Singin' in the Rain

In the 1950's when Singin' in the Rain came out, music and color were just new additions to film. The song was a happy song and reflected on the simple pleasures of life. Films were a huge part of entertainment at this time and many people enjoyed going and seeing them. In 1971 A Clockwork Orange came out. This film was about the end of civilization where laws and order werent being followed. Sex, drugs and crime were popular in this film as well as in civilization. The sexual revolution of the '60's led up to why this film was the way it was. With this and the rise in different forms of music and drug use, Singin' in the Rain was not so much about the simple happy things in life. When the man sings this in A Clockwork Orange he's taking advantage of a woman. He's swinging her around, tieing her up and touching her inappropriately. He plans to rape and kill her. The difference between the 1950's and the 1970's was because of what went on in between. Between the casual sex, the drug use, and the different forms of music people were acting and entertaining themselves in new ways.
