Movie Reviews of Mahogany
Movie Review: The GREATEST ending EVER in a FILM
Summary: 5 Stars
No One could come close to Diana Ross when this movie came out.She had the World at her feet,and she went for it.This movie showed all of her talents,Her acting,singing,and glamour.
This movie is about a struggling fashion worker becoming the top model of the world .
"The theme from Mahogany" is probally one of my favorite songs from Ross.Do you know where your going to? That says it all.
The part I LOVE most about this movie is the ending.I've never seen a MORE happier ending ever in my life.I will never understand WHY Diana Ross didn't become a HUGE movie star after "Lady Sings the blues," and "Mahogany."
Summary of Mahogany
Ross stars as a Chicago secretary who becomes an internationally acclaimed model and fashion designer.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG
Release Date: 1-MAY-2007
Media Type: DVD
One simple question, people: Do you know where you're goin' to? And furthermore, Do you like the things that life is showin' you? These questions are posed in the unavoidable theme song (a huge Seventies hit) from Mahogany, a splashy, diva-sized vehicle for Diana Ross. Miss Ross was hot off her unexpected and critically approved starring role in Lady Sings the Blues when she embarked on this musical, a rags-to-riches saga of a Chicago girl who dreams of being a fashion designer but becomes a supermodel instead. Original director Tony Richardson was replaced behind the camera by Motown founder and puppetmaster supreme Berry Gordy, who knew something about turning Ross into an idealized vision of femininity (for more on their relationship, check out the fictionalized version in Dreamgirls).
Ross looks a little overwhelmed by the plot machinations, which take her from the orbit of a regular-guy activist (Billy Dee Williams) into the glam world of European fashion--the latter courtesy of a cranky, unstable photographer played by Anthony Perkins. Perkins is sky-high fun in this thing, as though he suspected the movie was in trouble and decided to let the tics and nerviness fly. These days Mahogany is treasured either as a fond childhood memory or as a ripe camp-fest, and that's probably about where it belongs. Still, it looks positively restrained next to the other big diva musical of the same historical moment, Barbra Streisand's 1976 A Star is Born. --Robert Horton
