The movie "Rhapsody in Blue" is one of the Disney musical animated series "Fantasia 2000". It is produced based on the music of different tracks and the stories imagined by the animators based on the music.

"Rhapsody in Blue" is said to have been composed by Gershwin during his trip to Bolton. He later described it this way: "It was in the car, and you could hear the sonorous rhythm and rumbling." The crashing sound... I often hear music in the depths of the noise. Right there, I suddenly construct it from the beginning - very vividly on the paper -..."

And the cadenza in the score. The improvisational works that were reserved for the premiere included blues music originating from American labor songs and spirituals.

The animation begins with the vibrato of a clarinet, and the mid-horn is added as the range rises, outlining the appearance of the city with simple lines. As the music melody unfolds, the city melody also sounds.

In a busy city, the protagonists are four ordinary people, a black construction worker who loves to play drums, a girl who was deprived of her childhood, an unemployed person, and a husband who is oppressed by his wife.

A black man with a drumstick in his hand woke up. He turned on the alarm clock and realized the urgency of time. With the addition of percussion and urging rhythm, he began to wash and change clothes.

The piano makes the music gentle, and the vision moves downstairs, where a kitten secretly drinks milk.

As the sound of the piano intensified, the black man at the beginning began to jump quickly between the stairs

While running, he caught a newspaper truck and accidentally dropped a newspaper, which read With unemployment rising.

The scene shifts to a man with a green face wearing a dark green suit in a cafe. Behind him is the subway station. As the piano speeds up from time to time, the busy crowd changes dramatically. During working hours Having time to drink coffee, we can guess that this gentleman is unemployed.

While paying, he found that he could not hold up a cup of coffee.

The crowded people on the subway jump to the rhythm of the music. The accent of the music is closely connected with people's movements, making the music enhance the visual effect of the picture.

In the entire film, exaggerated movements, strong colors, and humorous and ironic shooting techniques make it an organic unity of art and connotation.

At the end of the animation, the music becomes soothing and beautiful, the orchestra's symphonic sound is brilliant, the picture becomes wider, the city becomes warm, and everything seems to be getting better.

The drummer fantasized about standing on the stage, the girl fantasized about getting along with her parents warmly, the rich man got his freedom, and the unemployed got a job.

In "Rhapsody in Blue", rhapsody is also a fantasy. People are extremely busy in this city. Their dreams of bread are swallowed up, but people's hearts are still full of expectations and fantasies.

In the film, the four people reflect different social phenomena. The appearance of the rich is often compared with animals, such as his wife’s dog and the monkey on the roadside. This may be the United States in the 1920s, World War I The economy was developing rapidly when China and the United States made war profits, but the cruelty of the war had an indelible impact on people, including the emergence of hedonism, confusion of ideals, and lack of humanitarianism.

Girls who have lost their childhood memories because of their parents who hope that their daughters will succeed symbolize the fierce competition in society.

A construction worker who wanders around his ideals because of reality.

The sad unemployed are the epitome of the Great Depression.

Everyone is a common person who is controlled by life, but there are still fireworks in their hearts
