One of best-loved musicals. The film centers on a family and follows their lives over four seasons of a year. The themes embrace home, family and young love. There is a darker motif that runs through film represented by the mise-en-scène with shadowy lighting, gesture. Notice Technicolor production design, music, alternative subtexts.
@FilmForum To me not that much about racism. More about the exploration of the complexity of the humanity. About we get into our emotions that dictate our judgements or pov. About coming together, finding the commonality within each other, accepting not exploding the differences. It's a good movie because it actually gives you complicated people.
