"You seem to not understand the difference in the mediums. When you give a stage performance on film, you end up with crap....."
jimmycurry01, I exactly understand the difference between the mediums. I am not talking about a "stage performance" on film. I'm talking about excellent singing on film. I'm talking about Samantha Barks that makes the scenes in the trailer soar and makes me shiver and Amanda Seyfried does not, because she looks like a good actress that struggles with singing.
What has "good singing on film" got to do with a "stage performance"? Why does one thing have to exclude the other?
The only thing that is crap, is if someone does not master the art of combining excellent singing with excellent acting. Because only then the performance in a movie musical will feel real.
You are talking about balance. That is right. If one of those 2 things (acting or singing) is not excellent enough, it is out of balance. Which is the case with Amanda Seyfried and Russel Crowe.
