Regardless of the countless advantages they may hold, similarly to any other high profile genre of art, the musical’s fame and fortune has regrettably spawned numerous…

    Dialogue in 1930s and 1940s’ Hollywood Films According to Bhullar’s experiment of testing intensity of emotions with AV(auditory-visual), VO(visual-only) and AO(auditory-only), audience perceived greater intensity of tested emotions, which were happiness and sadness, in AV speeches than those of VO and AO alone (Bhullar 193). Clearly, scientific evidence reinforces the cause of the storm of talkies. That is, dialogue conveys and augments the moods within the film, which directly influences audience’s perceptions. James O. Spearing once wrote in Now the Movies Go Back to Their School Days , “...when screen actors began to speak lines, the silent drama was attacked. Voices invaded its peculiar domain” (Spadoni 4).…

    The documentary we watched in class along with reading from the “Great White Way” and “Showtime” gave me a good sense of how and why the modern musical came to be the important cultural platform it is today. The modern musical came to be as a result of American’s creating the need for an art form that was both entertaining and provacative while still remaining accessible to a wide range of audiences. In Europe, operas and operettas served this purpose but American’s perceived that art form as something only for the high class and educated which made it inaccessible to a wider audience. In order to achieve this the entertainment for a wide rage of audiences had to evolve from an entertainment only art, to an art that made people think and question society. One of biggest successes of musical theatre was in the civil rights movement by giving a much needed platform to showcase black people and black culture.…

    Music played a major part in African American history because it expressed emotions and feelings from the white oppressor through words. Africans spoke tales or poems during slavery to symbolize the power of the common people over unjust rulers and using them to “portray the ability of slaves to outsmart and ridicule their masters” (pg. 61). During the Antebellum period between 1820-1861, African Americans in Philadelphia wrote music and performed it in the orchestra. One of the best female singers of the period was Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield. She was born a slave but known as the “Black Swan, Taylor gained renown for her vocal range” (pg. 148).…

    The Jazz Singer explicitly shows Jewish religion and tradition. For Jakie Rabinowitz, the film follows his attempts to successful navigate his ethnic upbringing and modern ‘American’ life. This conflict between tradition and modernity is seen through his interactions with his parents throughout the film. Through the negotiation of old world tradition and new world modernity, it is clear that racial and ethnic relations, while progressive for the era, were held back by the conflicts and prejudices of those bound to regressive racial attitudes. The navigation of these identities and the conflict between traditional and modern take center stage in what is a historical film that is much more than a piece on white/black…
