Introducing later movie which use songs played in "Singin' in the Rain" ① "Minions"

I am Japanese. I write this blog not only in Japanese but also in English. But I'm not good at English very much, so I think that there are many mistakes in my English. I appropriate your understanding.

Almost songs used in Singin' in the Rain are songs that had already been used in other films. These songs were written by Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown before they made Singin' in the Rain.

"Then, what is the originally movies of songs sung in Singin' in the Rain?" 

So,　I have written the series, "Introducing first appearance movies of songs sung in "Singin' in the Rain" twice.

The series is this↓(Jump to other articles in this blog)

I'll continue this series (I really want to watch "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" but is there Japanese subtitle version???)

And I also start new series that introducing the movie which use songs played in "Singin' in the Rain" and which was made after Singin' in the Rain"!

The memorable first article of this series is "Minions" released in 2015. This movie features the well-known popular character, Minion.

It's a lively movie with scenes in which Minions sing. One of the songs is "Make' Em Laugh"! It is sung by Cosmo Brown, played by Donald O'Connor in "Singin' in the Rain," with O'Connor's amazing running up a cliff and dancing. 

In "Minions", many Minions sing this song in chorus with not English but probably Minion's language.

When the movie was released, I had already loved "Singing in the Rain".  I was very impressed that I could hear this song in the theater and I could watch letters, "Singing in the Rain", "Arthur Freed" and "Nacio Brown" on the screen during the staff roll. Because, at that time, I thought that we can never watch "Singin' in the Rain", the movie released in 1952, on the theater's big screen.

However, the movie that will be shown in March at this year's 「午前十時の映画祭」*1 is "Singin' in the Rain"!!

I heard that "Singin' in the Rain" has been screened at 午前十時の映画祭 in the past, but I didn't know the existence of 午前十時の映画祭 at that time, so I am so happy that "Singin' in the Rain" is showing again this year.

 I'll definitely go to watch!!!! Let's go to watch, everyone!!!!

My enthusiasm for "Singin' in the Rain" is too increasing. 

If you like Singin' in the Rain like me, please try to listen to "Make' Em Laugh" sung by the Minions.

On the other hand, if you like Minions, check out the hilarious "Make 'Em Laugh " scene of "Singin' in the Rain".

See you again!

Note

*1:午前十時の映画祭　"Gozen-Juji-No-Eigasai" it means "10AM film festival".

This is the Japanese event that old masterpiece movies is shown in movie theater.

We can watch old various masterpiece movies in many parts of Japan's movie theaters. 

In 午前十時の映画祭, foreign movie is shown with Japanese subtitle not Japanese dubbing. So, people who can't listen Japanese well can enjoy movies.
