Singin’ in the Rain

Posted on by

Singin’ in the Rain has always an enjoyable film to watch ever since I was a little kid.  And after watching this film again, I see a connection with the first High School Musical.  I’m not saying by any means that I like High School Musical, but there are similarities in the movies that can not go unnoticed.  The most obvious connection is that these are both musicals of course.  But another similarity is that Sharpay is like Lina in a sense.  Sharpay is this popular girl who is atop the drama department like how Lina is famous actor at Monumental studios.  And then Sharpay tries to sabotage Gabriella’s chance of being the lead actor in the play by changing the audition time so Gabriella can’t make it.  In Lina’s case, she has Kathy fired and she tries to ruin Kathy’s career by having her lip sing in all of her movies.  But in both situations, Troy and Don both find ways to save their lovers career.

After talking about this in class, I think my opinion has changed on Lina and I actually feel a little bit sorry for her.  A lot of movies and tv shows always have that character who is just stupid but funny at the same time.  For example, in Spongebob, the character would be Patrick Star and in the Hangover, it’s Alan.  It’s just a shame that Lina had to be the antagonist and the stupid character at the same time.  And there are parts of the movies where she appears to be dumb but it really is not her fault for acting like this.  In the scene where the director is trying to place the microphone inside Lina’s shoulder, she moves her head around so the sound fluctuates and sounds awful.  But it really could have been anyone who would had trouble speaking into the microphone because in the movie the date was 1927 and a lot of those people had not used a microphone in their acting careers.

Another thing to feel sorry for about Lina is that she was trying to sabotage Kathy’s career just so she can save her own.  And by doing this, she is seen as the antagonist of the movie.  But I can see why she trying to sabotage Kathy’s career because it probably would  have left her without an acting job.  And I know there are people that are thinking the same thing too because there are people out there who want to keep their jobs and they will do anything even if it means ruining someone else.  By no means do I approve of this, but I’m just saying I can see where Lina was coming from.  And it’s not like Kathy would have been out of a job.  She still was getting paid for talking and singing for Lina.  Sure she would not have the fame, but she probably will still be employed unlike Lina when they found out the truth.

I don’t know if this was planned, but I thought this movie was a great segue because we had just finished talking about soundless movies with orchestras playing live.  And the movie Royal Rascal was an example that was like “Sherlock Jr” and “Man with a Movie Camera.”
