      "Leading the Wind"

      Even with different languages, different classes, and different beliefs in this world, there are still four things in common: music, food, art, and dance.

              They did not simply change the form of dance, but dance changed their lives.

              They become tolerant, friendly, friendly, polite, and trusting in themselves.

              Tango, foxtrot, and waltz can be beautiful to this level. The perfect fusion of ballroom dancing and hip-hop, the most beautiful dance...

      Brilliant material, but tastes like shit

      It is rare to see unsightly musicals. After all, wonderful music and dance can make up for most of the deficiencies of the film; similarly, inspirational films for youth growth are also powerful tools that can be adjusted by everyone. Everyone knows that this kind of film is a form of service for the purpose. Yes, the plot doesn't have to be new and strange, as long as handsome guys and beauties show up, everything will be done.

      However, this movie that gathers these two major selling...

      The personality and generosity we should appreciate

      Every movie tells its own story. Since the director knows what he is shooting, we as audiences do not need to comment too much on his methods in movie reviews. We are story-readers, and we just need to understand the ideas conveyed by the film with our hearts.

      Mr. Durrani is a good gentleman, traditional but not old-fashioned. Looking at this role makes me as a man yearn to live so elegantly, sincerely and courageously. Perhaps this is the passion in life.

      Another layer of...

      Life is ennobled in dance

      Last night, I watched "Leading the Trend" starring Angelo Banderas, also known as "Teacher-Student Dance". This is a film based on a true story, about a dance teacher named Pierre Duran, after witnessing a middle school boy frantically smashing his school principal's car, determined to use elegant and noble indoor dance Help these children who are regarded as hopeless by the principals and teachers. His point of view is: Indoor dance is a dance of mutual trust and mutual guidance. When girls...

      Another one-person movie, or go to the cinema alone to watch it on your birthday. At this time, I will feel that I am very handsome, very MAN, very able to be a real man!

      Recently, I have been obsessed with dance, various dances, hip hop, samba, rumba, jive, salsa, foxtrot, waltz... So I was interested and chose this dance film starring Antonio Banderas.

      Performed by Antonio Banderas, this elegant, charismatic, gentlemanly ballroom dance master is most suitable. This latin...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Antonio Banderas initially turned down the film because he found it was all about ballroom dancing. Banderas finally agreed to the contract after hearing the producers explain the story, watching a documentary about it, and meeting dancer Pierre Durain.
    The prototype of the story, Pierre Durain himself, made a cameo appearance as a judge of the dance competition in the film.
    The film was inspired by a report by producer Diane Nabatov...

    Evaluation action

    "Take The Lead" is a sports and inspirational movie, but its box office performance was unsatisfactory after its release. Originally passionate tango dance steps, close-fitting handsome men and beauties, and sweaty tight dresses, all are the must-have sections of popcorn movies, but unfortunately the film's release schedule coincides with "Ice Age 2" and "The Bench Players". The funny works of all ages overlap, so that this dynamic...
