Singin in the Rain

I confess: I do not like musicals. I do not usually enjoy them. But  Singing in the Rain is a special film. The film has become a classic. It was released in 1952, and has since been a success.

 

Don Lockkwood is a silent film star who has worked hard to achieve success.  His best friend Cosmo Brown, has always accompanied him. Now, he acts with Lina Lamont, a pretty girl, but a little wicked. Together they are the fashionable couple movie studios RF Simpson. One day, Don meets Kathy Selden, an unknown actress. Don and Kathy fall in love. But the talkie film arrive. The public loves the sound film. For this reason, the movie of Don and Lisa have to re-record and turn it into a musical. However, Lisa's voice is horrible.

 

The songs of the movie are very well used. The dances are full of fun and laughter. We can enjoy songs like Make 'Em Laugh, Moses supposes or Good morning. The music fits perfectly in the movie. Arthur Freed is responsible for the film's songs. He is a genius.
Moreover, the actors are unique. Gene Kelly plays a mythical character, a charming gentleman. Everyone laughs with poor voice Lina Lamont play by Jean Hagen. And everyone is surprised by the role played by Debbie Reynolds.

The transition from silent films to talkie films is the main theme of the movie. The actors play their roles very well. The characters connect with the audience. It is very important.

 

 

 

 

 

A fact, the mythical end scene was not easy. The scene where Gene Kelly is singing in the rain. That day the actor was sick. He was not going to do the scene! Finally, he did. And a secret, Rain that appears in the film, was mixed with milk to make it more real!

In conclusion, if you have a sad day Singing in the Rain is your movie. Fun and laughter.
