Today is impossible imagine someone turns on a TV and he/her sees
a movie without sound. But, in the past it was common. Who don't know who Charlie
Chaplin are? The famous guy with a short mustache!
So, before the World War II the countries emerged themselves,
rebuilding and developing the technology. With the war, came the changes! And
in the industry of movies couldn't be different. The new trend was the talked
movie, but it was a big challenge. An important movie which represents that
transition of silent movies to talkies movies is the "Singn' in the
Rain". A romance musical film was directed and stared by Gene Kelly, a
great dancer, choreographer, singer and actor; and developed in the MGM studios.
The film was considered "one of the greatest movies ever made about the
history of the movies" according to Barry Bradford in his article
"Why Singn' in the Rain Matters" until today can breathtaking those
who watch. And this fact shows the perfection which this film was recorded.
Not only the film, but the music “Singn’ in the Rain”, after the
movie, was very famous and it is known until today. The music was created in
1929 by Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown for MGM’s Hollywood Revue of 1929. In
the movie the music was interpreted by Gene Kelly after a meeting, and the
music traduces the man’s happiness. Probably he finds his soul mate. He didn’t
matter if was raining, because he was so happy. Everyone already saw at least
one time, this scene, the man carrying an umbrella and singing in the street.
This is the most famous image of the movie.
