An American in Paris

Watch this instead of La La Land

I can appreciate the talent and the creativity. There were a lot of really cool and impressive aspects but it was also slow, dated and at times a bit too extravagant for my taste.

Best Picture Oscar winner 1952 (24th Academy Awards)
My Rating: 7/10

Nominated for 8 Oscar’s and won 6. It also won the inaugural golden globe best pic. Can’t go wrong with Gene Kelly in a musical. But it’s not Singin in the Rain. Leslie Caron’s film debut and she is just absolutely gorgeous. Watching her dance makes the movie.

Gene Kelly is amazing and he dances his ass off, my compliments really, BUT the movie it’s so heavy with a premise so light.

some parts did not age well
