Musical film - Wikipedia. The musical film is a film genre in which songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing. The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film's characters, though in some cases they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate "production numbers". The musical film was a natural development of the stage musical after the emergence of sound film technology.

Typically, the biggest difference between film and stage musicals is the use of lavish background scenery and locations that would be impractical in a theater. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theater; performers often treat their song and dance numbers as if there is a live audience watching. In a sense, the viewer becomes the diegetic audience, as the performer looks directly into the camera and performs to it.

Vitaphone shorts were made, many featuring bands, vocalists, and dancers. The earliest feature- length films with synchronized sound had only a soundtrack of music and occasional sound effects that played while the actors portrayed their characters just as they did in silent films: without audible dialogue.[1]The Jazz Singer, released in 1. Warner Brothers, was the first to include an audio track including non- diegetic music and diegetic music, but it had only a short sequence of spoken dialogue.

This feature- length film was also a musical, featuring Al Jolson singing "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face", "Toot, Toot, Tootsie", "Blue Skies", and "My Mammy". Historian Scott Eyman wrote, "As the film ended and applause grew with the houselights, Sam Goldwyn's wife Frances looked around at the celebrities in the crowd.

She saw 'terror in all their faces', she said, as if they knew that 'the game they had been playing for years was finally over'."[2] Still, only isolated sequences featured "live" sound; most of the film had only a synchronous musical score.[1] In 1. Warner Brothers followed this up with another Jolson part- talkie, The Singing Fool, which was a blockbuster hit.[1] Theaters scrambled to install the new sound equipment and to hire Broadway composers to write musicals for the screen.[3] The first all- talking feature, Lights of New York, included a musical sequence in a night club. The enthusiasm of audiences was so great that in less than a year all the major studios were making sound pictures exclusively.

The Broadway Melody (1. Advertised by MGM as the first "All- Talking, All- Singing, All- Dancing" feature film, it was a hit and won the Academy Award for Best Picture for 1. There was a rush by the studios to hire talent from the stage to star in lavishly filmed versions of Broadway hits. The Love Parade (Paramount 1.

The most popular film of 1. Gold Diggers of Broadway (1.

This film broke all box office records and remained the highest- grossing film ever produced until 1. Suddenly, the market became flooded with musicals, revues, and operettas. The following all- color musicals were produced in 1.

The Show of Shows (1. Sally (1. 92. 9), The Vagabond King (1. Follow Thru (1. 93. Bright Lights (1. Golden Dawn (1. 93. Hold Everything (1. The Rogue Song (1.

Viennese Nights (1. Kiss Me Again (1. In addition, there were scores of musical features released with color sequences. Hollywood released more than 1. By late 1. 93. 0, audiences had been oversaturated with musicals and studios were forced to cut the music from films that were then being released. For example, Life of the Party (1. Before it was released, however, the songs were cut out.

The same thing happened to Fifty Million Frenchmen (1. Manhattan Parade (1. Technicolor. Marlene Dietrich sang songs successfully in her films, and Rodgers and Hart wrote a few well- received films, but even their popularity waned by 1. The public had quickly come to associate color with musicals and thus the decline in their popularity also resulted in a decline in color productions. Busby Berkeley[edit]The taste in musicals revived again in 1.

Busby Berkeley began to enhance the traditional dance number with ideas drawn from the drill precision he had experienced as a soldier during World War I. In films such as 4. Street and Gold Diggers of 1. Berkeley choreographed a number of films in his unique style. Berkeley's numbers typically begin on a stage but gradually transcend the limitations of theatrical space: his ingenious routines, involving human bodies forming patterns like a kaleidoscope, could never fit onto a real stage and the intended perspective is viewing from straight above.[5]Musical stars[edit]Musical stars such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were among the most popular and highly respected personalities in Hollywood during the classical era; the Fred and Ginger pairing was particularly successful, resulting in a number of classic films, such as Top Hat (1.

Swing Time (1. 93. Shall We Dance (1. Many dramatic actors gladly participated in musicals as a way to break away from their typecasting. For instance, the multi- talented James Cagney had originally risen to fame as a stage singer and dancer, but his repeated casting in "tough guy" roles and mob films gave him few chances to display these talents. Cagney's Oscar- winning role in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1.

Many comedies (and a few dramas) included their own musical numbers. The Marx Brothers' films included a musical number in nearly every film, allowing the Brothers to highlight their musical talents.

Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer headed by Arthur Freed made the transition from old- fashioned musical films, whose formula had become repetitive, to something new. However, they also produced Technicolor remakes of such musicals as Show Boat, which had previously been filmed in the 1.

In 1. 93. 9, Freed was hired as associate producer for the film Babes in Arms. Starting in 1. 94. Meet Me in St. Louis, the Freed Unit worked somewhat independently of its own studio to produce some of the most popular and well- known examples of the genre. The products of this unit include Easter Parade (1. On the Town (1. 94.

An American in Paris (1. Singin' in the Rain (1. The Band Wagon (1. This era saw musical stars become household names, including Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Ann Miller, Donald O'Connor, Cyd Charisse, Mickey Rooney, Vera- Ellen, Jane Powell, Howard Keel, and Kathryn Grayson.

The post- classical era[edit]In the 1. Audiences for them lessened and fewer musical films were produced as the genre became less mainstream and more specialized. The 1. 96. 0s musical[edit]In the 1.

Inception - Wikipedia. Inception is a 2.

Christopher Nolan, and co- produced by Emma Thomas. The film stars Leonardo Di. Caprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious, and is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased as payment for a seemingly impossible task: "inception", the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious.[4] The ensemble cast additionally includes Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon- Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, and Michael Caine. After the 2. 00. 2 completion of Insomnia, Nolan presented to Warner Bros. Deciding he needed more experience before tackling a production of this magnitude and complexity, Nolan retired the project and instead worked on 2. Batman Begins, 2. The Prestige, and The Dark Knight in 2.

The treatment was revised over 6 months and was purchased by Warner in February 2. Inception was filmed in six countries, beginning in Tokyo on June 1.

Canada on November 2. Its official budget was US$1. Warner Bros and Legendary.[9] Nolan's reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the film's $1. Inception's première was held in London on July 8, 2. IMAX theaters began on July 1.

A box office success, Inception grossed over $8. The home video market also had strong results, with $6. DVD and Blu- ray sales.

Inception opened to acclaim from critics, who praised its story, score, and ensemble cast.[1. It won four Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects, and was nominated for four more: Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Score. Plot. Dominick "Dom" Cobb and Arthur are "extractors", who perform corporate espionage using an experimental military technology to infiltrate the subconscious of their targets and extract valuable information through a shareddream world.

Their latest target, Japanese businessman Saito, reveals that he arranged their mission himself to test Cobb for a seemingly impossible job: planting an idea in a person's subconscious, or "inception". To break up the energyconglomerate of ailing competitor Maurice Fischer, Saito wants Cobb to convince Fischer's son and heir, Robert, to dissolve his father's company. In return, Saito promises to use his influence to clear Cobb of a murder charge, allowing Cobb to return home to his children. Cobb accepts the offer and assembles his team: Eames, a conman and identity forger; Yusuf, a chemist who concocts a powerful sedative for a stable "dream within a dream" strategy; and Ariadne, an architecture student tasked with designing the labyrinth of the dream landscapes, recruited with the help of Cobb's father- in- law, Professor Stephen Miles. While dream- sharing with Cobb, Ariadne learns his subconscious houses an invasive projection of his late wife Mal. When the elder Fischer dies in Sydney, Robert Fischer accompanies the body on a ten- hour flight back to Los Angeles, which the team (including Saito, who wants to verify their success) uses as an opportunity to sedate and take Fischer into a shared dream.

At each dream level, the person generating the dream stays behind to set up a "kick" that will be used to awaken the other sleeping team members from the deeper dream level; to be successful, these kicks must occur simultaneously at each dream level, a fact complicated due to the nature of time which flows much faster in each successive level. The first level is Yusuf's dream of a rainy Los Angeles. The team abducts Fischer, but they are attacked by armed projections from Fischer's subconscious, which has been specifically trained to defend him against such intruders. The team takes Fischer and a wounded Saito to a warehouse, where Cobb reveals that while dying in the dream would normally wake Saito up, the powerful sedatives needed to stabilize the multi- level dream will instead send a dying dreamer into "limbo", a world of infinite subconscious from which escape is extremely difficult, if not almost impossible, and a dreamer risks forgetting they are in a dream. Despite these setbacks, the team continues with the mission. Eames impersonates Fischer's godfather, Peter Browning, to suggest Fischer reconsider his father's will.

Yusuf drives the van as the other dreamers are sedated into the second level. In the second level, a hotel dreamed by Arthur, Cobb persuades Fischer that he has been kidnapped by Browning and Cobb is his subconscious protector.

Cobb persuades him to go down another level to explore Browning's subconscious (in reality, it is a ruse to enter Fischer's). The third level is a fortified hospital on a snowy mountain dreamed by Eames. The team has to infiltrate it and hold off the guards as Cobb takes Fischer into the equivalent of his subconscious.

Yusuf, under pursuit by Fischer's projections in the first level, deliberately drives off a bridge and initiates his kick too soon. This causes an avalanche in Eames' level and removes the gravity of Arthur's level, forcing him to improvise a new kick synchronized with the van hitting the water. Mal's projection emerges and kills Fischer; Cobb kills Mal, and Saito succumbs to his wounds. Cobb and Ariadne enter Limbo to rescue Fischer and Saito, while Eames sets up a kick by rigging the hospital with explosives. Cobb reveals to Ariadne that he and Mal went to Limbo while experimenting with the dream- sharing technology. Sedated for a few hours of real time, they spent fifty years in a dream constructing a world from their shared memories. When Mal refused to return to reality, Cobb used a rudimentary form of inception by reactivating her totem (an object dreamers use to distinguish dreams from reality) and reminding her subconscious that their world was not real.

However, when she woke up, Mal still believed that she was dreaming. In an attempt to "wake up" for real, Mal committed suicide and framed Cobb for her death to force him to do the same. Facing a murder charge, Cobb fled the U. S., leaving his children in the care of Professor Miles.

Through his confession, Cobb makes peace with his guilt over Mal's death. Ariadne kills Mal's projection and wakes Fischer up with a kick. Revived at the mountain hospital, Fischer enters a safe room to discover and accept the planted idea: a projection of his dying father telling him to be his own man.

While Cobb remains in Limbo to search for Saito, the other team members ride the synchronized kicks back to reality. Cobb eventually finds an aged Saito in Limbo and reminds him of their agreement. The dreamers all awake on the plane and Saito makes a phone call. Upon arrival at Los Angeles Airport, Cobb passes the U. S. immigration checkpoint and Professor Miles accompanies him to his home. Using his totem—a spinning top that spins indefinitely in a dream world but falls over in reality—Cobb conducts a test to prove that he is indeed in the real world, but he ignores its result and instead joins his children in the garden.
