Golddiggers

I can't lie, this movie had me lost for the majority of it. For the entire movie, I was trying to figure out how the play that the girls were doing related to the Great Depression and for the life of me I could not connect the two. I could see the similarities in that people were struggling money wise and that happy families or couples at the beginning of the play were split up due to the fact that the men where away at war. Other than that, I did not see a correlation.
One of the things that I found interesting about this film was the lack of color. The movies of this time were able to have color. I don't understand why this movie did not use color, it seems as if the color would have added so much. Even though the color was lacking, the sound was leaps better than the previous films, characters could be heard clearly and the songs did not crack and the singers voices were pretty good.
Something that caught my attention was when Brad came over to play his music for the producer and the girls and he started playing the piano. It was clear to me that he did not know how to play the piano and was just pretending to push keys. This seems odd because I do not think that producers had the technology to do sound overs or insert certain music into the ongoing scene. So my thoughts were, was there someone else playing the piano at the same time, or was that entire scene lip-synced? I thought that the lip-sync option would probably been too difficult to lip-sync the entire scene and song.
Other than that, I found the plot entertaining and really enjoyed the prank that Dolly's friends played on Brad's brother and the old man. The woman who was supposed to be the comedian and add humor to the film did that sort of, but it did not really work for me, I found her extremely annoying. Overall the movie was pretty good.
