After watching the film, Singin' in the Rain, I can say that this was much more than entertainment. The part that added such depth to the movie was the "Broadway Melody". In this sequence, our main character, Don, is telling the producer of the film studio how a shot in their new film should be planned out. Going in an entirely different direction than the plot of the film, this section throws the viewer off from the actually movie. Only watching the film once, I was a little too shell shocked to pick up on the details of the performance. The sequence is almost a shorter version of the film as a whole: Star rises, finds girl, loses girl, then gains her back. As confusing as this was, "Broadway Melody" gave the film more depth, including the evolution of on-stage performances, from low level to Broadway itself. The "Broadway Melody" should not be removed from this film because this piece was intentionally placed there to add more to the film itself. If we were to go back and watch this sequence closely, we would find much more than we saw the first time. "Broadway Melody" helped to establish Singin' in the Rain as a film, and should not be removed!!!!!!!
I was watching family guy and found this clip that tied in so well with this topic. The sequence is only sort of relevant to the plot line, but still provides entertainment. This clip even has Gene Kelly in it!
Thanks for the clip. It's a shot for shot remake of a scene in Achors Aweigh: .
