Some thoughts on Hong Lingyan and Black Swan
After watching "Hong Lingyan", I was surprised that a movie of this level could be made in 1948, and I couldn't help but think of "Black Swan".
It's not fair to divide these two films, although I do have a good point in my heart, I'll just share my thoughts here.
"Black Swan" uses ballet as the background theme, but mostly half-length ballet shots are used from beginning to end. It is understandable that non-professional dancers need to use this to hide their ugliness, but after...

[Film Review] The Red Shoes (1948) 7.9/10
“One of the most factitiously gorgeous movies of all time, but there is a catch.”
If there is a poll of the most factitiously gorgeous movies of all time, Powell-Pressburger's THE RED SHOES will no doubt be surmounted on the top tier, for its kaleidoscopic use of Technicolor, highlighting the minutiae of its personages' fine complexion under sublime warpaint ,...

"Ah, what beautiful red dancing shoes" one sentence made Garen jump from the bush of thorns to the executioner's knife. "Why do I dance, like why you live", let Peggy jump from the top stage to the shattered track. Intertextual with Andersen's most bizarre fairy tales, and against the most gorgeous and fantastic stage of ballet, "Hong Ling Yan" is a modern fable. Whoever wears red shoes and greedily dances at the feet of God will fall into the abyss. until the feet are cut off....

Two men with personality flaws, and a woman with a weak will. Lermontov has a strong desire for control, does not understand love and is extremely squeamish; Julian is selfish and regards art as a child's play; and the poor heroine, who loves both love and ballet career, is in two maddened. Under the coercion of the man's two phases, he finally ended his life. Art is great, and love is also great. If one of the two is willing to put down his posture a little and be considerate, there will be...

It's not a tragedy that someone could have caused
Some people say that her husband Julian is the creator of this tragedy, but love is inherently selfish, especially in a triangular story with such a "rival in love", the selfish nature of love is unavoidable.
The love between the two young people was so beautiful at the beginning. Maybe it was the blonde hair of Julian's actor that I liked it. In short, as a bystander, I couldn't bear to break up this pair of mandarin ducks. Not just me, all the witnesses are, except the boss...

1948, above translation. "Black Swan" pays homage to the original. In the middle of the nearly 20-minute drama, the choreography and special effects are extremely good. It is said that there is finally a musical that can keep me from falling asleep.

The lighthearted and cheerful parts in the front are beautiful, and the legendary song and dance drama with red shoes did not disappoint me. The tragedy in the back is not my favorite, there is no need to make the contradiction so...

For the sake of art and love, the old Chinese saying goes that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. In this film, love and art cannot be both. In the end, the heroine chooses to commit suicide, which is embarrassing. Cheng Dieyi's suicide at the end of Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" is probably influenced by this movie, because it is not in the original book - Film...

Slow down and you'll find interesting...
Julian Craster: Vicky?
Victoria Page: Julian, I love you!
Julian Craster: But you love that more.
Julian Craster: One day when I'm old, I want some lovely young girl to say to me, "Tell me, where in your long life, Mr. Craster, were you most happy?" And I shall say, 'Well, my dear, I never knew the exact place. It was somewhere on the Mediterranean. I was with Victoria Page." "What?" she will say. "Do you mean the famous dancer?" I will nod. "Yes, my dear, I do. Then she was quite young, comparatively unspoiled. We were, I remember, very much in love."
Boris Lermontov: [to Julian Craster] It is worth remembering, that it is much more disheartening to have to steal than to be stolen from, hmmm?
