@ISpecialED It was pig latin. It was a most appropriate song then at the height of the depression and sadly today it resonates. We're in the same place. Ginger sings about being " in the money " but few of us today actually are.
Ginger, once again demonstrates her legendary talents in this early gem. Few, infact were in the money when this was made, but that wasn't the point here. It was about making the audience feel that they were in the money in someway.
@DShephard91 As I understand it, Ginger Rogers came up with it, herself. Between rehersals for the film, she sang the song in pig Latin, to entertain the other actors. Busby Berkeley heard it, thought it was clever, & had her do it in the film.
I like it because, in essence, we're seeing something of Ginger Rogers' personality coming through.
@DShephard91 Because this was 1933. When they made this film they weren't thinking about people watching clips of it on YouTube 80 years later. Back before we had all the distractions we have today (TV, Internet etc.) people had to amuse themselves somehow, Pig Latin was a big fad then and everybody in the theater would have known what was going on and would marvel at how great Ginger was at it.
It's about Precious Metals being used as Money...GOLD and SILVER(.)
...What we used before the Federal Reserve was created after two previous failed atempts, which gave us unconstitutional Fiat paper currency and made debt slaves of us all, and the "Great" Depression.
All Fiat currencies end...badly.
Folks are investing in GOLD and SILVER once again as History rhymes with itself once again.
Ginger owned the stage in this fine musical, the first of a many. She demonstrated and reinforced her lengendary talents in the next ten musicals she did with Fred Astaire. Yes, few were "in the money" during that time, but that wasn't the point. These films provided an escape to the masses that were in fact, not in the money due to the great depression. It was a fantasy. Busby Berkely and Ginger Rogers delivered quite nicely. Thank you for posting this.
@ewd76 Well I used to when I was a kid watching old reruns of The Three Stooges. Probably a fad back in the 1930s. I suppose it was a way for kids to keep adults from understanding them but when I was growing up we had gone on to Ubbi Dubbi (where you put an "ub" in front of the first vowel of each syllable of each word) instead.
@EdM021 That's the point - to throw off the censorship which was going overboard at that time... But look at how things are now... They did TOO good of a job : \
@jackpwn It's when the camera zooms in real close and she seems to speaking a different language...it is essentially just a play off of English, but sounds pretty foreign.
This was the film within the film in "Bonnie and Clyde". Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) hums it to herself and tries to remember the words later at home, while smoking and trying on a coin necklace.
Corporate propaganda to keep the poor from rising up and eating the rich alive. It's the same today. The rich have given away our jobs, killed us in pointless wars, they don't pay taxes. Today they cover this up by giving us religion, 'family values,' sports, and crime stories, brainless entertainment on TV. When are we going to wake up?
@Axgoodofdunemaul Thats putting it mildly! I don't think there's going to be much waking up though, sadly, private personal revolutions are the only ones that stand a chance of succeeding, that's what I think anyway, the only alternative is armed struggle and insurrection, but it comes at such a price that I can't contemplate it seriously but certainly understand people who have in the past (RAF etc.)
Sorry, a bit philosophical tonight.... Writing songs or making pictures is a good idea?
@Axgoodofdunemaul This is actually about the need to come off the 'gold standard' one of the major causes of the recession, the progressive movement wanted to use silver as a substitute hence the line 'With silver you can turn your dreams to gold'. And given another number from the same film 'remember my forgotten man' about the soldiers and farmers forgotten about by the govt and unable to get any sort of welfare, another major problem in this time I would say this was a very progressive film.
@Axgoodofdunemaul ummmm... false.. The rich pay more taxes than any other financial group. Do your research. There is nothing wrong with religion, family values, sports, and entertainment. When are you going to wake up?
@TheAmericanDefender let this kid dream of change a little, the day he'll have children is going to settle itself and stop worrying about that and keep working for the ''rich people'' without asking any motherfucking question!
@Axgoodofdunemaul Producing and having real wealth is not the problem. GOLD and SILVER are Money(.) and have been for thousands of years, except for periods of Fiat paper Currency like we have today because of a Central Bank and Fractional Reserve System.
"Eat the Rich"? No, we need to end the Federal Reserve and return to sound Money.
That is what I take away from watching this performance.
do you see the irony in using a website from a corporation to express an anti-corporate message? Maybe you should use two cups attached with a string to say these things. Only that you would have to make the cups and the string yourself and not buy them at walmart.
Good grief, since when did "family values" become something negative? What a backwards nut-job. I for one don't watch "Brainless entertainment"... it's as easy as having the discernment to walk over to turn your TV off when you see something you don't like... Now be a peach and please keep your own illogical and misguided propaganda off of this last haven for decent TV, hmm? :) Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful! They don't make them like that anymore. Was Pig Latin that popular in the 1939's? I am a fan of anything Art Deco, so I will have to look that one up.
At 2:06 notice how Ginger's teeth look so different from stars today who wear caps and whiten their teeth. I read how during the depression Americans went to the movies once a day to escape their troubles.
@darlinkula1 A big draw to 1930s movies was the fact that (during the dustbowl) theatres were air conditioned and few if any homes were. Also, a lot of movie houses had dish giveaway promotions.Two reasons Hollywood kept its head above water during the Great Depression.
Fred Astaire? Fred who? XD Ginger is on fire here. I vaguely remember this from my childhood, but I didn't know Ginger Rogers was the lead singer. What a performance!
@Alectr0n The monaural film sound recording from this time period is actually quite good. By 1933, most of the early sound on film difficulties had been resolved. The sound is good enough that I wish that someone would replicate the sound of the Warner Bros. Orchestra of the time. In Surroundsound.
Wasn't that the year FDR took office and started the New Deal?;) Talk about a propaganda piece for the New Deal! Great song, but it is a propaganda piece. We did not get out of the Depression until WW2 broke out.
@Manateepocket Of all the major Hollywood studios, Warner Brothers was the most unabashedly pro-New Deal; in one of their films a Busby Berkeley production numbers even forms the NRA Eagle!
Just the same, you've been brainwashed by too much "conservative" talk-radio. Yes, the New Deal didn't end The Great Depression but it did ameliorate it and it also gave us much of the reform legislation that really did put poor and middle class people on more of an equal footing with the rich & influential
@SeattleLA Because film writers and actor's of today suck. This is real movie's and real actor's. Huge film set's, anf film support staff and real brain work from the wroter's. Now today you have green screen's and computer animated scenes. Pure shit if you ask me!
@CSXtrackworker Very good comments, thank you. Of course, the music industry is as you said too. I am working on a movie which wojuld include similar work to Busby's.
@CSXtrackworker I wanna be a film writer and an actor, but i don't wanna make all this bullshit 3D movies. I just make a lotta classics movies, having Tommy guns in almost every movie and all my movies' gonna have classic music, unlike bullshit modern day music like Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga. And I like way more classic movies than today's. Would I have more respect as an actor and filmmaker?
@victorspell1 You would definately have my respect for makeing movies like that!! I agree 100% with what you said. Movies today suck, too much computer animation. If they needed something for a film, they made it.
@CSXtrackworker All of that computer stuff takes a lot of brain work, skill and talent as well. I should know. You shouldn't cheapen what they do. Both the old school and the new school deserve respect.
Would you please PLEASE stop adding apostrophes to all your words that end with an 's'? Examples: green screens, movies, film sets, actors. There should be no apostrophe in any of the cases in which you have used one. Thank you, CSXtrackworker!
@CSXtrackworker You know nothing when it comes to movie production/writing, that much is clear. Things evolve, get over it. Can you imagine sticking with the same equipment/methods that were used back then? Absolutely not. You are talking out of your ass. Back then, movies only took a few months to make. Even with the technology we have today (green screens, CGI, ect...,) movies can take a year+. And it's of pure (willful) ignorance that you say they had "real actors, real movies." (continued)
@SK8terGuy19 I know nothing? Before I took a career change and went with the railroad, I worked for BBC America channel in film editing and production. Rethink your replies next time you speak with someone who has worked in this area. The only ingnorance that is shown, is that of your reply.
@CSXtrackworker Awesome! You worked for BBC, congratulations. If you don't mind me asking, what movies did you take part in creating? Also, you never addressed any previous statements of mine. What is your reasoning behind preferring older movies to newer ones? It can't be because they had "more talent", as I've already explained is not true. Is it just for the fact that they're older? If that's the case, then there is absolutely no basis for that type of thinking and that makes you a hipster.
@CSXtrackworker (continued) Yes, of course they had "real" actors and movies, but it was still a relatively new technology. And because of that, let's face it, most of them actually sucked. Now, this is all subjective, but think about it. Don't get me wrong, they were the pioneers. Over the years we've learned a lot. It's all about the "suspension of disbelief." Most old movies had a hard time doing that. You can tell from most movies today that they have gotten pretty good at it since then.
Ginger is the greatest.

Question: Why has no one attempted to duplicate his genius before or since?

@SeattleLA Because film writers and actor's of today suck. This is real movie's and real actor's. Huge film set's, anf film support staff and real brain work from the wroter's. Now today you have green screen's and computer animated scenes. Pure shit if you ask me!

@CSXtrackworker I wanna be a film writer and an actor, but i don't wanna make all this bullshit 3D movies. I just make a lotta classics movies, having Tommy guns in almost every movie and all my movies' gonna have classic music, unlike bullshit modern day music like Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga. And I like way more classic movies than today's. Would I have more respect as an actor and filmmaker?

@victorspell1 You would definately have my respect for makeing movies like that!! I agree 100% with what you said. Movies today suck, too much computer animation. If they needed something for a film, they made it.
CSXtrackworker 6 months ago
@CSXtrackworker All of that computer stuff takes a lot of brain work, skill and talent as well. I should know. You shouldn't cheapen what they do. Both the old school and the new school deserve respect.

Would you please PLEASE stop adding apostrophes to all your words that end with an 's'? Examples: green screens, movies, film sets, actors. There should be no apostrophe in any of the cases in which you have used one. Thank you, CSXtrackworker!

All right. Don't be offended. I just wonder how you cope in your daily life, with such an abundance of apostrophes.

@seanlennonthethird I am not offended. If I were, my reply would all be in capital letters and curse words added.

@CSXtrackworker You know nothing when it comes to movie production/writing, that much is clear. Things evolve, get over it. Can you imagine sticking with the same equipment/methods that were used back then? Absolutely not. You are talking out of your ass. Back then, movies only took a few months to make. Even with the technology we have today (green screens, CGI, ect...,) movies can take a year+. And it's of pure (willful) ignorance that you say they had "real actors, real movies." (continued)

@SK8terGuy19 I know nothing? Before I took a career change and went with the railroad, I worked for BBC America channel in film editing and production. Rethink your replies next time you speak with someone who has worked in this area. The only ingnorance that is shown, is that of your reply.
CSXtrackworker 6 months ago
@CSXtrackworker Awesome! You worked for BBC, congratulations. If you don't mind me asking, what movies did you take part in creating? Also, you never addressed any previous statements of mine. What is your reasoning behind preferring older movies to newer ones? It can't be because they had "more talent", as I've already explained is not true. Is it just for the fact that they're older? If that's the case, then there is absolutely no basis for that type of thinking and that makes you a hipster.
SK8terGuy19 6 months ago
@CSXtrackworker (continued) Yes, of course they had "real" actors and movies, but it was still a relatively new technology. And because of that, let's face it, most of them actually sucked. Now, this is all subjective, but think about it. Don't get me wrong, they were the pioneers. Over the years we've learned a lot. It's all about the "suspension of disbelief." Most old movies had a hard time doing that. You can tell from most movies today that they have gotten pretty good at it since then.
