I can watch almost any musical repeatedly as there is always some nuance or detail I haven't noticed before. Each viewing brings its own pleasure. Perhaps a lyric that I hear differently, or a bit of choreography that catches my attention. At the top of my all time list is the Wizard of Oz. It's been a while since I've watched...perhaps a year or two, so I'm thrilled it's on our recommended list for the first week. It had been on watch again soon list.
Lately I have been paying a lot of attention to set design in my TV and film viewing, especially interiors. I like to see what's in a room, what's on a table, how is the furniture placed, etc. With this next viewing I expect my mind may take me there. It will be fun to notice how the dancers navigate the set, how things are used in the story, or maybe not used. How it all comes together to create the magical whole.
Oh, and I expect that I will try and notice the "Foley" art now, too. I feel like I should have know this term...but it was new to me. Foley Grail...ah...I get it now. Ha! Off to get the book.
