The 2002 movie Chicago was adapted from Bob Fosse's 1975 Broadway musical, Chicago. It featured A-list actors and actresses varying from Renee Zellweger who played the main character Roxie Hart to Richard Gere who played lawyer Billy Flynn. Some other main characters featured in the movie were Catherine Zeta-Jones who played Velma Kelly and Queen Latifah who played Mama Morton. Chicago was set in the roaring 20's, when tap dancing was a form of entertainment, especially for the rich. The movie begins with Roxie Hart (Zellweger) shooting her unfaithful lover. When she goes to jail she meets Velma Kelly (Zeta |

Before seeing it I didn't think it would be formatted the way this movie was. Velma was and still is famous on Broadway, something that has always been Roxie's dream. It concludes with Roxie and Velma having a duet and Broadway, something that both of these murderers dreamed of. At the end of the movie Billy sets up the prosecuting lawyer to get both Roxie and Velma off the hook. At some points the audience is fooled into thinking that her dreams are actually happening in the movie. He made it look very easy, but now that I've learned it I know that it is not as easy as it looks. Once Billy takes over her case she finds herself in the spotlight, something that she has always dreamed of. He has never lost a case, and supposedly he can win any case for only 5000 dollars. It was directed in a way that made the audience understand that most of the actual dancing in the movie was done in daydreams by Roxie. Velma loves the media attention she is getting, and her infamous lawyer, Billy Flynn (Gere), is determined to get her out. One of the best scenes featured in the movie is when lawyer, Billy Flynn, performs a tap dance routine. One of the most obvious steps that he uses is the cramp roll. The final scene of the movie is the first performance that is not a daydream.
