It is true that for a person who has almost no contact with musical films, "Singing in the rain" (Singing in the rain) still amazes me. It is said that this film is a classic work of musical films in the history of film. The film was born in 1952. It was the period of post-war reconstruction, and perhaps only the United States could make such a cheerful film. You can also see the decline of the silent film in this film, which is set in Hollywood's transition from the silent era to the talkie era in 1927, when Don (Gene Kelly) and Lena (Joan Hagan) ) were a famous screen couple in the silent film era. With the rise of sound movies, Linna was in a huge dilemma. Although she has a beautiful face and a plump figure, she doesn't have a good voice, and she looks very good in sound movies. In order to give Lena a good voice, Don introduced Cathy (Debbie Reynolds) to the production team and asked Cathy to voice Lena. Cathy's voice and Linna's beautiful appearance made Linna's popularity soar; however, the dazed Linna did not acknowledge Cathy's credit. Linna's actions aroused dissatisfaction among other producers. In a performance on stage with the film, everyone designed to make Linna look ugly. I actually don’t like musicals very much. Songs and dances in the plot are always very lengthy, but when I watched this film, I could watch this film with a smile and peacefully watching it. However, musical films are ultimately a decline Films, pure musicals have already entered the current film in other forms and with another element. To give a simple example, the dance of the axe gang in "Kung Fu", and in "If Love" " and other series of works, the elements of singing and dancing can always appear. I would like to say that "Singing in the Rain" is textbook-like. Perhaps musical films are no longer suitable for today's era, just as the era of Chaplin's silent films is out of tune with the current sound era. However, what I want to say is that this is Hollywood's self-deprecating work. In a fundamental sense, this is a movie in a movie, a movie in a movie, and in the movie, it clearly shows us that Hollywood was at that time. The way the film is made, it can even be said to show us the gossip and insider of the star's life without any scruples. Of course, the classic dialogues in the film can also touch my heart all the time. Perhaps in our modern words, Tang is too good at flirting, such as "From now on, I only care about one fan", "You are my song" , Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter..." In the film, although it is raining heavily, the mood is not damp. Because of her, you can sing and walk freely in the rain. Walking in the rain, despite the downpour, you can gently put away the Umbrella, wanton singing in the rain! Speaking of this, I have to talk about a personal rainy day complex. Whenever it rains, I can't help but put away the umbrella in my hand and hum softly: "I am singing in the rain..."
