    He has to do this alone.

    I haven't seen such an era background and subject matter before, and I think it's quite rare. The Soviet Union during the Cold War, defected ballet dancers. The colors of reality are as bright as candy, while memories are presented in cool black and white: a poor childhood, howling wind and snow,...

    David Hare screenwriter is a standard guarantee

    David Hare is one of the best contemporary British playwrights, and his drama works are all excellent works. Nureyev's story may not be so familiar to today's young people, but it is a household name in his generation. The movie ended with Nureyev defecting at the Paris airport. Hale said that this...

    It's not the brainless black Soviet Union you imagined, but it's very stupid. There is a passage where the male protagonist and the German brother who taught him English said that they repressed me. The German brother said that they oppress you. The man said, that's what I meant. The German guy said, yes, you should use the word oppress. I thought for a while what was the essential difference between these two words.

    The cast is still very conscientious, at least Maozi said that, and the director also said. I heard that the male protagonist is the chief of Tartar, and he looks a bit old (I was wondering why I didn't find a young actor, but I saw that the young man is 96 years old! Okay!) The technology is acceptable, but I feel that the role of Newry The legend of Yev is still almost passionate and graceful (after watching the solo variation of the male protagonist dancing in the second act of the dancer, I couldn't help but go to station B to brush the 12 male god versions hehehe...) In fact, the merits may be better. It's a little more suitable, and it doesn't look older than the male protagonist. In fact, there are not many ballet parts, and it's a bit of a waste of cast (of course, it's better than the black swan and the like, and Bai Ye can basically be regarded as a musical, Ben. The film didn’t rely on that genre either...) The part other than the cast is really not good, the non-linear narrative is meaningless, the childhood memories are only meaningful in the latter part, and the Paris and Leningrad parts are mixed up. The male protagonist's enthusiasm for art was foreshadowed, but it didn't come to an end... Only the male protagonist's special twist is throughout. . . The Palace Square in the real scene and the Mariinsky in the set are quite memorable.
