The films set in Chicago
Introduction
Chicago, in the state of Illinois, is one of the most exciting cities of all United States. And it is for many reasons. For its history and for its present, for its art and its cultural dynamism, for its skyscrapers and for its parks, its pubs, their restaurants, theaters and museums. Well, all that is reflected in the many film films that have been set here. Chicago in the cinema much of the cinematographic productions about Chicago focus on their past, in their history dominated by famous gangsters. But there are also others that recreate the present and even the future.
Developing
Of all that and much more treat these 10 films that we present here: Let’s start with a movie with the name of the city. Chicago, one of the best musicals that have been recorded in recent decades and that of course moves us to the 30s of the last twentieth century. Of course, through magnificent musical numbers where Hollywood stars surprised with their songs for song and dance. High Fidelity: This 2000 film plays in its title with the quality of Hifi sound and with the idea of fidelity in love. But in addition to the love and youthful story that portrays.
Everyone who sees can be reflected in the idea of making lists with our favorite songs for each occasion. Something that was previously done in cassettes and now in the digital playlist. The Blues Brothers: We continue with musical films related to Chicago and now the turn of The Blues Brothers has arrived. The adventures and performances of two brothers passionate about rock and roll and fun. A classic for those who like good music, with wonderful songs by Aretha Franklin or Ray Charles, among many others. The blow: again a movie in Chicago and with unmistakable music: the blow.
While here what everything remembers is the chemistry between two of the greatest actors in history: Robert Redford and Paul Newman. A more funny story about a big scam, and that develops in the years where bets and liquor were things about the underworld. The untouchables of Elliot Ness: And if we talk about underworld and chicago there is a name that stands out about the rest, that of the mafia al Capone. Well, this movie tells us how a group of police officers forced themselves who had to achieve their arrest. Fantastic and memorable. Especially for the shooting scene in the beautiful union station of the city of Illinois.
One of the world’s most beautiful train stations. Bad Boys: Again a police movie in Chicago, but more modern. A film in which the low funds of the city show us. By the way not to confuse this film starring Sean Penn in 1983, with a later one of identical title in English, Bad Boys, but who translated into Spanish as two rebel police officers. Of which we talk to you in a post dedicated to cinema made in Miami, Florida. Flares: another film inspired by the public servants of the city of Chicago. But now in flares the characters are firefighters.
By the way, in this film comes the actor who made Capone in the untouchables of Elliot Ness. It is none other than Robert de Niro. Only at home: now we are going to mention a movie that is also set in the Chicago, but in reality almost all of it develops inside a home. A huge and beautiful home, which is actually made a ruin after the adventures that little Macaulay Culkin lives. We obviously refer to only at home. I, robot: As we have commented at the beginning, the movies about Chicago tell us their past and their present, but they also serve to speculate with the future.
conclusion
That is what this film tells us that it moves us until 2035, to a dystopian society conceived from the books of the famous writer Isaac Asimov. Better only accompanied: and we will end a film that proposes a trip between two of the most interesting cities in the United States. A trip that takes us from New York to Chicago. A displacement that costs just over two hours by plane, but that for the protas of this tape is extended for several days of the most rugged and comic. Perfect to laugh for a while and travel with the imagination in these times of Coronavirus in which we still can’t do it otherwise.
