And "Sing in the Rain" tied for the pinnacle of musicals

The 4-minute water dance in Gene Kelly's "Singing in the Rain" is a legend in the film industry. The 10-minute living room dance in Judy Garland's "A Star Is Born", which he collaborated with, is also the pinnacle of the film industry. The film is a huge satire of reality. The male protagonist went downhill due to alcoholism in the play, but the reality is that Judy was drunk in the play and had been fired by MGM before. I don't know if Judy thought about her alcoholism when she begged her husband to quit drinking in the film. We watch movie stars shine, but we don't know the sense of fear they feel when they become superstars, and the sense of loneliness when they fall off the altar. Maybe he was the proud son of heaven, so he would not be willing to be the dust.

    On top of the original script, the form of singing and dancing was added. The characters are also more emotional. The singing and dancing are outstanding, but the dialogue part is weakened, and the state of separation is indeed very tiring.

    I watched the version restaurée for nearly 3 hours, and the missing parts were replaced with still photos. It is said that Warner Bros. will release the BD version of the film in 2010, and found a lot of lost parts. The last sentence of Mrs Norman Maine was quite tear-jerking. Hollywood movies about Hollywood are always worth watching
