Chicago (2002)

This movie is trying to say something about how the modern judicial system is just a series of smoke and mirrors meant to entertain the masses. I think along the way it kind of just says, “forget it let’s just have fun,” and honestly, it was fun.

I was just surprised how surface level this best picture winner was. We’ve had worse, but I’m just got a Musical snuck in there. I know there was something in the water in the early aughts around female empowerment via murder of abusive boyfriends/husbands.
