Xanadu (1980)
Why is a 'magical musical's such an inane idea?
Throughout the years, I have always considered myself a champion of the underdog. That is why I find it so hard to believe that so many people have panned.movies like 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", 'The Apple', and especially,, 'Xanadu'.
Now, I know that people love to watch the old-fashioned musicals of the 40's & 50's for the nostalgia that they were used to. But times have changed, and so should the viewing of such musical extravaganzas like the aforementioned as 'puerile' and 'juvenile nonsense', and,, more often than not, 'schlock' The creators of these films are like.curators of an ancient form of entertainment that we should all be happy to see return. In these days of depressing news, increasing violence and moral decay, shouldn't we all strive for better entertainment?
