Singing in the Rain questions

1. There's many scenes in the movie that are "out of sync". For example, when Don Lockwood was describing his childhood. The effect of this ironic contrast is that he would say things like that he was a good performer when he was younger and he lies about it to make him seem better.
2. the history of motion pictures is represented with the transition between silent movies and the talkies. The film shows the difficulties that silent film actors and actresses had with the transition.
3. In this movie, the audience is laughing a lot whenever Lina Lemont is in a scene. Her voice and how she acts create a lot of comedy and adds a lot to the film. This all serves as a point of reference for the viewers to know that it's actually comedy and that she isn't actually bad.
4. In this film, i think that the drama and musical scenes are equally balanced. There was a lot of dramatic scenes and the musical scenes would tie into it very well so that there would be an equal amount in both.
5. All of the romance scenes would smoothly transition into a happy musical number about how much they were in love with eachother.
6. I don't agree because there are so many musicals still out there today that are extremely popular like HSM, and all of those disney movies. Many people out there still really like musicals and they still get great reviews from audiences.
