the best hollywood musical since The Wizard of Oz.

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2002)

fifty years on, it stills gives a glorious feeling for hollywood fanatics worldwide. And why not! This is, on a basic plot, a hollywood about hollywood! Confusing? Not really. This film is based around the lates 1920s, when the talkies revolution took place! And it basically, focuses on the rise of Don Lockwood, a former stuntman on slient films becomes a superstar overnight, alongside his former music colleque, Don Lockwood. Donald o'connor's character goes over the top when singing Make 'em Laugh! But who cares! It's extremely more entertaining than other "over-the-top" comic stars, like Jim Carrey!But it is the classic Singin' in the Rain sequence with Gene Kelly prancing about in the streets on a rainy evening is classic film-making. No other musical has such brilliantly cherography and a well-directed dancing sequence filmed in all my film-wacthing life! It's a gem! This really meant the hollywood classics that are not made like this gem anymore! Not even the modern-day hollywood can compete with classic film-making that it used to be when this was realesed! Come on! This film was entirely made with no computer graphics in site. If it did, in a re-make, it would deteriate the quality dramatically! This is truly the best hollywood musical since the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz!
