CUPID IN-UNIVERSE MOVIE IN “SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN”

In “Singin’ in the Rain” there’s an in-universe movie in which tropes are exaggerated to portray the fact that it is fiction in opposition to the relative reality of the movie. Said movie ends with a kiss between the main characters and a fountain with Cupid on screen with the end title.





ROMANTIC TROPE?

Given the circumstances in which this has happened in “Singin’ in the Rain”, this was probably a used romantic trope at the time.
