Coincidently, the date is December 29th, 1929, and he is being treated for alcoholism and anger management, similar to what Fitzgerald was being treated with during this year.

    I have to disagree with both of these reviews. I believe that the story was brilliantly written and the cinematography was beautiful. This movie touched me and had me in tears, which believe me is hard to do. I do agree with the New York Times and New Yorker that it was a little dragged out and that Kiera Knightly's acting was over rated. Other than that, I would defiantly recommend this movie.

  • Singin In The Rain Analysis

    581 Words  | 2 Pages

    Both Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard (1950), and Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s Singin’ in the Rain (1952) tell the story about the film industry’s transition from silent pictures to “talkies,” however, they are drastically different in their themes and genres. Sunset Boulevard is drama, while Singin’ in the Rain is a musical comedy. Billy Wilder takes a darker approach to the transition to sound by depicting an actress, Norma Desmond, played by Gloria Swanson, that is left behind by the advent of sound unable to act. Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly take the opposite angle and completely contrast Wilder’s film with a spoof film about the movement to sound films. The clear contrast between these two films is seen in their camerawork. Wilder instills fear and sadness, while Donen and Kelly emit joy and laughter through their film.
