With a sad mood and touching melody, the song expresses the longing for Grizebella's memories of leaving the Jericho cat tribe and going out to explore, experiencing various hardships and pains in life. The passing of good times, the loss of youth, the sunset, the longing and longing for hometown and relatives are all vividly expressed in the song. Now it has been widely sung and has become a contemporary classic.
During the two hours of watching, I didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics, but mostly observed the characters’ makeup, body language and movements. The actors often prostrate themselves on the ground, which fits the characteristics of cats, especially the actress who plays the female cat, who is naturally charming and unstoppable. The male cat's masculinity and self-satisfaction are reflected in the typical Michael Jackson-like movements of stroking the lower abdomen and shaking the buttocks. As long as everyone kicks their feet, they will be straight, as long as they lie down, they will be soft, as long as they open their hands, they will stretch, as long as they look around, they will be focused. When they see the table full of people, they will not be confused at all. The actors are childish and cute when singing, and some are ferocious. The most rare thing is the expressions, which are so rich and colorful. It’s hard to imagine how they can perform so well. It seems that everyone thinks of themselves as cats. Their expressions are different, but they all have the laziness of cats and their eyes are not wide open. , and as soon as it was opened, it was full of light, which was frightening. The movements are also light and agile, and combined with the cautious cat face, it is like stepping on flesh pads, making no sound.
The most exciting thing is that there are many characters, but the costumes are not the same. Although they are cat costumes, they are similar to modern characters. There are majestic old men, down-and-out old women, and vicious men. There are dynamic men, there are charming women, there are virtuous women, there are black clothes, white clothes, flower clothes, wealthy people, magicians and so on. What's rare is that the voice of an old female cat in the play is hoarse and the wrinkles on her neck are very obvious. It can be seen that she is played by an old man. She also sings long lyrics, which is very different from that of a man in a big fur robe. The male cats looked at each other from a distance, expressing affection and singing to each other. These old men are worthy of admiration.
Cats have always been considered to be unpredictable and unpredictable animals, but what would it be like if the characters in a drama were all made up of cats? The musical "Cats" is one such work. There are so many cats in "Cats" that you can't count them. I think even if you have watched it many times, you still haven't fully understood it, because there are so many cats in it, and each has its own characteristics. You have to remember them all. Living there is indeed a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the plot of "Cats" is quite simple. If you don't remember the characteristics of the cats, you can still understand the show smoothly. However, if you can understand a little more about each cat, I believe it will definitely make you happy. It’s more interesting to watch
