      The first film review: "Singing in the Rain" written to the god in my heart

      Title of work: Song in the Rain Documentary) I have been involved in black and white films until now, but there are less than 20 works that are attracting me. Among them, the highest score is 9/10, but now Song in the Rain is the full score work in my heart. She is a musical, musical, and dance drama. Acting as good as The Sound of Music; she's a movie about a touching love story but less attractive than Titanic because it's not the main element; she's a comedy that makes you smile and laugh...

      The originator of musicals

      In terms of subject matter, this film has all the perfect elements of a musical, and it is a well-established musical, but considering his shooting time and its role as a benchmark in film history, it is still a perfect film.

      First of all, in terms of the elements of musical films, that is, songs and dances, the songs of the film are extremely powerful songs, and the singers have a full understanding of the direction of the film's plot, and the dance is my favorite, fast-paced....

      RAIN THEN CLEAN

      I remember that when I was taking a music analysis class during my graduate studies, the professor in the class asked me what I thought of "La La Land". I said a lot of compliments, but she looked disdainful and told me to go back and watch "Song in the Rain" to understand. .

      After a lapse of two years, I didn't open this old musical until now when I was reviewing the history of movies. The moment I watched it, no, it wasn't finished yet. The male...

      "Singing in the rain"

      Oh my gosh, this movie is amazing! ! ! ! No matter from the plot, the music or the visual artistry, it's absolutely amazing! ! ! The film shows Don's super-confidence in tampering with history from the beginning. He recalls how he entered the film industry, and he said all positive things. In fact, his experience was not so glorious, from the comedy singing and dancing in the bar. When I made a fortune in acting, I was very happy because I was willing to endure hardship and slowly climbed up...

      A masterpiece of music and dance movies

      "Singing in the Rain" is a song and dance film full of gorgeous treasures. Don't think singing in the rain is miserable. The mood of this film is like a rainbow after the rain, overflowing with light. The song and dance are so impressive Su Xin, that comedy is so innocent and cheerful, it can clear any haze from your mind. This film is a meticulous masterpiece of dance king Kim Kelly, especially the theme song he sings and dances in the rain wearing tap shoes. It has become the most classic...

      It really deserves to be the king of musicals. The song in the rain and the Broadway section in it, as well as the second male lead Donna O'Connor's "Make Them Laugh" are absolutely amazing. The color of the picture in the movie has a very charming and delicate texture, and the costume design of Broadway is really beautiful. The time background is the transition period from silent movies to sound movies, and the fun on set is really fun! 2019.4.13 Review at the Beijing Film Festival...

      It is an unparalleled classic. I saw the tribute to it by The Artist, the imitation of it by an Indian film, a simple and lovely story, a Gene Kelly who danced and made a movie with heart, and an unforgettable dream dance. See a nostalgic golden...

      Very entertaining film I am quite amazed by the films that came out so many years ago, in an age where computer technology is not yet developed, human ingenuity still creates dazzling visual effects, which are far purer and more impressive than many films today....

    Behind the scenes gags

    Gene Kelly had a fever of nearly 40 degrees when he was shooting dancing in the rain.
    In order to achieve a better picture effect, the rain in the film is made of a mixture of water and milk. But after Gene Kelly got wet in the rain, his sweater shrank.
    During the filming, Gene Kelly accused Debbie Reynolds of incompetence because he could not dance, and Reynolds also hid under the piano and cried....
