The costumes were great and the performance of all the actors and actresses was amazing. The soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard. I liked how music of the '20's was mixed with modern music, bridging the gap between past and present and showing the connection between jazz, and rap and hip hop, which I think were originally inspired by jazz. Jazz was looked down upon and thought loud and obnoxious in the '20's, whereas the same applies to rap now (although I disagree with that). It makes a nice comparison. My favorite songs on the soundtrack were Over the Love, Love is Blindness, and Young and Beautiful.Banríon An Gheimhridhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898509697858420592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833418224175267236.post-58401306673296966702013-05-16T11:55:26.194-04:002013-05-16T11:55:26.194-04:00I really didn't expect to like it either, but ...I really didn't expect to like it either, but I was pleasantly surprised.
