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.

    Tragic version of The Artist. Maine's original motive for alcoholism was not explained, and the shady sense of the film and television circle was greatly reduced. The style seems to be a bit "post-classic", and the photo montage is quite bold? ! 37, 54, 76. I heard Eastwood is still shooting? ! (What's so good about this story? Is it easy to push unattractive female singers...)

    Judy Garland's singing is really not my thing, it would look a lot better if I could play it by another person. All four stars are dedicated to Mason. In "The Country Girl", which competed for the Oscar together that year, Crosby also played a down-and-out man. I really like this kind of tragic male protagonist who can't recover!
