Cut throat approaches, the pressure on actors and actresses to deliver and earn others money whilst conveying an almost derogatory request directed at the actors and actresses. There was bad feeling and unrest within the cast of the original film where Gene Kelly scalded Reynolds for not being good enough in her dance scenes, there was also unrest with those who had previously been stars of the silent movies. I also saw it as an opportunity to create a ghost like quality for those lost in\/to Hollywood. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFYI the tone of this piece was driven through listening to System of a down - Lost in Hollywood, a dark song with great lines. Rather than simply try and recreate the iconic street and lamppost scene I have created a similar setting but a much darker version, where a gritty backstreet would exist just a short drive from the bright lights of Hollywood. The rain has stopped for now and a large puddle overlays the cobbles, the iconic lamppost is there with Gene Kelly depicted in twinkling lights, a large splash exists yet no one is there to create it, to further support the ghost-like quality. Genes’ iconic sports car is parked up on the street whilst a public payphone receiver hangs down, as if someone had to make a panicked call or possibly didn’t end too well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA sign hangs over the scene ‘Reynolds Dance School’ a nod to the above where she was slated. What I wanted to do was to suggest but not dictate, to make you think what is going on, to create your own story from what exists in the scene, all with a dark undertone running rife. I wanted to create a striking, beautiful piece that embraces everything that is wonderful about black and white art. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Black Frame £1195","offer_id":55978708337026,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - White Frame £1195","offer_id":55978708369794,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Custom Painted Frame £1545","offer_id":55978708402562,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9690\/0994\/files\/MJDSIRIO.jpg?v=1763380411","url":"https:\/\/www.retrobyronniefineart.co.uk\/products\/make-it-rain-singin-in-the-rain","provider":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
