A Tale of Two Dames
Let's talk about the heart and soul of this flick: Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly. These two ladies are basically the original influencers, except instead of sponsored posts, they’re vying for headlines. Roxie, our starry-eyed dreamer, shoots her lover and ends up in the clink. Velma, the seasoned pro, is already there for a double homicide. Both ladies have a burning desire for fame, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get it.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
All That Jazz (and Murder)
Now, Chicago isn’t your typical crime drama. It's a musical! That’s right, folks. These ladies are belting out tunes while they await their fate. It’s like Glee meets Law & Order, but with way more sequins.
QuickTip: Skim the ending to preview key takeaways.
The plot is basically a catfight for the ages, set against the backdrop of the roaring twenties. It’s a tale of ambition, betrayal, and the power of the media. And did I mention the killer dance numbers? Because they’re killer.

Behind the Scenes Shenanigans
You can’t talk about Chicago without giving a shoutout to the incredible cast. Ren�e Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones absolutely slay as Roxie and Velma. Richard Gere as the smarmy lawyer? Pure gold. And let’s not forget Queen Latifah as the prison matron – she brings the house down.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
How to... Chicago
- How to appreciate the irony: Chicago is a musical about murder. Isn’t that just chef’s kiss?
- How to dance like you mean it: Watch the movie and try to replicate the moves. Just don’t try this at home if you’re holding a gun.
- How to dress like a flapper: Channel your inner Roxie or Velma with some feathers, beads, and a short dress.
- How to avoid jail time: Probably best not to kill your husband or lover. Just sayin’.
- How to handle fame: If you ever find yourself in the spotlight, remember: even the most glamorous life has its downsides.
So, there you have it. Chicago is a wild ride through the glamorous and gritty underbelly of the Jazz Age. It’s a movie that will make you laugh, cry, and want to break out into song.
