ChristophShowsENT is delighted to review and applaud Cirque Du Soleil "O"
Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away (2012)
A concept like this could be done better, but I love what they did
Worlds Away
By Christoph Shows
The movie begins with a girl who innocently walks into a circus atmosphere, and sees that they're having a show soon. She buys a ticket because she likes the young man whom she apparently had been taken by surprise with simply by them both connecting gazes. A magical moment happens and is somewhat destroyed by his boss telling him to get to work. She then enters the circus tent and watches the show. She is surprised by her new friend as he shows up on the trapeze. She enthusiastically watches him fly through the air, then suddenly crash to the floor of the circus. Worried that he's hurt she watches in frightful anticipation as the world turns upside-down and he falls through the floor as if it were sands through an hour glass.
Not wanting to lose him, she runs to save him, and falls through herself, and enters a world of total amazement while searching for her lost love.
The storyline then becomes a bit blurry as different characters come into play creating a momentous "Alice in the Looking Glass" concept as the plot meets many acrobats, illusions, and tricks that are totally amazing. Continuing the story quite some time later, she sees him and again tries to help him, then he disappears, with some near misses as they pass right by each other. This creates suspense with the audience that makes them wonder if the couple will ever connect again. It shows the hunger, and the desire to have that which once was lost, but hopefully will be found once again.
There are breaks in the story line that have absolutely nothing to do with the plot, and this is where I've seen most of the people who watch this are confused. Don't be confused as it is the efforts of the Cirque Du Soleil writers, and choreographers, to dazzle their viewers as they enjoy simply wonderful feats of human challenge.
Teaming up with Paramount Pictures and James Cameron (Turok, The Titanic, many more) Cirque Du Soleil combines theater with an incomplete story line which is replaced by mystery, and the wish for one dream that a young girl can ever dream for. Accomplished well, Cirque Du Soleil took quite a profit for the show.
ChristophShowsEnt writes shows like this, but adds the middle line of mystique as well. Keeping with the plot, we build a story from beginning to end and stay with the story not losing the viewers in the middle or tagging along to see if they can catch up. Though Cirque Du Soleil has a plot, they seem to not have substance for the rest of the sequences though it is filled with fantastic and death defying acts done by real people. I applaud all involved with this production because I know that there was a lot of work, special effects, camera shots, and different things that made the film work. Now I encourage anyone reading this to go to ChristophShowsEnt, work with me and my shows to see how we can make it better.
ChristophShowsEnt is involved in writing and producing immersive storylines and shows for the stage. The kind of shows he writes are not typical shows. They are designed for total immersion and audience enhanced experience. This means that when the audience walks out and away from the performance, a sort of "culture shock" feeling creeps into their mind because they've been so absorbed in the worlds created for them to enjoy. From the time a ticket buyer purchases a ticket, the immersion process begins. It goes on and builds from the first minute until they exit your auditorium.
The shows written have action, love, drama, music, performance, dynamic sound, and visual effects that make settings that come through in a "Movie-like" storyline. They have unmistakable elements in them with everything from fantasy, historic, and normal life settings. Each story expands to create a wonderful, magical, and fulfilling experience for the audience who will not only watch, but see the activity of the performance around them, and feels the true vibration of the story as it happens.
