This was such a clever, funny movie! It’s a biting satire of Hollywood nonsense. It feels fresh and modern, even today. The humor reminds me of Mel Brooks. Debbie Reynolds stole every scene she was in. The dance scenes were really great — especially the one with Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse in the speakeasy! This is one I would definitely watch again.

The performance of the musical acts accompanied by the "tap dance" culture, the discovery of the diction educators immerse the viewer in the understanding of the cultural transition. The dialogues, though written decades ago, resonate surprisingly with today's humor - we seem to find in them the energy of modern words like "flop" or "cringe." Never has an old film failed to hold my attention completely, and even deepen it towards the film's denouement. The song and the "Singin' in the rain" scene after the film ended remains etched in my mind. It is precisely the expression of overcoming difficult moments and personal boundaries, opening up and welcoming the new with a smile and an umbrella in hand in the rain, giving a sense of abright future. It's a timeless film that everyone is well advised to watch, for certainty they will enjoy it.

Singin’ in the Rain holds up as one of the great American comedies – not just a musical, but a whip-smart satire of Hollywood itself. The film takes aim at the transition from silent films to talkies with energy, irony and intelligence. Gene Kelly is magnetic, Debbie Reynolds holds her own admirably and Donald O’Connor nearly steals the show with his effortless comic timing and boundless physicality. Its most famous sequences – “Make ’Em Laugh” and the titular rain dance – are deservedly iconic, but the film’s real strength lies in how consistently clever it is. It’s light on its feet but rarely empty. Hollywood has made plenty of movies about itself – few this sharp or this joyful.

Nothing you can say will change my opinion this movie.

This is such a MOVIE-movie. It's the very essens of 'they-don't-make-'em-like-this-anymore'. Dosn't preach or have any deeper agenda. The goal is simply to entertain. And boy does it, by throwing so much fåkin' talent, charm and movie magic at you, you'll be unable to resist.

I watched a revival screening of this movie in Tokyo last weekend. I'm happy to have watched it on a big screen. All the dance scenes don't make me feel they are old. I heard laughter on the scene "the microphone isn't picking up sounds", which is so rare in Japan. Although I was about to be tired of the musical, I naturally teared up a lot at end of the movie. I guess the characters are simply positive and unrealistically beautiful. I wish I'd live in that world. I can't say Lina Lamont is a bad person.

Delightful movie, made the old fashion way. No computer graphics, no explosions, no improbable stunts. Plenty of singing, dancing, and humor. Overall a very entertaining, upbeat movie. I dont think ive ever smiled so much over the course of a movie before.

I enjoyed this film. This is a classic that has transcending the film world and still to this day is regarded as one of the best films. Overall I enjoyed the film and the characters with their respective journeys. The production was great with really awesome set pieces that are insane for a film as old as this. The class song and dance holds true to this day and remains an iconic scene. I think that all people should go out and watch this film because it offers a history lesson. This film is monumental to where we are in filmmaking today and for that i am thankful. People tend to ignore older films such as this one, but I encourage those to really watch this film and take in what was made before. While I didn't like it as much as others, I really appreciate it for what it is and its impact.

I’ve always wondered as to how many within the industry felt in regards to the transition of silent to sound back then during those times. I really loved how Singin’ in the Rain dives deep into this. It is such a great musical though, I really love the performances, but mostly as mentioned before, it’s take on the Hollywood transition of silence to sound, it’s mainly about adapting to change. You see how many struggle with this as it’s something completely brand new to them. I could only imagine how hard it would be to transition into something new when you’ve spent a better part of your life doing it another way. In this case, it’s about acting. These characters spent their lives focusing on their mannerisms as they partook in silent films just for now their voice also matters in their acting. This also feels like a love letter for those times and a feeling of so much nostalgia for those times, so much love is poured in for the silent era. This also has you taking a look at the many egos in the film industry, filled with so many difficulties, many are out there to survive on their own and will do anything to ensure their success that can be seen here in Singin’ in the Rain. Overall though, this film is to say the least; iconic. I loved this and really did appreciate just how great it was all around. From the singing pieces to its more dramatic moments.

Going into Singin' in the Rain I was a spectacle because its a singing-heavy film, a musical in a sense. But I can't speak too soon because I said the same thing about other musicals, and I ended up liking them. However, a reason why I felt gravitated and fully immersed into this film was because of its plot in general. It was so interesting to see one industry transition from one trajectory to another. We get to see Hollywood's transitional period from silent films, to full on singing and audio. I find it amazing how well this film was directed, from beginning to end, and overall the casting choices made. We follow two main actors who are transitioning with Hollywood itself, and trying to fit in into this new realm and era of movie making. Disregarding their fame and position, you cant take away how bad someone's voice is. Which is the case for this film. Overall, I enjoyed this film from start to finish. It was refreshing to watch, or I myself love to see transitional periods within an era or person. And of course it's more so like a behind-the-scenes film of film sets, which I liked even more. I would highly recommend this film to whoever has been holding back from watching it, or has yet to see it. Its fun, charismatic, and magnetic in general, a film you won't forget. Truly unforgettable.

Singin’ in the Rain (Dir. Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen) is a musical comedy centered around a Hollywood star by the name of Don Lockwood. Don Lockwood is constantly playing the role of romantic interest for his co-star Lina Lamont. They are both huge stars and audiences have made them out to be a sort of power couple. But of course, they’re far from that. Don hates Lina with every muscle in his body but Lina is this sort of naive and clueless character who believes Don is in love with her. The film is set in a time of transition from silent film to talking pictures and when a project is determined to work better as a musical, Don and his team must find a way for Lina to be in it without using her voice because she can not sing and her normal voice is far from pleasant. So they cast Don’s actual love interest, Kathy Selden as Lina’s singing and talking voice without giving any notice to Lina. For the majority of the film, I felt sympathy for Lina because it seemed like no one really cared for her as a person but only as a public figure that they could control. They wouldn’t even let her speak at events because they felt it would ruin her image. Although her actions went against Don and Kathy’s relationship I felt a sense of satisfaction when she walked into R.F. Simpson’s office and proved everyone wrong about her being naive. She was in full control up until the last scene where they still managed to make a joke out of her and she ran off the stage. I enjoyed the moments between Kathy and Don and I am 100% on Kathy getting credit for her own work but it feels like that happened at the expense of ridiculing someone who didn’t ask for a voiceover. Then again, Lina did insist on giving that speech herself.

While the singing aspect of Singin’ in the Rain is important because it uses back catalog songs from the era the film is placed in, some of the musical numbers seemed unnecessary, not doing anything to further the plot or give insight into a character or character relationship and instead being shoehorned in. While the singing itself and the performances are excellent, the whole movie pauses, some characters sing and dance, and it starts again. Musicals in general do have a tendency to take the audience out of the film a little bit, but it does seem that some of the songs could be better incorporated into the overall plot. The film is optimistic and bright and sticks with that theme throughout. The main characters are likeable but some of the actions of the antagonist, Lina, don’t make a lot of sense. She doesn’t have a real reason for most of her actions except for being the antagonist in the plot. The film is fun but the writing and story lacks complexity. There are some fun shots such as the sound stage scene and the setting of the entire story, clearly on sound stages, makes for a fun sort of behind the scenes feeling. I did enjoy the time setting and the challenges that the main characters face as a result of the transition from silent to sound film. It makes an interesting setting that shows some of the challenges that come with film production in a comedic and lighthearted manner.

I feel like singing in the rain is awfully nice to studio executives by making the owner/ceo/big man in charge look like a friendly old man. It does a very good job of showing how scary and stressed out a director can be especially when Roscoe Dexter gets frustrated with Lina’s high pitch voice messing up the microphones. I have had similar issues with microphones on my own film sets, which since I don’t do sound much I am as familiar with microphones as the crew in this film was. Luckily I would like to do color grading anyways so my lack of skill in dealing with sound probably will not affect me all that much. I think that Singin In the Rain doesn't actually go deep enough into the issues of recording sound, especially recording sound in that era. For example they could have made a gag about the sound deadening used in early sound stages. Which was just a bunch of mattresses stuck to the walls. They could have also shown some of the spotlights where you had to strike a spark in order to turn it on. Or even they could have shown how dangerous old c-stands are when they slowly loosen and then fall near you. It makes me kind of sad at the amount of lost opportunities they have lost by using a modern film sound stage. Honestly it even feels pretty lazy how they depict early film production in this movie. It definitely could have been a lot better.

Singing in the Rain is absolutely marvelous and has set the standard for musical films in Hollywood. It’s influence is seen in many other musical films and in pop culture. Oddly enough film is incredibly nostalgic for me but I had never seen the film in its entirety up until now. My family and I would sing a long to the sound track and watch videos of the musical scenes but I had never sat down and watched the film. Watching it after all this time and putting the pieces together I’ve grown to appreciate the film more now than I did before. The music, the choreography, the vibrant colors of the film are amazing and bring us to that broadway type of feeling where everything is over the top. Bigger choreography, bigger smiles, more color, just more of everything. This film is also unserious at times and the songs don’t push the plot of the film forward like how a song in a musical usually does. The story of this film involves the transition from silent films to talking pictures. It shows Hollywood’s adjusting period or the struggle Hollywood had to go through to get through this transition. Like in the scene where Lina had to keep redoing the scene because they weren’t catching the sound, every time she’d move her head away from the mic the sound would go in and out. I think this film is such a success due to the joyful singing and dancing but also it also shows the history of cinema and Hollywood’s capability to constantly adjust to change in technology and art.

Singin' in the Rain (Cantando na Chuva), is a classic that never loses its shine! As someone who is usually not a fan of comedy films and classics, I was surprised by the good energy and the perfection of the performances. I must confess that I was very curious, especially because of the famous scene of Gene Kelly singing and dancing in the rain, and the film surpassed all my expectations. Donald O'Connor is flawless. And the tap dance choreography has never seemed so fun. The music and dance scenes are simply unforgettable, and the film is a true antidote for any bad day. As one of the best musicals of all time, it is also a masterpiece of American cinema that remains current with every viewing.

Definitely a milestone in the story of cinema.

This is such an enjoyable and entertaining film, it is lighthearted and the story was both innovative to the evolution of sound in the film industry and well written. Could be that I’m a musical genre lover myself. It marks Hollywood transition to sound and embrace it entirely, almost showing off what they have, adopting a social relevant topic. I really like the character arc of Don and Kathy. One being the charming silent actor adapting to the new technology and him prioritizing Kathy’s talent and love over deceiving the audience. On the other hand, Kathy just shines her way into the industry. The fact that Lina’s character contrasts with Don reminds me of Norma’s character in Sunset Boulevard, and their characters were just so compelling. I especially love the scene of Don singing in the rain to express his love to Kathy, it was so iconic of cinema history. The film, the well used music and soundtrack stand out from the rest, as it’s so perfect that as if I’m actually watching a theater show myself, the choreography, interactions between characters, and the long continuous shots amazed me. On the other hand, it is a visual feast, the use of Technicolor not only add vibrancy to the story, it also emphasizes the film’s joyous vibe and upbeat tone. Highlighting the humor, romance within the musical show. I find this film refreshing to watch, superb production design and high-quality productions. It set the standard for musical films and received critical acclaim within the cinema world.

When you watch this movie, you're transported to a time when everything is vibrant, joyful, and full of wonderful energy. I got hooked by the film's ability to achieve a balance between humor and such a well-written storyline from the very first moments. The movie greatly explores the shift from silent to “talkie” films, which is an interesting era to relive for anybody interested in the history of film. Gene Kelly's performance as Don Lockwood perfectly captures the charm and vintage appeal that drive this film. You almost forget you're seeing something staged during his famous "Singin' in the Rain" performance because he makes everything look effortless. Additionally, Kelly's portrayal is balanced by Debbie Reynolds's realness as Kathy Selden, which makes their interaction an important aspect of the movie. Although I truly enjoyed the story, I believe the musical parts are what make this movie truly stand out. Even while each song and dance routine is amazing on its own, they are so effortlessly incorporated into the plot that they complement it rather than distract from it. Singin' in the Rain feels timeless despite taking place in the Hollywood atmosphere of the 1920s. One small criticism would be the pace in some scenes, but overall, the vibrant atmosphere and incredible performances more than make up for it. Although I wouldn't give it a five-star rating, this movie reminds me why I enjoy musicals. I understand why it's so popular, and I strongly recommend it to anybody hoping to experience some vintage Hollywood charm.

A classic musical led by Gene Kelly. The score of the movie is one of the greatest of all-time. The story is also sweet and fun to watch. There is a long scene at the end of the movie that I didn't really get and I don't understand its link with the rest of the story. Other than that, it's a great movie with great performances of Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor.

I really enjoyed Singin’ in the Rain. I think it gave a very lighthearted and fun feeling that made it easy to get lost in it, and it still feels kind of fresh despite it being made in 1952. I liked the story and the focus on a silent film star who has to adapt to these new things, and watching the chaos that comes with the transition was really entertaining. I liked that the directors gave a good balance of humor, romance, and musical elements so well, which kept the movie entertaining from start to finish. I think the camera work was great because it really highlights the choreography and dance scenes within the film. The cinematography used bright colors and wide shots which defined and captured the energy of the musical numbers, it sort of made me feel like I was there. The cast is also amazing. Gene Kelly was so great as Don, and Debbie Reynolds as Kathy was so sweet, I love a lot of her work. There's also Donald O’Connor, as Cosmo, who was hilarious and had really good comic timing! My final thoughts, I think Singin’ in the Rain is a great feel good movie. It’s a nice mix of humor, music, and romance.
