! It's like, history comes alive through Amanda's eyes and dance moves. I'm literally counting down the days until Christmas to see this movie 
I mean, I'm not surprised Amanda Seyfried went through all that for the role, she is known for her method acting style after all 
. But 100 minutes of music and dance movements? That's just excessive 
Still, I'm curious to see how Seyfried pulls this off... maybe she'll win an Oscar for it 
.
, she must be totally exhausted after rehearsing all those dance moves and singing nonstop 
. I mean, 100 minutes of music and dance is a lot to handle even for an amazing actress like her. I hope she gets some rest and self-care soon, her performance will definitely shine through though
