A classic

Since this movie is such a huge classic, of course, I really had to watch it at some point. Eventually, it did really live up to its reputation as it was really a magical movie with a huge budget for that time. Indeed, the decors, the costumes, the special effects, the switch from black and white to colour, it all looked pretty awesome. Even though I have never been a huge of musicals, the songs were decent enough and I was even familiar with some of them, even before watching this flick, which shows of how influential this movie has always been. Still, even if I did admire the work done, I can’t say I was really blown away by the damned thing. On one hand, the whole thing was probably slightly too sugercoated for my taste and maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had watched it back then when I was a kid. On the other hand, I guess it is just a matter of taste and the fact that I always had a hard time to care for this genre might explain that I wasn’t really impressed by this movie. Anyway, to conclude, it remains a huge classic and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are a fan of the genre.
