Made a joke of all those movies that inspired everyone who wanted to get into movies.
Also made a joke of all those involved in making musicals what they were then, and are today.
A good idea, terribly done.
Modern musicals are for the young. The musicals of the past were for the young, and are remembered by those of us still living.
WE have no link to how those musicals are perceived by the young, THEY have no link to how these musicals are perceived by those of us who grew up with them.
The young see them as fun, we see them as they were for us, LIFE. WE don't understand nor want to see THEIR modern musicals, we don't relate to them; as they don't relate to ours, except as musical history.
Even remakes don't make a link because, age tells. A story can only be retold so often, then it's gone. The story should remain with the period, not be rehashed.
