A strangely forceful hold on me': why Burlesque is my feelgood movie
Briefly

Unlike many cinephiles, I’m not a chronic re-watcher. But exceptions exist, like The Zone of Interest, which compelled me to visit the cinema multiple times.
Burlesque holds a strangely forceful charm despite its lack of complexities. It has somehow become a comfort film enduring through various life events, highlighting our unique tastes.
Against the tide of criticism, Burlesque thrives on its own merits, drawing comparisons to iconic musicals. Its appeal lies in its colorful nostalgia and captivating performances.
Even through challenges, such as losing my DVD collection, that lone copy of Burlesque remains—a testament to its unexpected significance and the bond it creates.
