Singin ' Film ' The Rain '

Singin’ in the Rain is a comedy musical which was released on 11 April 1952 in the United States. The story is about a nostalgic look at Hollywood in the 1920s.It showed a big star’s life. This film also talks about Hollywood’s star system. Hollywood’s Star system is the promotion and marketing of movie stars in Hollywood which started in the 1910s.The pros and cons of Hollywood’s star system which were depicted in Singin’ in the Rain will be discussed.

The "movie within a movie" plot of Singin in the Rain allows the movie to get away with separate full-scale production numbers as well as in scene numbers. Although the latter is supposed to be spontaneous, all the musical numbers incorporate the typical Hollywood musical ploys. As Feuer points out in "The History of the Hollywood Musical: Innovation as Conservation", "Singin in the Rain demystifies silent movies, serious theater and early talkies while glorifying musical comedy." The characters perform perfected choreography while accompanied by either an orchestra full of strings for the romantic sequences or playful horns for the comedic sequences. The "Broadway Melody" number in particular seems to exhibit numerous musical clichés both in film and theater. There is a large flashy set, hundreds of dancers, and various musical genres presented. First, the music is high paced and hectic during the urban part of the scene as Don walks through the city. Second a jazz rhythm is played during the beginning of the bar scene. During the later part of the bar scene, Don engages in a sexual dance with an exotic looking woman dressed in green. The music transitions to a slinky and sensual melody with trumpets and soft drums. As with many other movies such as The Three Caballeros, the exotic

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.

The music throughout the performance is by The Rolling Stones. The first song, “Little Red Rooster” is very laid back and lazy sounding. It has a slow but consistent tempo throughout the song. The second song, “Lady Jane” has a very slow tempo. This is possibly because it contains lots partner work. The third song, “Not Fade Away” is significantly faster than the previous songs. There is also lots of clapping in time with the music which gives it a kind of celebratory feel. The fourth song, “As Tears Go By” once again has a slow tempo. It has a very relaxed feel at the same time as being sad. This assists in developing the choreographers’ intent because in this section the female dancer is being rejected. The fifth song, “Paint it Black” is where the first costume change takes

The original songs in the musical include Magic to Do, Corner of the Sky, Welcome Home, War is a Science, Glory, Simple Joys, No Time at All, With You, Spread a Little Sunshine, Morning Glow, On the Right Track, And There He Was, Kind of Woman, Extraordinary, Prayer for a Duck, Love Song, I Guess I’ll Miss the Man, and Finale. These are the songs Schwartz designed to be catchy, different, and exciting.

My interest in Old Hollywood comes from my grandma and her love for the old movies she grew up with. When I was little my grandma would watch me while my parents were at work and we would sit in her living room with Turner Classic Movies turned on channel 47 to be exact. Movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's and Dancing In The Rain became my favorite childhood movies. No matter what movies you like, if you want to know where movies started then pay close attention. Today, I am going to teach you about classic movies to help you better appreciate the movies we have today. You will learn about the evolution of the golden age of Hollywood from silent movies black and white movies, to “talkie” movies in color, and some of the actors and actresses that shaped the time period from 1915 to 1960.

I think the musical highlight of this film was when Louis Armstrong was performing “Dinah”. I enjoyed it because Armstrong had an amazing stage presence and was a unique performer. In this song, Armstrong

Music is incorporated into the film to fit in with the epic theme. Not only is the film exquisitely created, but also the songs and sound are also what make the film iconic. For example, Chuck Berry’s song “You never can tell” played in the scene where Mia and one of the gangsters had a twist off dance in a 50’s American restaurant. On the other hand, the set of the film was recognizably the 90’s. Another iconic scene that is also in the beginning of the film is when Vince and Jules discuss American fast food.

For those of you who have never seen it, I highly recommend it. It’s a beautiful film with highly talented actors and fantastic musical numbers like “Good Morning”, “Make’ Em Laugh”, and Gene Kelly’s “Singin’ in the Rain”. In grade school, I would always put on “Good Morning” everyday before school it would just put a smile on my face before I would face the bullies. Singin in the Rain was actually one of

Not all films which adhere to the classical Hollywood paradigm eschew issues. The film Singin’ in the Rain follows Don Lockwood, a popular silent film actor, as he attempts to maintain his star status during the advent of “talkies”. Lockwood’s journey manifests fame’s capricious temperament, the studio’s commercial interest, and the influence of outside variables on a film. Singin’ in the Rain uses Lockwood’s struggle with celebrity to expose the importance of public image and self esteem.

The film, Singing In The Rain, directed by Stanely Donen and Gene Kelly, uses many themes, camera angles, and overall simple techniques to engage its audience within the movie and yet still manage to symbolize plentiful acts. The movie mainly focuses on the new era of ‘talking pictures’ and how it affected Cosmo’s career and film, The Dueling Cavalier. Within the many scenes, I chose to focus upon the famous, “ Good Morning,” scene/melody.

I think Bollaín chose to make a film about a film to show how important the history actually is to the people of these countries. There were many scenes where she chose to show characters wanting to portray things exactly how they happened historically. For example,

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. It seemed like it was a time filler and nothing else. The scene I am going to talk about is the one where the musical score “Singin’ in the rain” happens. I chose it because it is singin’ in the rains most iconic scene. I also chose it since I think it has a couple references and foreshadowing in the scene. This scene in singin’ in the rain has the theme of happiness.

“The Glorious songs and scores are by Chazelle’s Harvard classmate Justin Hurwitz with to-die-for lyrics by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul,” as one critic informs (Travers par 3). The original songs progress the film and further develops the characters; “the kicky opening sequence serves as an audition piece, a mini “chorus line” acquainting us with the crowd,” and sets the theme of chasing one’s dream where Seb and Mia both emerge (Scott par 3). In the final scene, music is also used as, “one last audition , followed by a swirl of rapturous, heart tugging music and ballet,” enchanting the audience to a

At the opening scene of the film, Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly), Cosmo Brown (Donald O’Connor) and Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds) start off by walking in step with the song Singing in the Rain in the background. As the next scene rolls over, you comprehend the china theater with the title “The Royal Rascal”, which happens to start Don and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) in a black and white film. During this time all the other famous actors were arriving to the premiere. The fans were going crazy over them. Suddenly, Cosmo shows up and the crowd instantly got quiet, then without warning Don and Linda showed up at the theater, the crowd went wild over them and how they love their new production that just came out. As the two were walking towards the entrance to the theater, they both got stopped by the announcer who then had asked Don a genuine question on how he started his acting career. While Don was answering this question, he gives a big thanks to his friend Cosmo for helping him out. When Don was little he mentions that he and Cosmo were talking dancing and singing lessons and started thinking that they could make a career
