Singing in the rain!

I thought the contrast between singing in the rain and clockwork orange was very strange to see. singing in the rain is a very happy and feel god movie. the scene when Gene Kelly was preforming singing in the rain was such a joyful part of the movie. This is when his character realizes that he is in love. However the clockwork orange scene which featured the song was creepy and violent. It had the exact opposite effect of Gene Kelly's version. Perhaps the times were simpler in 1952. Movies often reflect the themes and spirit of society. It was a simpler time in the 1950's when people had fewer concerns and responsibilities. In the 1960's and 70's America was immersed in the drug culture. Clock work orange reflects this activity. It is amazing to see the change in our society with in 20 years. A beloved song terned into a terrorizing song with in 20 years.
