Professional dancers are just different

Every time I watch a musical, I feel dizzy and don't know where to put my eyes.

This may be the reason why the plots of musicals are relatively simple.

This 1953 "Caravan" feels much better than "La La Land".

Several of the dances were very shocking, whether it was the opening tap dance at the amusement park Hunt, or the subsequent performances of their tour: Sunrise, The Louiseanna Hayride, Girl Hunt, the triplets, each with its own characteristics. And the song Dancing in...

Jean-Luc Nancy: Entrez dans la danse (Entrez dans la danse)

We are saddened to learn that Jean-Luc Nancy, a philosopher closely associated with cinema, has passed away. His other films are "Invader," the story of his heart transplant that inspired Claire Denis to make one of her best Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche played an important role as a printer in Les chants...

and i have committed to pain

as of those Arabian chords...

and everything seemed so beautiful to bear

as the watched-over-an-over dancing scene is

launching

after shinny parts of conversations and start

birds were murmuring in the dim distance

and everyday struck, every...

Musical films can't be just songs and dances

It can be described as Astaire's light-hearted joke about his swing dance career. The pity is that the story is loose, lacking a major conflict, and lacking a climax that pushes the focal character to a dead end. The hero and heroine's resolution of the differences in dance forms is so easy that it even overlooks its eventual dilemma. The piano skills that Oscar Levant showed in "An American in Paris" didn't stand a chance either. A talented production team, instinct is the guarantee that the...

[Film Review] The Band Wagon (1953) 7.9/10

Forget about AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (1951) or GIGI (1958), this is "the" genuine chef d'oeuvre of aMinnellimusical, THE BAND WAGON is a glittering meta-pomp jauntily fights its corner for the middlebrow fluff over the highbrow pretension, not to mention it is...

It tells the story of the comeback of an out-of-date musical actor. The film was released in the 1950s, and musical films began to decline. Astaire is in his fifties, and no matter how you look at it, you feel that this movie is tailor-made for Astaire. I have to say that Astaire deserves to be the "Dance King". He still maintains a slender figure in his fifties, his posture is relaxed and elegant, and his choreography is very creative. The singing and dancing scenes do not rely on crowd...

It's super beautiful, with both traditional and warm singing and dancing scenes, and an avant-garde finale (Girl Hunt Ballet is really exciting). The singing and dancing scenes are closely integrated with the promotion of the plot, and neither choreography nor filming can be chosen. It turns out that all the musicals I like are based on behind-the-scenes productions: Singing in the Rain, All that...
