We've already studied movie musicals in class, but we only watched one musical, Singin' in the Rain (1952). This time, you can watch a more modern movie musical! When you're done watching the film, you'll write an 8-sentence paragraph on how songs are used in the film to advance the story or develop the characters. This is just like the last time we watched and analyzed a musical, but with a new, modern musical.
