A few thoughts on Singing in the Rain

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2011)

I'm not a fan of all musicals. I mostly like only comedies. If a musical seems too corny to me it's a huge turn off. This, although was corny in ways, ended up being a great movie. It really gave hope to all those waitresses working in Hollywood trying to make something of themselves. Hard work pays off and this movie shows it. It also pointed out something that could have actually happened if it had not been brought to the public's attention through this movie and that is: people not getting credited for their talent. I'm sure that it probably does happen here and there, but I'm hoping it's not nearly as bad as it could have been. I think somebody getting credit for someone else's talent is one of the crappiest things that can happen. I'm glad that they made this movie so early and that they incorporated that dirty trick in it. That sort of stuff can potentially ruin a talented actor/signer/writer/comedian's career.
I thought the music in this movie was a little on the corny side, but in a good way. This movie was funny. I could relate how stressed the director was getting to the actor not speaking into the microphone. I don't know why they made such a big deal about her voice though. It wasn't that bad. I also don't know why they didn't just have her do her own voice over's backstage and then sync it to the movie (before they made it a musical of course, because she was a bad signer). This might sound strange, but did anybody else want to be friends with Cosmo? He seemed like a funny person to hang out with. Both of the guys were awesome at dancing, I didn't realize tap dancing could be so cool. Their dancing was way different then the shoulder leaning two stepping crap dancers are doing today. This movie was good, I suggest you watch it. It's for sure a classic.
