Some thoughts

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2020)

Admittedly, for someone who has little contact with song and dance films, "Singing in the rai" is still amazing to me. It is said that this film is a classic of song and dance films in film history.
From this film, you can also see the decline of silent films. The film is set in the background of Hollywood's transition from the silent film era to the sound film era. In 1927, Tang and Linna were a famous screen couple in the silent film era. With the rise of sound movies, Linna fell into a huge dilemma. Although she has a beautiful face and a plump posture, but she does not have a good voice, she is very different when making sound movies. In order to give Linna a good voice, Tang introduced Cathy to the production team and asked Cathy to voice Linna. Cathy's voice and Lina's beautiful appearance made Linna's popularity soaring; however, Linna, who was blinded, did not recognize Cathy's credit. Linna's approach caused dissatisfaction from other production staff. In a performance on the stage with the film, everyone designed Linna to be a big ugly.
I actually do n't really like singing and dancing movies. In the plot, singing and dancing always seem very lengthy, but when watching this movie, I can watch this movie peacefully with a smile, but the song and dance movie is always a decline Genre, pure song and dance films have already entered the current film in other forms and with another element. Perhaps song and dance films are no longer suitable for today's era, just like the era of Chaplin's silent films is incompatible with the current sound era. In the film, when the sound film appeared, everyone can't wait to cast into the embrace of the sound era.
However, what I want to say more is that this is Hollywood's self-deprecating work. In a fundamental sense, this is to put a movie in a movie, make a movie in a movie, and in the movie, it clearly shows us the Hollywood at that time. The way of filming can even be said to show us without scruples, the gossip and inside story of the star's life.
Of course, the classic dialogue in the film can touch my heart all the time, maybe in our fashionable words, Tang He is too provocative. In the film, although it is raining heavily, the mood is not wet, because of her, so You can sing and wander in the rain wantonly. Even though there is heavy downpour, you can gently put down the umbrella in your hand and sing in the rain wantonly!
When it comes to this, I have to talk about a personal rainy complex. Whenever it rains, I can't help but put away the umbrella in my hand and hum gently: "I am singing in the rain"
