Taylor Swift looks magnificent and the quality of the sound is wonderful.
Worthing Connaught Theatre & Cinema的点评
点评:The film ‘Party of a showgirl’ to promote Taylor Swift’s latest album ‘Life of a showgirl’ uses clever digital cinematic techniques to deliver several MTV style ‘pop’ videos, supplemented with ‘behind the scenes’ production peeks.
Averaging an album every two years, this is Taylor Swift’s twelfth album in her 20 year ‘slow and steady’ career.
Although in places the film lacked ‘sparkle’ - with too much emphasis on digital image stretching and crushing - Taylor pays warm and sincere homage to the ingenious cinematic techniques of Alfred Hitchcock and Jack Cardiff; and the artistic brilliance of Busby Berkeley; George Michael; and Elizabeth Taylor as Taylor explains in an affectionate intimate way her rationale and meaning behind each song.
One good point is that our local HMV music store carried the album in vinyl and 24-bit CD format so you could instantly indulge in the songs as soon as you watched the show. However – after enquiring at the store – I was informed that the music VIDEOS, or the film, will not be available on DVD or BluRay – which – considering how much time, money, and effort was spent to produce the videos and create this ‘one show only’ film – shows that Taylor Swift’s promo and marketing team have ‘missed a trick’ by not making the music videos available on digital media.
Who would want to listen to SOUNDTRACKS of FILMS that feature the spectacular dances of Busby Berkeley; The Nicholson brothers; Fred Astaire; Eleanor Powell; Gene Kelly; and Donald O’Connor – tripping the light fantastic to the music of Harry Warren, Cole Porter, and Irvin Berlin - when you can SEE the magic? With few exceptions, records and CDs are ‘dead in the water’ – take a look – the charity shops are full of them.
翻译:为宣传泰勒·斯威夫特最新专辑《歌舞女郎的生活》而制作的电影《歌舞女郎派对》巧妙地运用了数字电影技术,打造了多部MTV风格的“流行”MV,并辅以“幕后”制作花絮。
泰勒·斯威夫特平均每两年发行一张专辑,这是她20年“慢节奏”职业生涯中的第十二张专辑。
尽管影片在某些地方缺乏“亮点”——过于强调数字图像的拉伸和压缩——但泰勒热情而真诚地向阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克和杰克·卡迪夫的巧妙电影技术,以及巴斯比·伯克利、乔治·迈克尔和伊丽莎白·泰勒的艺术才华致敬,泰勒以充满深情的亲切方式解释了每首歌曲背后的理念和意义。
值得一提的是,我们当地的HMV唱片店同时销售这张专辑的黑胶唱片和24位CD版本,因此您可以在观看演出后立即沉浸于歌曲之中。然而,在店里询问后,我被告知这些音乐视频,或者说电影,不会以DVD或蓝光形式发行。考虑到制作这些视频和这部“仅此一场”的电影耗费了多少时间、金钱和精力,这说明泰勒·斯威夫特的宣传和营销团队没有将这些音乐视频制作成数字媒体,真是“失策”。
谁会想听那些以巴斯比·伯克利、尼科尔森兄弟、弗雷德·阿斯泰尔、埃莉诺·鲍威尔、吉恩·凯利和唐纳德·奥康纳的精彩舞蹈为特色的电影原声带呢?在哈里·沃伦、科尔·波特和欧文·柏林的音乐中,他们轻盈地跳着梦幻的舞步——而你却能亲眼见证其中的魔力?除了少数例外,唱片和CD都“死气沉沉”——看看吧——慈善商店里到处都是。
