That camera zoom at 2:14. After 5 hours of searching that music you play when you set foot on a new planet. Here I am. My heart after listening to this piece? Contented To my playlist? Added Clarinet glissando? Smooth Hotel? Trivago. When "An American in Paris" won the coveted Oscar in 1951 as best picture, much controversy was generated.

The dissatisfaction centered around the fact that the film had a very thin plot and I'm being kind at that. Yes, there was entertainment there, but in a year of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "A Place in the Sun, the Motion Picture Academy had much better material to work with. The basic story is a GI Kelly who stays in France after World War 11 ends. There he meets a young, captivating Leslie Caron. The two fall in love and their love is depicted by dancing all over gay Paris. They dance in the streets, they dance on tables-they are all over the place. Enough is enough already. Georges Guetary and Nina Foch are along for the ride as well as the usual zany Oscar Levant.

Todo el mundo aplaude cuando termina una sinfonía de Beethoven, pero nadie lo hace cuando acaba una de Strauss. Todos como que esperan a ver si de verdad ya acabó. I think Michael Jackson was influenced by this. I often see a lot of people here bringing up her path to success, so as someone who's fairly familiar with the full story, here's my write-up about her rise to fame, and which points of her career saw her benefit from the support of her wealthy parents and which parts were the result of her hard work or talent. Family Background Taylor's father is a stock broker and financial adviser, and her mother was a mutual fund marketing executive until she became pregnant with Taylor when she decided to settle down in a Christmas tree farm with some horses outside of Reading, PA and be a stay at home mom to Taylor and her younger brother. When Taylor was around 8-9 years old, they sold the farm to move into a big house in suburban Reading, and also bought a beach house on the New Jersey coast. The suburban house sold for $750, 000 a few years ago so they were wealthier than middle class but still quite far from the level of Paris Hilton's family. It seemed like her parents were initially reluctant to fully commit to their daughter's career by moving to Nashville. It's quite possible that they saw better opportunities for her to follow her father into business than into music since despite being wealthy they didn't have any industry connections or know very much about how to succeed in what is a rather tough industry to break into. Nonetheless, they still had enough disposable income to support what they initially saw (when she was 9-11) as more of a hobby for her, by buying her a nice guitar, paying for private guitar lessons, as well as the time commitment of taking her to rehearsals for a Broadway style children's theater group and karaoke nights at local pubs and cafes. 2000-2002 - first attempts to get noticed After watching a documentary about how moving to Nashville was so important to kick-start the career of one of her idols, Faith Hill, Taylor became convinced that that's where she had to go, so she recorded a few of her favorite country songs on a demo CD, and at age 11, convinced her mom to drive her to Nashville to walk into the music labels on music row. Her mother, probably wanting to encourage her daughter to learn to act with agency, had her walk into the labels on her own while she waited in the car. Unsurprisingly, the labels thought she was far too young to take a risk on and she didn't get any calls, but her parents, despite not having any experience in music, still came from business backgrounds and understood the importance of building up a resume, networking, marketing, etc. After that initial failure, Taylor (and/or her parents? ) realized that one way she could stand out from the other girls trying to break into the music industry was to learn to write her music. It made sense since she was already getting plenty of praise from her teachers for her writing and won a national poetry contest for grade 5 students and it was something she enjoyed just as much (if not more) than performing. For example, when she was 11, she wrote a 300 page novel inspired by the experiences of her and her friends during her summer break. In 2002, they had a website made for her that featured download links to some of her songs, including a couple of her self-written ones. Her parents also understood the importance of getting her in front of people, so that hopefully one day, one of those people would be someone from the music industry that saw the potential in her. They realized the best way to do that was to apply to perform the national anthem at sports games, state fairs, and anywhere that would take her. For her first big performances at a Philadelphia 76ers game, her father did seem to have leveraged his business connections, but that's not where she got noticed. 2002-2003 Discovery by talent manager Dan Dymtrow In late summer of 2002, she won the audition to perform "America The Beautiful" at the US Tennis Open. Her performance impressed Dan Dymtrow, a talent manager in the music industry, and the entertainment director the US Open sent him Taylor's demo CD of cover songs. Taylor Swift and her parents met Dan Dymtrow in January, 2003 and entered a management agreement couple months later. It's unclear what exactly the terms were. Her parents fired him in 2005 just before she signed with Big Machine Records. He then sued them for unjustly ending his contract and causing him to lose out on a significant among of revenue - apparently he was supposed to get 5-10% of her music revenue, and since he was fired before her career took off, that basically means he got none of that. It seems like they were able to disavow his contract because Taylor was a minor and he didn't get the required court approval for the contract. According to that court case, her parents paid him $10, 000 for his services over those two years, so perhaps he didn't expect her career to do that great and was happy to take the money from her well to do parents in spite of a fuzzy contract. Either way, her career did start progressing faster after he became her manager. In Spring 2003, Taylor also met producer and music engineer Steve "Mr. Mig" Migliore, who recorded a few demos of her self-written songs and who she made a strong positive impression on and he began talking positively about her to his industry connections. At the time, Dan Dymtrow was an apprentice for Britney Spears' manager, and in summer 2003, Taylor became enrolled in Britney Spears' performing arts camp for 10 days. The camp ran as a charity and most of the kids were low-income but Taylor's parents apparently were able to get Taylor a spot there by making a donation (hopefully they donated enough to make room for another student so she didn't take another low income student's spot? ). 2003-2004 First record deal, and beginning of professional song-writing career Taylor's demos got sent around to various labels, and in fall of 2003 when Taylor was 13 years old, RCA Records, whose roster included most of the biggest teen-pop artists, offered Taylor Swift a development deal. It seems like the idea behind a development deal, is that you're not confident enough to commit the full amount of resources required to pay to record an album and give it a proper promotional effort, but you think the artist has potential, so to keep them from going to another label, you give them a development deal and give them a little bit of help by introducing them to song-writers. One of the early song-writers Taylor met was Liz Rose, who worked for Sony/ATV at their Nashville office. Sony/ATV is one of the biggest music publishers in the business, and Taylor soon began working with many other song-writers and producers tied to Sony/ATV's Nashville network and making increasingly regular trips from Pennsylvania to Nashville. These song-writers and producers weren't artists that made it big, some might've been part-time, while others were successful enough to make a living out of it. Song-writers like this aren't generally paid to work with aspiring as-of-yet-unproven artists like Taylor, they usually work with these young artists if they see potential for that artist to have future success, at which point they'll get royalties from the music sales and something nice to put on their resumes. Although they may have talent and experience, they often lack the clout necessary to work with established artists and look for promising up-and-comers. For example, Robert Ellis Orrall mentioned in a podcast interview that after writing songs with Taylor in 2003, he thought she really had what it takes to make it big and that her debut album would go 3x Platinum. In early 2004, shortly after turning 14, Taylor's success working with the Sony/ATV Nashville circle of song-writers got her hired as their youngest song-writer ever. From my understanding, music publishers usually hire song-writers like this if they think they'll either have success selling their songs to other artists, or be able to get royalties from the songs the artist keeps for themselves and later releases. In Taylor's case, she kept most of the songs for herself, but she did sell a few to other aspiring country singers such as Shea Fisher and Britni Hoover. She tried selling Teardrops On My Guitar to the Dixie Chicks by changing "Drew" in her lyrics to "You" so it didn't seem as teenager-y, but they didn't bite. She also signed a music licensing contract with BMI Publishing in March, 2004. 2004 - Move to Nashville, departure from RCA Records, firing of Dan Dymtrow and discovery by Scott Borchetta As Taylor's career was gaining momentum in Nashville, her father decided to move his business and family there so that Taylor could more easily pursue her country music career. Her manager Dan Dymtrow also helped her get a song she wrote when she was 12 onto a promotional CD called "Chicks With Attitude" for a of summer concert tour sponsored by Maybelline. He also helped get her a page in an issue of Abercrombie & Fitch called "Rising Stars", which helped give her a marketable image if she even wanted to look for a new label. Which, soon enough, she would. RCA's specialty seemed to be pop stars, they were the label of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Usher, N-Sync and the Backstreet Boys. They wanted Taylor to record songs by other song-writers, and seemed unwilling to commit to a record deal until she was 18. She wanted to record her own songs, and wanted to get started ASAP, while she was still the teenager that her songs showcased. So she started sending promotional packages to various labels and chose to walk away from her development deal with RCA by declining to renew it for another year at the end of the summer of 2004. One of those packages reached Scott Borchetta, who worked at Universal Music Nashville. He liked what he
The add first with Jodie Foster. little by little I see a few more ladies on set and I'm not just speaking of grips (and that's hard work) but I see camera operators etc and once on Lie to Me I saw a rrounded by 6 other camera believe me, THOSE MEN LISTENED TO HER and her ideas. she was amazing. 37:23 makes me so grateful to be alive. I refuse any song that doesn't blast cannons from now on.

That intro playing made me CRASH the like button. Dear trumpet section, we get it. A concerned violinist. Minnie The Moocher. I'm in love with him.

An American in Paris was, in many ways, the ultimate mixture of art and Hollywood musical. Made at the height of MGM's powers as a musical powerhouse, the film features memorable music from the Gershwins, who rightly have been called the 20th Century's equivalent of Beethoven and Mozart. Gene Kelly was also at the height of his powers in this film, though it could be rightly argued that this movie was just the warm-up for his best work in Singin' in the Rain (1952. The two films are actually closely linked. Aside from the Arthur Freed connection, the Broadway Melody segment in "Rain" owes its existence to the incredible American in Paris Ballet sequence in this film. This might well have been the only time a dance number is specially mentioned in the opening credits of the film. And it deserved to be, as it showcases Gene Kelly's skills as a dancer and choreographer to their utmost degree. The film's cast is uniformly excellent. Leslie Caron, incredibly making her film debut, shows a maturity that makes you think she'd been making films for years. Her introductory dance sequence, and later her work on the Ballet, provides some surprisingly sexy moments rivalled in MGM Musicals only by Cyd Charisse's work in Singin' in the Rain and The Band Wagon. Oscar Levant is hilarious as Kelly's stoic pal, who gets two of the film's best moments: during the end party sequence (which I will not give away for anyone who hasn't seen the film) and one of the film's most memorable musical numbers which couples his incredible piano skills with state-of-the-art (for the time) special effects. Less memorable are Georges Guetary as Kelly's romantic rival, though he does get a few musical highlights, and Nina Foch as Leslie Caron's romantic rival. The May-December relationship between Kelly's character and Nina's reminded me of the same "kept man" relationship seen between George Peppard and Patricia Neal in Breakfast at Tiffany's. There are a few elements of the film that made it less satisfying for me than Singin' in the Rain. The Ballet, though lavish and well-produced, doesn't really fit with the rest of the movie. Without giving away the plot, the Ballet just happens, with no real rhyme or reason. And unlike the Broadway Melody sequence, it really doesn't have anything to do with the plot. and in the best musicals, the songs always have some sort of raison d'etre. Making matters worse is the ending of the film which happens immediately after the Ballet. Although the ending shouldn't be a surprise (this IS an MGM musical, after all) I was hoping for a bit more. movie after the Ballet ended. It's as if director Vincente Minnelli felt that he couldn't follow the Ballet with anything else. The film literally left me in the lurch. That negative aside, An American in Paris rightly ranks alongside the best of Hollywood's musicals. It doesn't quite reach the heights of Singin' in the Rain, but it comes close and it remains a testament to Gene Kelly's skills as one of the greatest dancers of all time.
