Sunday, 22 May 2011
It’s another day counting down to that fateful birthday. This one is just an aside post, think of it was a footnote.
So, the world is still spinning. So what better way to celebrate that than with some music?
An American In Paris has soured me terribly on Gene Kelly, but Singin’ in the Rain is so much it’s difficult not to find it especially charming. Everything about it is, I even find Jean Hagen’s Lina charming with her poor enunciation and all. My seven year old nephew loves this movie. True, he’s a fan of musicals but the first time he watched it and went around reciting Lina’s “Am I dumb or something?” It’s not that concept for the musical is that freshly innovative, but it’s all about charm. Truly, newness isn’t everything. Something’s a nice, charming good morning is all it takes.
As you were with your Sunday.
