Capra tells us that, in effect, love's dreams are only dreams and that they will never quite bear translation into practical forms of relationship and expression. They will never be realized in the world but only in our consciousness and in our most daring and glorious works of art - but that, for Capra, is no reason to abandon love's dreams.
--Ray Carney, American Vision: The Films Of Frank Capra

Regarding a previous post -- a film version of Chicago was in the works in 1980, with Goldie Hawn and Liza Minnelli sought for the lead roles with Fosse behind the camera.  Then, in the mid-80's, Fosse talked to Madonna about possibly doing Chicago.  Of course, it took more than two decades to get the film off the ground.  The mid-90's Broadway revival didn't hurt, along with the success of Moulin Rouge, and the cajones of les freres Weinstein.

2000 was a vastly underrated year, and it will take a decade to fully appreciate how rich in quality it was.  I recall in 1975, a prominent film critic said that "1975 wasn't a bad year, it was a terrible year."  And yet in 2000, USA Today used 1975 as a benchmark of excellence in order to say how terrible 2000 was.  In other words, the critics in 1975 didn't realize they were living in a golden age of film.  I would argue that the mid-90's to 2000 were another golden age (and 2002 and 2003 were darned good, so perhaps the golden age is continuing to this very day).
