An ultimate audio-visual feast

The story of an American painter picking up girls, but the narrative angle has long been a problem, and the plot has become weaker after that. But this classic musical film has three selling points to make up for: the famous tunes of American composer George Gershwin, the vigorous dancing of the protagonist Gene Kelly, and the uncompromising performance of director Minnelli. Created fancy scenes and scheduling. An ultimate audio-visual feast. (4/06)

Winner of the Oscar for Best Film (1951) and five other awards, ranked 68th in the American Film Institute (AFI) 100 Best Films (1998 Edition). http://mcyiwenzhi.blogspot.com/2009/01/american-in-paris-1951.html

    Although it is a musical, and it is also very exciting and gorgeous, the long musical performances that are not closely related to the plot are too overwhelming.

    The clip of talking about a 19-year-old girlfriend in a cafe just made me laugh. It is not only sexy and charming on the bed, but also intellectual and elegant under the bed. It can be as quiet as a virgin but also as moving as a rabbit... The plot is also indescribable, I think I can find it The down-and-out painter in true love and the cabinet sister who was oppressed by World War II and sold perfume under the fence, the two were constantly ambiguous while enjoying the sacrifices of the elder sister Bai Fumei who supported them and the charming older male star, but in the end, neither of them was bold. Pursuing the so-called true love also depends on the success of Bai Fumei's sister and big stars... I watched loneliness for two hours
