Singing in the Rain

Singin' in the Rain is about change, progression within the movie industry and is woven together with large musical numbers and slap-stick comedy. Gene Kelly exhibits a masculine style of dance that incorporates heavy tap and gymnastic schools. This movie stars Gene Kelly, who also directs, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor. This movie is themed around deception and genuine feeling, between what is worthwhile and what is easily done away with. 

Actress Lena Lamont is the epitome of the fake, with a beautiful exterior, but can't cut it when the talkies come about, as she proffers a grating voice, and as we come to find out, an awful core. 

The most interesting scene of the movie to me is the "play within a play"or "musical within a musical" in this case. The most potent scenes for me include Cyd Charisse, the dancer, both onstage and off. She is said to be one of the most amazing ballerinas in the world, and she gives a breathtaking performance alongside Gene Kelly without ever saying a word, which is the opposite side of the spectrum, but still in parallel with Lena's character.
