Hello hello dear friends and readers from everywhere; especially, from the US, Germany, the UK, Canada, Switzerland, n Mexico š
My dear 1Zumba friend, there has been many changes lately, I know that for sure, but it is good to keep your style, coz this what makes you stand out among others, if you know what I mean.Ā š
I’m thinking why only few movie musicals attract the crowds. Probably, when it is done so uniquely as this one, it captures your full attention, and gets your real admiration.
I couldn’t leave the room, until the very end. Although it’s a classic musical movie, produced years ago, but yet it was still a masterpiece without doubt, or at least that was how I felt about it.
Watching that movie made wonder how many awards it got. Every single person in that great movie was a real performer and a star withoutĀ doubt.
Even the few moments during which Louis Armstrong appeared were exceptional. Wow! What a cast, what a choreography, music, decoration, sound, voice, camera rolling, directing! Everything seemed perfect!
I thought the thrill I had when I was a kid, watching that movie, would never happen to me again, but, it was 
as if I was watching it for the first time. It gave me all the excitement in the world. In fact, theĀ pleasure I had before was less than what I had yesterday. Ā For now being an adult, I can understand moreĀ all the efforts and work that were put into that kind of project, to comeĀ up with such a stunning musical movie.
The camera never had to follow a single person all the time, and when it was departing the scenes, it was the most smooth and tender closing away from it.
I just love it and willing to see ita thousand times again. What can I say? It was love 
at first sight, so it grew up with me, I guess.
Oh! I never told you the name yet. It’s called “Hello Dolly”. Sure you know it, and sure you watched it many times as I did, and certainly you appreciate it, like any other person who appreciates art and originality.
