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

Moonlight (2016) a film directed by Barry Jenkins, is a film that has many intersections of identity present. The film follows its main character - Chiron - as he goes through three pivotal stages in his life. Theses stages are titled; Little, Chiron, and Black.

I was still in elementary school when hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana so I do not remember much except for the fact that my mother woke up my sister and I at four o’clock in the morning to head to my uncle’s house in northern Texas. My mother got scared and decided to leave at the last minute. I remember on our drive there, the thunder and lightning was horrible and it was raining really bad. Besides remembering these few details on my own, I have only heard stories and was taught about Katrina in school. Watching Trouble the Water was very eye opening in the aspects of how some of the people in the ninth ward of New Orleans experienced hurricane Katrina. Although this documentary focused solely on the impact of the ninth ward, there were still

In Hollywood actors and actresses are expected to have a certain image. This was not the case for Lina Lamont in Singin’ In The Rain. Lina Lamont had the perfect image for silent films, but when it came to talking, she had a high-pitched voice that no one wanted to hear. When Lina and Don made a talking motion picture, Lina had to fake her voice or face the consequences of being laughed at by everyone in Hollywood. The company hired another woman to be the voice of Lina for the films. “You mean it's gonna say up on the screen that I don't talk and sing for myself? They can't do that! They can't make a fool out of Lina Lamont. They can't make a laughingstock out of Lina Lamont. What do they think I am, dumb or something?” This event in Singn’ In The Rain shows the audience how manipulative Hollywood can be. The people viewing the motion picture film believe that Lina Lamont’s voice sounds beautiful when in reality her voice is

In 1927 the first ‘talkie’, a film with synchronized dialogue, was introduced to the public and was met with stunning success. Even with many film studios did not believe the idea would ever catch on, the public loved talkies and wanted more. As such, talkies began to sweep the nation; revitalizing the entire film industry and changing the course of all film production and presentation. But talkies also caused some surprising destruction to the career of many actors who could not make the transition from silent films into dialogue, all the while lifting some to new heights of their careers.

However, when Kathy questions this established perspective of Don Lockwood in the following scene, it shatters his self-confidence. Disparaging acting in silent films, Kathy claims that performing on stage requires much more talent. With the true background of Lockwood, the implied audience better understands the effect of this statement. Despite Lockwood’s modest beginnings, Kathy may consider his vaudevillian past the most impressive point of his career, rendering his current status mute and unrefined. After their conversation, Lockwood ruminates on whether he more closely resembles the popular reverence he has grown accustomed to or a pompous and overpaid mime.

Konrad Wolf and Wolfgang Kohlhaase’s 1980 film Solo Sunny follows Renate Krößner as Ingrid “Sunny” Sommner living in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) as a young, struggling pop singer. On a surface level, the film contains many of the common motifs in East German film with a dramatic, musical plot that involves a working woman’s pursuit of happiness. In actuality, the film manages to subtly deliver an effective critique of the culture of Eastern Germany’s socialist political society, despite being created under the constant threat of state censorship. The first generation of GDR punks were not prominent until 1979, significantly late in the development of punk as a whole, with Crass already making a definitive statement with “Punk is Dead”

Going over sextuple the budget, singin’ in the rain has stood the test of time to be the best musical of all time (IMDb). It contains notable songs that we still use today like Good Morning. The reason why I picked the film for my scene analysis is because it was the first musical I actually enjoyed. I also picked it because it was the latest film I watched and it is still fresh in my mind. The only part that I did not like or did not get was the broadway musical part.

“I wasn’t never worth shit. Never did anything I actually wanted to do, all I could do was what other folks thought I should do. I was never myself.” This quote comes from one of the most powerful films I’ve seen in a long time, Moonlight. Moonlight is a movie broken up into three chapters of the life of Chiron, a young black man growing up in the Miami projects. Throughout the movie, we go on a journey with Chiron from his childhood to adolescence to adulthood and watch as he struggles with his sexuality, masculinity, finding himself and his family. Don’t let the fact that the movie has an unknown director and cast steer you away from it. Moonlight was nominated for eight Oscars and ended up winning three of them, including Best Picture. The film was powerful, heart-wrenching, beautiful and unique all in one about a story that is not often told on screen, a poor, black, gay man struggling in America.

In the beginning scene only we can see the protagonist (Changez) staring thoughtfully ahead, and his attire mixed with music in the background gives a sense of tradition. In the next scene we can see the family listening to a qawali giving impression of affluence and aristocracy. Protagonist phone rings capturing his attention, and he excuses himself from his surroundings. These scenes are juxtaposed with that of a Anse Rainier and his wife walking out of a cinema, and as the qawal increases his tempo Anse rainier gets kidnapped. Later we can see Bobby (An American journalist) in Pakistan interviewing Changez in a restaurant as he and his team suspects changez’s involvement in kidnapping of professor Anse Rainier who is Changez’s colleague at Lahore University. This scene lays down the dynamics of their conversation. Bobby was trying to illicit information about Anse rainier as an unsuspecting journalist but changez already knew what he was up to and why did he come for taking an interview. The first thing that Changez says in the interview was “Looks can be deceptive”. This is quite suitable for the movie as in the movie it is all about appearances and identities. In Pakistan, changez family was royal and they had respect but in Princeton University he chooses to not reveal that he is on financial aid and he did this by his appearances and perfect accent. In his interview at Underwood Samson he says to the Jim (Interviewer) that it’s his merit and not his
