It's hard for me to choose between Sing in the Rain and Chicago, which is the pinnacle of the musical genre.

When I was young, I liked to sing in the torrential rain on the way to school. His hands, feet and tongue, to learn Gene Kelly's snarky appearance is probably hopeless in this life. Speaking of which, he happened to have a cold and a high fever when he was shooting that scene, and he was confused and went through such a long scene over and over again, as expected. An ancient dance machine.

So in the end, I will only hum the sentence "I'm singing in the rain..." I hope you who hear this sentence in the future also happen to have seen "Singing in the Rain". Not "A Clockwork Orange".

Donald O'Connor has created a historically excellent second male lead, silently carrying the plot and this young couple like a supporter who can win the game. It can only be said that he loves the male protagonist very deeply. So in fact, the female protagonist doesn't dance very much. Instead, several duet dances by the male protagonist and the second male lead are interactive and interesting.

The movie era performed in the play-in-play, jumped from silent films to sound films, foresight or ignorance, while following the exaggerated performances of the silent film era, the actors who stumbled and did their lines training, you are standing there. The beginning of a golden age.

For many years in the City of Philharmonic, Commander Gao walked around the telephone pole under the moonlight, and finally came down shyly. The big apricot-colored girl in front of him was about to lose his soul, but he could Without Gene Kelly's ability to dance for hours without slack, it would be very difficult for a young man to dance a pas de deux decades later, and there will be no rain on the head of that silly boy in love.

    When it comes to this film, the film program will definitely put Tang (character) singing and dancing in the rain. But my favorite is the pantomime of Don (actor) and the puppets - the importance of sound effects to visual appeal. Casey dubbed Lena, who was considered a "disqualified actor in the age of sound" in the film. Aside from the extremely high level of singing and dancing, this film from half a century ago, sorry for the discussion of "what is a movie", "what is a performance", and the depiction of all beings inside and outside the entertainment circle, it still seems very interesting now.
