Classic Kids or films your kids have to see before they are 13 or else!
Day 9: Singing in the Rain
One of the greatest movies ever made, joyful, funny,
and just so darn entertaining, one of my all time favorites. This is a film that you can keep watching throughout your
life and still find new things to enjoy and understand.
There is a a great website (http://www.filmsite.org/sing.html) They offered this review. "The joyous film, co-directed by Stanley Donen and acrobatic dancer-star-choreographer Gene Kelly, is a charming, up-beat, graceful and thoroughly enjoyable experience with great songs, lots of flashbacks, wonderful dances (including the spectacular Broadway Melody Ballet with leggy guest star Cyd Charisse), casting and story. This was another extraordinary example of the organic, 'integrated musical' in which the story's characters naturally express their emotions in the midst of their lives. Song and dance replace the dialogue, usually during moments of high spirits or passionate romance. And over half of the film - a 'let's put on a play' type of film, is composed of musical numbers."
I say enjoy, and see this film that is so pleasurable you will almost burst with joy! :).
Themes: Musical genre, silent/talkie history, Joy & Love
Questions: What time period does the film convey? Why is this film considered a musical?
What are your favorite scenes and why?
