Singin' in the Rain 4K 1952

1927, Hollywood, the birth of sound cinema. Mute stars had to learn how to talk - and not all of them learned it easily. But for musicians and dancers, new broad horizons open up.

It's a wonderful film! It drags a little in the penultimate fifteen minutes, but this only fault is more than offset by the last fifteen minutes. So there's nothing to criticize "Singing..." for. And one can only marvel.

A fine plot! Though it is not complicated, and rather predictable, and was built by the screenwriters around songs, but one does not need another for a comedy. Not everything simple is brilliant, but elegant simple - yes.

Rich, sparkling humor! In phrases, in situations, in stunts, in Cosmo Brown's grimaces, even in the nasty Lina Lamont - there is reason (often several at once) to smile in almost everything.

The actors! The dedication is beyond belief. And the craftsmanship is undeniable. They write that on the set, Kelly was a tyrant ... There's not a hint of it in the frame; the ease of play of all - inimitable!

And - most importantly, of course - the musical numbers! They take your breath away more than many modern special effects. Every movement of the dancers is a beauty - it's not enough to look away - I don't want to blink. The choreography is a great art!

A masterpiece! It's silly to shout this, but Don Lockwood danced with an umbrella in the middle of the street and sang, not shying away from anyone... Masterpiece!

After "Singing in the Rain" there was a strong desire to get into musicals and watch them all. But where a guarantee that at least one will be able to give me as much happiness?
