Question for my fellow Cinephiles

which brings up another question. Why are musicals so polarizing. I enjoyed Annie when I was a kid. Wizard of Oz is probably my favorite movie of all time. But I can’t really think of another one I enjoyed. If you are acting and suddenly the whole set breaks out in song and dance, my suspension of disbelief is toast. Why can’t I buy into This being normal life behavior?

I had the same problem when I lived in NYC, and I'd be walking though Grand Central Station and not ONCE did the crowd suddenly burst out into choreographed song. Lotta ******** if you ask me.
