This film was filmed in 1952, nearly 70 years ago. When I think that our country was still struggling in poverty at that time, and the people of the American Empire can already see such a good-looking movie in the cinema, a lemon grows in my heart. garden. 70 years of immortality and immortality, what gave this film the indestructible body of King Kong in the era of endless film works?
At the beginning, it was very popular to compare the two stars. In fact, according to my aesthetics, these two superstars are not very good-looking, Tang is a bit old-fashioned, and Lina is a bit fierce (a few stars who set off them are probably the same), It seems that over the past seventy years, people are more and more fond of young people, but the only constant is the state of being so happy that they fainted when they saw idols. When Tang introduced himself how to struggle in a superior life, the recollection appeared in the clip, but it was the bitter and happy struggle history of the two brothers. This paragraph is very clever. It reveals the real past of the two brothers, and also shows the packaging atmosphere of Hollywood. The strong contrast between words and reality establishes the humorous style of the film. I especially like the part where the two of them once performed tap dance. The rich facial expressions, powerful and neat movements, interesting choreography, and special "stuck points". I feel good when I watch one, and the corners of my mouth rise when I watch one. As a musical film, the tap dance element in it is too successful, and it matches the overall upward and bright style of the film. I really admire the two actors. They dance so fast, and they can sing while dancing. It seems that the lower body is not his own. In other musicals (actually I haven't seen a few), most of the musicals express the protagonist's mood, which is more abstract than the progression of the plot. But for this film, because of the identity of the protagonist (actor), and at the same time advancing the storyline and expressing emotions, the dance part will not make people feel a little out of touch. All in all, it's a genius to design a musical.
In terms of characters, it is actually more traditional, like the characters in fairy tales, there is a villain who makes people hate it, and there are kind-hearted hero and heroine. Married family. In modern moral terms, such character design is thin, how can there be a black and white person? This may be the shackles of the times and the requirements of commercial films. The audience may like to watch such cool dramas, the projection of the ideal of punishing evil and promoting good in film and television works.
Especially Tang's dance in the rain, an indelible classic in film history, it's amazing. The next day I watched another classic, A Clockwork Orange, in which Alex sings the song while doing evil and taking a shower, and does a dance during the rape. I originally listened to "singing in the rain" after watching "Song in the Rain", but after watching A Clockwork Orange, when I slept alone, I recalled this song but I was terrified. Unlock new ways to ruin a song - put him in a scary movie called Tribute.
In the film, we can slightly see the impact of sound films on silent films, as well as the disdain of successful silent film actors in the face of sound films. This disdain comes from fear. There is also an attitude that Tang as an actor is worth learning from his younger generation, his reflection in the face of criticism, his reflection on whether he is a good actor, and his humility towards fans.
If this film is remade or re-screened in Hollywood, it will be a sensation, right? When will my country release a musical like this?
