In Chicago, the audience discovers that the inmates come from a diverse background, as is the case in the “Jailhouse Tango.” These characters (in their dream-like state of mind) find common association with one another, as they have similar lifestyles and essentially want the same things out of life, but they differ in heritage. In other words, a variety of people migrated to Chicago in the hopes of finding economic prosperity and inevitably find a completely different world within theatre. Theatre, like the movies, allowed the people of Chicago to gather their thoughts on matters besides the loss of mass amounts of money in the stock market.Ĭhicago also explores on the notion of bringing people together from various racial and ethnic upbringings in order to find some common ground together. This concept of slipping away also pertains to the Great Depression and the ways in which people would not allow themselves to become completely stricken with grief after such a loss. In exchange, she builds her self-esteem by slipping into dreams and exploring what alternatives she has at hand. In Chicago, Roxie (Renee Zellwegger) gathers her lowly background where she is uninterested with the drone of day-to-day affairs. Such is the case with Sister Carrie, where Carrie wishes to divert from the rather bleak hours spent at factory jobs in order to partake in the theater. This transition from reality to aspiration is a general mentality that the people of Chicago wished to explore. Doing this allows them to pull away from the everyday monotony and drag of factory work in the case with this movie, however, the characters try to disassociate themselves with the prison scene in order to explore the dreamy theatre background. Characters in this movie tend to step away from reality in order to transfix themselves in a dreamlike state of mind. Brilliant acting on Renee Zellwegger and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s behalves allow the audience to become part of the scene. The effects of theatre shine vibrantly in the movie entitled Chicago.
