They both reached for the gun

In the beginning of the film Chicago, Roxie is seen as a nobody. She wants to become famous by puting on her own show. Things turn out a little differently though. Roxie becomes famous because she murders a man. From this point forward, undesirable actions seemed to be one of the most prominent themes in the film. In my opinion, I thought it was fine that the undesirable actions were glamorized. First of all, it's a musical, and in musicals things are mostly over the top. It wasn't like the movie was very graphic or anything. It's more of a creative technique than anything else. A great example of this is the scene where the cast performs the song "Cell Block Tango." Instead of real blood gushing all over the place, red tissues were used. That's basically harmless. It also made the film more interesting. If these actions weren't glamorized, there woudn't have been much of a story.

When you look at the film Chicago, the unacceptable actions displayed in the film was the thing that made it exciting to watch. It's different from what we usually see in the average musical, which is why it was so great.
