They decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer to a new life. Many compete for the honour including Rum Tum Tugger (Jason Derulo), Jennyanydots (Rebel Wilson), newbie Victoria (Francesca Hayward) and the dastardly Macavity (Idris Elba). And what of the lonely and neglected Grizabella (Jennifer Hudson)?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Within minutes of watching \u2018Cats\u2019, I wanted to leave the theatre. I quite like people, and cats, but these cat-human things that were first introduced in the \u2018Cats\u2019 trailer \u2013 which caused a furore when it was released last July as many experienced the uncanny valley regarding the design of the character \u2013 were seriously weirding me out. They\u2019re singing something about jellicles and all I can think of is the heebie jeebies. In fact, the last time I felt this level of consistent discomfort through a film was \u2018The Shining\u2019, that\u2019s how deep the sense of horror and anticipation that it could get worse ran.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s a cast full of contemporary pop singers such as Jason Derulo and Taylor Swift, as well as world-class dancers and Broadway performers. As a result, the singing and dancing are top notch. However their faces and bodies (human-shaped but disconcertingly naked and furry \u2013 when Idris Elba removes his coat, one is particularly appalled) are so disturbingly weird that one is consistently distracted and can\u2019t settle in to enjoy the performances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-CNN-Taylor-Swift-as-Bombalurina-in-Cats-movie_1576648264202.jpg.jpg.jpg_39747743_ver1.0_640_360.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52053\" src=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-CNN-Taylor-Swift-as-Bombalurina-in-Cats-movie_1576648264202.jpg.jpg.jpg_39747743_ver1.0_640_360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-CNN-Taylor-Swift-as-Bombalurina-in-Cats-movie_1576648264202.jpg.jpg.jpg_39747743_ver1.0_640_360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-CNN-Taylor-Swift-as-Bombalurina-in-Cats-movie_1576648264202.jpg.jpg.jpg_39747743_ver1.0_640_360-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/via-CNN-Taylor-Swift-as-Bombalurina-in-Cats-movie_1576648264202.jpg.jpg.jpg_39747743_ver1.0_640_360-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Derulo fares slightly better than most, perhaps because he puts less effort into acting and moving like a cat than the over-zealous chorus, but most of the numbers, as well as being too strange to enjoy, are just plain dull. You\u2019ve Rebel Wilson making jokes about being fat, rolling around, stretching and scratching her groin (also is it just me, or can she really not sing?), while James Corden just does his singing, joking, generally being oafish, James Corden thing. Hayward, while a beautiful dancer, has little to do aside from fancy ballet moves and a little singing, and while Hudson is extraordinary in her cover of the famous \u2018Memories\u2019, it takes so long to get to the song that it\u2019s hard to be moved. You\u2019ve already well checked out of the movie emotionally and psychologically by that stage, if only to preserve your sanity.<\/p>\n<p>The main issue with \u2018Cats\u2019, in this writer\u2019s opinion anyway, is the chorus, as this is where the creepy cat-person design is more apparent than ever. They move around in a slithering mass akin to the monster of a horror film. One starts to get used to the aesthetic and then someone\u2019s ears or tail will do a weird movement, moving of its own consciousness, and you\u2019re grossed out all over again.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the fact that the narrative just seems to be about introducing characters, they do a little song and dance, then disappear for a while and either blend into the chorus, re-emerge later for another number, or just vanish outright \u2013 which gets incredibly boring, by the way \u2013 there are so many surreal creative decisions in \u2018Cats\u2019 that one finds themselves constantly faced with the question \u201cwhat the hell am I even watching?\u201d There\u2019s the fact that Ray Winstone is in the\u00a0cats\u00a0cast for some reason. He sings one line and then is cut off, because he can\u2019t sing I guess? Then there\u2019s the fact that children play the mice. So does that mean the adult human-cats eat the children-mice? That\u2019s too close to infanticide for comfort. And then there\u2019s the smoothing down of everyone\u2019s umm, parts, which begs further questions about biological functions and you\u2019re sitting there in the cinema thinking, \u201cwhy am I even thinking about this? Amn\u2019t I supposed to be watching a movie?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In summary, \u2018Cats\u2019 is not just as creepy as you think it\u2019ll be, it\u2019s creepier, and you can\u2019t even enjoy it on a \u201cso bad it\u2019s good\u201d level because it\u2019s unbelievably boring as well. It is the most baffling cinematic experience I\u2019ve had in a long time and it just doesn\u2019t need to exist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen_Shot_2019_11_19_at_11.44.37_AM.0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52052\" src=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen_Shot_2019_11_19_at_11.44.37_AM.0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen_Shot_2019_11_19_at_11.44.37_AM.0.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen_Shot_2019_11_19_at_11.44.37_AM.0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen_Shot_2019_11_19_at_11.44.37_AM.0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen_Shot_2019_11_19_at_11.44.37_AM.0-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a cat-astrophe Tom Hooper ActorsIan McKellan, Idris Elba, James Corden, Jason Derulo, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson, Taylor Swift GenreAnimation, Comedy, Drama Running Time109 mins Release DateFriday 20th December 2019 \u2018Cats\u2019 is not just as creepy as you think it\u2019ll be, it\u2019s creepier Once a year, a tribe of cats known as the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":52054,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[45090],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.3 -
