"Lullaby of Broadway" is a #popular #song with music written by #HarryWarren and lyrics by #AlDubin, published in 1935.

Emilia Pérez: A Musical That Stole My Heart and Shook My Soul
Sometimes a movie does more than entertain—it transforms you. For me, Emilia Pérez was that movie. Directed by Jacques Audiard and brought to life by powerhouse performances from Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Selena Gomez, this film transcends storytelling to become an unforgettable experience.
I laughed. I cried—a lot. And I lay awake, reflecting on life, identity, and the relentless pursuit of happiness. At the heart of it all is Manitas, a character so desperate to live authentically that the duality of their existence was slowly eroding their spirit. The whispered song scene, where Manitas pours out their wish to Rita, was a gut punch like no other. It wasn’t just a plot device—it was the moment the entire story cracked open for me.
That song was the soul of the movie. As I listened, it hit me: this film isn’t about heroes and villains. It’s about the lengths we go to in order to embrace our true selves. The beauty of Emilia Pérez is its raw exploration of authenticity and the sacrifices it demands.
And then, there’s the music. Every song resonated deeply, tugging at emotions I didn’t even know I had buried. The soundtrack isn’t just background noise—it’s an emotional vehicle that guides you through every beat of the story.
Even Selena Gomez, who lost her connection to Spanish in childhood, reclaimed it on screen. She delivered lines, full sentences, and monologues in Spanish, embodying her real-life journey of embracing her Mexican heritage. Gomez has spoken about reconnecting with her roots as a way of becoming whole, and this narrative seamlessly aligns with the themes of the film. It’s a powerful meta-layer to the story, underscoring how identity and self-discovery transcend the screen.
At its core, Emilia Pérez is about the universal right to be yourself and find happiness. It celebrates courage and transformation while delving into the messy, often painful, consequences of dishonesty. The film brilliantly balances lighthearted musical numbers with hard-hitting emotional truths, creating an experience that’s equal parts heartwarming and heart-wrenching.
Karla Sofía Gascón’s portrayal of Juan “Manitas” Del Monte’s transition into Emilia Pérez is nothing short of Oscar-worthy. Her performance is layered with vulnerability, strength, and grace, making Emilia’s journey both deeply personal and universally relatable. It’s impossible not to root for her—and I sincerely hope she earns the recognition she deserves come awards season.
The message of Emilia Pérez is simple yet profound: the fight for authenticity and happiness is worth it, even when the road is fraught with sacrifice and hard truths. This film will make you laugh, cry, think, and maybe even see the world a little differently.
So, have you seen Emilia Pérez? I’d love to hear your thoughts. What moment stuck with you? Did the songs reach into your soul as they did mine? Let’s talk about it.

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Director: Frank Oz
Starring: Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Levi Stubbs, Steve Martin
Amazon Prime (UK)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unironically one of the best screen musicals, and one of the 80s’ best comedy films. Moranis at his height. Ellen Greene is just perfect. And Frank Oz marshalling some quality muppety fun throughout.
