Film Analysis Of SinginIn The Rain

Released in 1951, Singin in the Rain was one of the last films to be produced during the profitable golden age of the studio system. It evokes the typical characteristics of the popular MGM Hollywood musical by relying on superstar names and infectious dance numbers. However, Singin in the Rain incorporates an additional level of parody into its nostalgic plot that focuses on the disruptive shift from silent movies to "talkies." The film showcases classical Hollywood musical numbers supplemented by affectionate satire. The music of the film reflects each inherent level and in doing so becomes an identifiable character. It helps to add irony to the plot as well as comedic support. Singin in the Rain "glorifies American entertainment" while

Singing in the Rain and A Clockwork Orange are both Classical Hollywood films. However, singing in the Rain closely follows what classical Hollywood film is supposed to be and A Clockwork Orange definitely tests the idea. Classical Hollywood Cinema is a type of traditional studio based style of making films in both the sound and silent periods. The directors of these types of films want you to simply watch and not worry about why the characters are doing what they’re doing. They want you to enjoy what you’re watching. They are also filmed with a sort of structure in the beginning the characters are all introduced to the viewers. There are then complications or conflict added to the plot. Then the resolution occurs where the conflict of the film has a confrontation and the protagonist ways his or her options. Finally, all major conflicts and issues in the film are resolved and generally the protagonist lives happily ever after. While the protagonists live happily ever after the antagonists of the films are punished from their actions throughout the film.

“If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all,” remarks Kathy Selden about movies after first meeting silent film star Don Lockwood in the beginning of Singin’ in the Rain (Singin’ in the Rain 17:38). While Kathy was slightly off base when saying that all movies are the same, movies belonging to the same genre often do share certain conventions which author Bernard F. Dick discusses in his book Anatomy of Film and Tim Dirks confirms in his assessment of the genre for the American Movie Classics Company. What do one of the best musicals ever made and the newest musical to receive raving reviews have in common? With 64 years separating Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and La La Land (2016), the advancements in film technology are apparent, but the

The movie shows the different sounds from Johnny Cash to Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis to June Carter. The main sound or focus in the movie is Johnny’s. He has a very deep rough-cut, sound that was unheard of at the time and what people like most about his music besides the stories behind his story. Many of his song have the stories they do because they are stories about Johnny and his life. The biggest events in his life are the death of his brother and the drinking and anger from that event from his father. His love for music comes from his mother and the hymns that she sang and he memorized and learned. Johnny also had a dream to play music and sing from June at a young age on the radio. Jun had a sound of love and cheerful playing when

I agree with you that we need to move away from Asians having stereotypical roles. It may sometimes be funny, depending on what genre, but it does get boring if they keep repeating it. That is the problem that most most films have today. I think that if more Asians can play in other roles, than we can open up more ideas for Asian American actors and actresses.

While it cannot be denied that environmental factors have played a role in the rapid increase, some question whether the so-called epidemic cannot be explained by an expanded criteria for diagnosing children with autism. The increased number of diagnoses in autism cannot be debated. During the nineteen eighties, the Center for Disease control estimated that one in two thousand children were afflicted by a disorder classifying as an autistic spectrum disorder. However, the estimate has now risen to one in one hundred sixty-six children while the U.S. department of Education has claimed that autism has increased 657% from 1993 through to 2003. However, it is possible that such staggering increases are not entirely due to an actual increase of

1. There were quite a few scenes where I believe the co-cultural communication theory could have been applied. After reading the responses of my other classmates, many of these scenes have been shared. I decided to watch some scenes a little more closely in order to pick something that possibly hadn’t been used already. There was a scene where Thomas says to Victor, “The cowboys always win”. He proceeds to talk about John Wayne as an example. Victor then made a comment about John Wayne’s teeth never showing. They then proceed to chant a little song about John Wayne’s teeth. All of the people on the bus, which were predominantly white, turned around and began to stare at them with a particular express that was likely an expression of displeasure.

Five actors, Tugg Speedman, Kirk Lazarus, Jeff Portnoy, Alpa Chino, and Kevin Sandusky are taking part in the biggest and most expensive war movie ever based on the book, Tropic Thunder. Shortly after filming begins, the actors could not get a scene right and explosions meant for that scene blow up when the cameras were not rolling, costing rookie director Damien Cockburn thousands of dollars and delays the movie by six months. Studio executive Les Grossman threatens to cancel the movie if Damien cannot keep his cast together. With the help of the author of Tropic Thunder, Sgt. John “Four Leaf”, Damien comes up with an abnormal way of reshooting the film, which includes sending the five actors into the confined jungles of Southeast Asia

The 2017 Academy Award for Best Picture went to the movie Moonlight. This win was historic in many different ways. Moonlight became the first film that focused around the lives of black individuals without being about racism. It was also the first film to win the Best Picture award with the movie’s protagonist being an LGBTQ individual. Moonlight, a film with a $4 million-dollar budget, was capable of captivating audiences with its unique theme not often seen in films. The film is based off of a screenplay named In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue written by Tarell Alvin McCrane, whom adapted much of his life and struggles into the script. Excelling in acting, dialogue, and cinematography, the film does a great job at telling a story of a

Rain Man is a captivating movie as it starts out being about a self-centered guy named Charlie Babbitt selling expensive imported automobiles and trying to juggle his way out of a crisis in his Los Angeles business. We are not introduced to the person referenced in the title (“Rain Man”) until later on in the film when Charlie is informed that his father has died. Expecting at least a portion of his father’s $3 million estate, Charlie learns that all he's inherited is his dad's prize roses and a beautiful antique car, which is a slap in the face compared to a mysterious $3 million left in a trust. Charlie heads to his home town of Cincinnati to take matters into his own hands and comes to find out that the beneficiary is Raymond Babbitt

The Artist is a film set in the silent film era that is an almost-silent film itself and I found it incredibly effective that a film about the silent film era is practically silent itself. The lack of spoken dialogue and diegetic sound makes it ever so clear to the viewer that this movie is about the silent film era and it is attempting to make a statement about that style of film. Although the advent and surge in popularity of “talkies” has been addressed in other films, such as Singin’ in the Rain, The Artist is unique in that it addresses the takeover of “talkies” in the context of a silent film.

The film Even the Rain is set in Cochabamba, Bolivia, during water crisis of 2000s. Group of filmmakers went to Bolivia to make film about the first encounter between indigenous people and Christopher Columbus. The movie company hired the native people because they see as cheap labor to produce their film. As the film progressed something unexpected happens.

Before this class, the Weather Underground was a mystery to me. After doing a little research to find where I could watch the film, I understood it as simply as group of student activists. Behold to my knowledge this group was not of any simplicity or school-like manner that I assumed. In my twenty-eight years of life I have seen and heard of courageous men and women who have stood and died for what they believed, and this particular group reminded me as well as opened my eyes to a number of things. It humbled me that they possessed a tremendous indignation, amazed me how large and powerful their organization was, and also frightened me with their terrorist actions that fought with the same intentions they opposed.

The film pokes fun at the many real life rock stars and bands that existed at the time; including Yes, Early Genesis, Ritchie Blackmore, The Beatles, Dee Snider, Led Zeppelin etc., and how the media and society viewed them during this era. It shows how society viewed Rock Stars as larger than life idols, often overlooking their obvious flaws until it catches up to them; and contrasts it

We all have that one movie that we would never really watch until we are told to do so by a friend or in my case for an assignment, that movie for me would have to be the film Moonlight. Moonlight came out to theaters on October 21, 2016. The film did not have remarkable success in theaters until after the Oscars. Moonlight won three Oscars in 2017, including Best Picture. The film was directed and written by Berry Jenkins. Jenkins grew up in a housing project located in Miami Florida. He lived with his mom however, she was a drug addict, so he then began to live with his grandma. Jenkins stated that “There was seven or eight of us in a two-person apartment. There was usually food but sometimes not. The lights usually worked but sometimes not.” Although the film was written by Jenkins he also had help from a unpublished play written by Tarell Alvin. The play was called In Moonlight Black Blues Look Blue. Tarell Alvin had many similarities to Berry Jenkins. Both grew up in the same coarse neighborhood with a mother addicted to crack. With the bond the two shared with their struggles growing up it made the film that much more realistic and important for the two to create.
