You're last point about musical movies really hit home for me. I never thought about how often (famous) musicals are about rich white people doing rich white people things. I've never had a problem with the concept of musical numbers in film, but I've certainly noticed that the majority of musicals only use that expressive power to further a preconceived idea of what the "golden era" of Hollywood was. I could never put a finger on why that bothered me until now, so thank you. (Also I'd just like to point out that the desparity, both in form and content, between klein's and flag's comments made me chuckle a little bit)
