What a wonderful feeling. Indeed

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2020)

If I had to recommend a musical director this is Stanley Donen. The director of films like "Funny Face" (1957), "Charade" (1963) or "Two for the Road" (1967). I loved that films as much as Audrey Hepburn's performances. When I first watched "Charade" in my early years in the university. I though: "isn't it a Hitchcockian movie?"
And yet, Donen borrowed some technical advices from the Master of Suspense. But this is not the movie I'm goin' to talk about. Right now the movie that concerns us is a masterpiece called "Singin' in the Rain" (1952). A movie with three hit songs ranked in 2004 AFI's 100 Songs 100 Years: the well-known "Singin' in the Rain" by Gene Kelly, "Make 'Em Laugh" by Donald O' Connor and "Good Morning" by the protagonist trio (Reynolds is the third one). But this isn't just the beginning.
"Singing' in the Rain" is a history travel though the 20s silent history of Hollywood. When "The Jazz Singer" (1927) marked a before and after on the next generation. The movie is a testimonial video file recorded with mastery with which Kelly has acclimatized his audience since "On the Town" (1949) as the first collaboration with Donen. Nothing further to say about. The camera movements and surreal pictures in some parts of the plot are transgressive for that period of time. People not used to watch Berkeley's musicals in the 30s must be surprised. And for those who don't like musical I eÂ¡specially recommend this movie.
Positive vibes and sing along
