The Best Musical

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2006)

With countless catchy tunes, glorious Technicolor, fun, creative dancing, wonderful costumes, fantastic storyline, it is hard not to love this classic, fun movie! This is a wonderful way to escape reality and dive into the magical world of movies. Singin' in the Rain is essentially about the history-changing transition from silent movies to sound - something the movie bosses said wouldn't last! Gene Kelly plays Don Lockwood, a very popular silent actor. He has a fake relationship with Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) for publicity purposes. When the Hollywood is struck with sound, there is a problem.... and Don puts his career on the rocks when he falls in love with Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds). In conclusion, Singin' in the Rain is the best musical I have seen. Dancing, singing, laughing... everything in one. The best musical ever made.
