Singing in the rain: opening image: the opening image is at a movie premier with all the actors. However kathy is singing for her behind the curtain. Kathy to be the true talent behind lina"s voice: genre: musical, lots of choreography, main cast sings throughout. Explicit meaning: the explicit meaning is how the film business transitioned from the silent films to the talking pictures or cinema as we know it today. Implicit meaning: change is natural as should be embraced. The world is constantly changing and if we don"t change with it then we will be left behind.
