The film is a classic in the history of American cinema. It combines modern dance, ballet, song, music and painting with a simple love story. Gershwin's music, Gene Kelly's dance, Minnelli's The director is the magic weapon of the film's success   .
The group dance scene in the last 17 minutes of the film is magnificent and gorgeous, even after many years, it is a rare singing and dancing scene. Gene Kelly integrated these 17-minute dance steps into ballet and tap dance elements, especially interspersed the rhythm of cha-cha in classical ballet, adding a bit of playfulness and dynamic to the elegant and graceful ballet. The two main dancers performed this unprecedented dance pattern vividly and naturally. The light and bright songs in the film are also very consistent with the tone of the film  .

    The American painter was wandering around in Paris and was accidentally caught by the rich second generation. He thought it would be a good thing for the two of them. The male protagonist openly expressed his interest in another woman in the restaurant, and kept staring at others. And then rhetorically forced to take people to dance! On the way back, the rich second generation was really unhappy! Not only did the male protagonist not admit his mistake, but he apologized first the next day, while he happily asked the female protagonist for a date? Not being kind! Knowing that the rich second generation likes him, even if they say sponsoring art, the male protagonist is not blind, thinking that secretly dating other girls is enough? The heroine is also, there are objects that still accept the pursuit of the male lead? Adulterer whore, bah! To convince people that at least acting out the two of them is the reason for true love! The story itself is really not up to standard, and the characters are not three-dimensional. Can this win an Oscar? I will not comment on a large number of songs and dances that have no meaning to advance the plot. After all, it is a song and dance film of the old era. The scenes of singing and dancing are not small, and it is full of sincerity. As for gender stereotypes, what could a 1951 film ask for.

An American in Paris quotes

  • Jerry Mulligan: I came to Paris to study and to paint, because Utrillo did, and Lautrec did, and Roualt did. I loved what they created and I thought something would happen to me too. Well, it happened all right. Now, what have I got left? Paris. Maybe that's enough for some, but it isn't for me anymore, because the more beautiful everything is, the more it will hurt without you.

  • Milo Roberts: Why do you make such an issue of money?

    Jerry Mulligan: Because I ain't got any. And when you ain't got any, it takes on a curious significance.
