The encounter between Taylor and Nora in the film represents how two different cultures and worlds adapt to each other and change each other. They learned a lot from each other that they never knew: Taylor belongs to the kind of people who have dreams but don't take the initiative to pursue them. People, because there are too many lessons, he deeply understands that whenever he ignites hope, he will always be poured with a basin of cold water; but Nora is the complete opposite, she is the kind who knows what she wants, People who make every effort and means to get them are the kind of strong people who fight for their dreams. After they were connected, they first touched each other low, and then constantly changed themselves to adapt to each other. In the end, they all found a completely different self from before.
"Step up" is an inspirational-themed song and dance film. From the film’s display of three families and the plot setting of the marginalized teenagers to reform evil, and the plot of Skenny’s death, it is not difficult to see that the film strives to reflect something. The social problems in the United States are more in-depth.
"Step up" embodies the vertical development of American street dance. As a musical, it is very successful. The film crosses the classic ballet with the popular hip-hop, which creates a strong visual impact and blends these two dances perfectly. The dance scenes in the film are delicate and exquisite, very beautiful, and the soundtrack is appropriate, showing the essence of North American dance.
American teenagers are keen on campus musicals. Most of these stories are often full of contempt for authority, independent exploration, madness and even full of destructive passion, and the final ending can return to a spiritual level. These imprints are in " There are a lot of one in "Step up". The story of the film is very simple. A girl who is studying ballet is going to graduate, but her dance partner is missing due to injury. By coincidence, a boy from the bottom of society who loves hip-hop recommends himself, with a good dance. Skill won the trust of the girl, and finally helped the girl win the game, and also changed her life by proving herself. The integration of ballet into hip-hop is a contradiction in itself. Putting aside the visual impact that the two will have, it is fun to simply say that elegant art encounters street culture and see how Americans justify themselves.
