1950-1971

1950 through 1971 was a very difficult time for people all over the world.  This is a time period when the Cold War was just getting into effect, a time where people were feeling tense and anxious. A couple of decades laden with war, political and military uncertainty, propaganda, and economic hardships.  From the time the film “Singing in the Rain” premiered to the revision of the song in the movie “Clockwork Orange” the world suffered through the Korean War, The Vietnam War, the Berlin Crisis (in which Berlin split and the Berlin Wall was built) , and the Cuban Missile Crisis. These number of major political events that took place during that time shaped the society into the cold, harsh critic who only could have envisioned that twisted version of “Singing in the Rain”.
