Thank you for this great reaction! I hadn't seen that movie in a very long time and it was super fun to rewatch it with you! It's interesting to have reactions to classic movies like that.

2020-01-19 10:53:49 +0000 UTCYes... Debbie Reynolds died the night after her daughter, Carrie died. Carrie having died on December 26th, and Debbie on December 27th. A number of people believe she died from heartbreak, and I truly believe the loss of her daughter, who suffered for many years throughout her life from depression, bipolar disorder, and other illnesses to even drugs too... that heartbreak most certainly had something to do with Debbie's death too. It's so tragic. I love them both so much, and I deeply miss them.

2020-01-19 09:24:02 +0000 UTCThank you so very much for reacting to this movie!! I love it so much and I really, really loved your reaction to it. I'm so happy you loved it too. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds are phenomenal, and so much fun. I adore this movie and all of its characters. You're right that Don's smile is beautiful, and he, Cosmo, and Kathy are such energetic characters whom I love and will love forever. Gene Kelly is known to be one of the two most famous and beloved dancers of his time, and still today as well. Only Fred Astaire might surpass Gene Kelly's name in dance, and they are both absolutely phenomenal. And as for the actress and dancer who dances with Gene Kelly throughout the Broadway Melody sequence... Cyd Charisse... she is the most famous female dancer of her time too. And in answer to your question about how these song numbers are filmed and performed... they are all filmed in one-shot with no cuts in between, with the exception of the Broadway Melody sequence because it's performed in story form, with a number of scenes throughout it, and it's a lot longer than all the rest of the songs. The music is all phenomenal and beautiful. Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds are sensational. As for my favorite song, or songs... it's really hard to say because I love them all so much. I love Singin' in the Rain sung by Gene Kelly, Make 'Em Laugh sung by Donald O'Connor, Moses Supposes sung and danced by both Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor, and Good Morning sung by all three of our main characters. They're fabulous!! As for the Broadway Melody sequence... the movie they are making is set within the modern day of that time, and is about a man who comes to New York seeking to make a name for himself on Broadway, Vaudeville, etc... He wants to become a star. He soon becomes famous and is thrown into the big life where he meets and briefly falls in love with a woman. She doesn't work out, but Don's character within the movie they're making continues to grow in fame and one day when waiting backstage to go on, a sandbag falls and hits him on his head, causing him to fall back into the time of the French Revolution, which is why he and Lina Lamont are wearing the French costumes. This was the big idea which Conrad came up with for Don and Ron F. Simpson when he and Don are pitching their ideas to turn their flop movie into a musical. Long story short... Broadway Melody shows what is going to be seen within the modern setting of the movie. I hope this helps. Fun facts for you... When Donald O'Connor collapses to the ground when he finishes singing his song, Make 'Em Laugh, it's really because he did actually pass out. Donald O'Connor was a four pack a day smoker and he became winded after working so hard singing and dancing during this song. He made himself sick, yet performed this song over and over like it was no big deal and like his body didn't hurt. That is dedication and love for his work. I love Donald O'Connor!! Also, when Gene Kelly finally got around to filming his song, Singin' in the Rain, which is shown in this movie after he had rehearsed it a number of times, he had an extremely high fever. However, you can't tell just how sick Gene Kelly really is because he acts so happy and his performance during this song is flawless. Again... devotion and love for his work. Sensational!! As for Debbie Reynolds... she was never much of a dancer before she was in this movie. So she had to take many dance lessons and classes, and was helped a lot by her co-stars Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. And she danced right along with them like she had been dancing for years. Amazing!! Lastly... I love Lena Lamont too. Her voice is hilarious and Jean Hagen is brilliant in this role. She makes me think of Marilyn Monroe a lot, from her voice to her ditziness. Is Lena dumb... not really, but she isn't the smartest either. However, there's definitely more to her than Don, Cosmo, Kathy, and Mr. Simpson ever knew because she's most certainly conniving. Thank you very much!! I look forward to more musical reactions from you in the future, as well as the rest of your movie reactions. Until next time...
