The Genre Dimension• What expectations do you have of a musical? How does “Singin’ in
the Rain” meet those expectations, and violate or subvert those expectations?
• How have musicals changed over the decades?
• In what ways do musicals reflect the mores, attitudes, and fixations of their eras?
• How do you react when a character in a movie bursts into song? Why do you react this way?
• How does the factor of verisimilitude play in to the acceptance or rejection of musicals as a genre?
• Are animated musicals more palatable than live action musicals? Why?
