My Favorite Musical

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2016)

I usually don't enjoy films that are filmed in a musical way. Singin' in the Rain is an exception to that. I usually don't take musicals seriously and the forced singing and dancing usually doesn't appeal to me. But in Singin' in the Rain the dancing and music goes well with the story line and progression of the movie. The comedy that also is included helps to lighting the movie up and gives it a second side that I enjoy other than just music and dancing. It also helps that Gene Kelly can actually sings the songs well. Another aspect of the movie that I enjoyed is the love triangle between Don, Lina, and Kathy. At first Don acts like he is together with Lina to just keep his fans happy but by the end of the movie he ends up with his true love Kathy.
