The movie musical: a genre that used to hold intense gravitas and importance in the film diet, but now stands as a sort of underrepresented and undervalued trapping of the modern IP glut. Movie stars and up-and-comers alike would flock to doing a big, Hollywood musical in order to take their careers to the next level. Nowadays, movie musicals often don't even register as event films to the public. Increasingly, people deign to call movie musicals "unrealistic" or "melodramatic," citing the fact that people spontaneously burst out into song to be some type of demarcation on the films quality.
