Alexys 2022-04-21 09:02:17

The dynamic and passionate dance, the intricate contradictions between teachers and students, families and individuals in street dance halls and ballet schools, constitute the background of this film. Through a series of efforts, the young people finally changed the cruel reality and successfully promoted the great idea of ​​freedom and striving. Andy, who lost his mother, could not feel support at Sarah's house (mother's friend), and gradually merged with this seemingly free but proud group. For a series of reasons, Andy entered the Maryland Art School, but was abandoned due to insufficient tutoring and could not keep up with the progress of "401", and then unconsciously formed his own band. But life is always full of drama, and Andy gets kicked out of school because of a "401" prank. Just when everything was back to square one, she got Sarah's support and she won the street dance scene with a good dance.
As a Hollywood youth inspirational film, Hollywood's pipeline creation makes its advantages and disadvantages very prominent. However, it is different from the large-scale commercial films. The free and unrestrained creations show a group of dream-seeking teenagers on the silver screen. The overall theme is very well grasped. It starts with Andy's mother "no matter when and where you never give up, as long as you work hard to accomplish what you want to do, that's enough." "self" as the end, coupled with the plot setting of constantly encountering setbacks but not giving up in the middle, makes the film really inspirational.
Fatal Wounds - Poor performances and plots
Let's assume that Hollywood's assembly line system prevents a great screenwriter from playing his superb level. The film has many incomprehensible surprises in the setting of the plot. First of all, Sarah's long objection to Andy's hip-hop, and the fact that she told Andy "I believe in you too" in just a few seconds after she made it clear to Taylor about her decision to send Andy to Texas makes anyone Unacceptable incidents like this. Secondly, Sophia turned to dance with Mousse because she was jealous of Andy and Chase dancing happily, but she kissed Mousse inexplicably at the end. I can only explain this in one sentence: women are fickle.
Next, I have to comment a little on the speechless actors in this play. Andy was unable to catch up with the "401" training after Collins' after-school tutoring order, so he was forced to leave the group, and then was dismissed by the school, and Sarah's disappointment was even worse, and Andy's performance and group The disappointment of the supporting cast members is even worse in comparison. In the face of the most disappointing moment in his life, Andy's performance seems to be very calm, probably really the legendary female man. But it is undeniable that these leading actors have made the supporting actors a little red in the green, such as the image of the natural humorous mousse is quite popular.
Almost - there are some bright spots in the use of lenses.
Maybe the focus of the film is not the shooting of the lens. The shooting and editing of the shots in the film are very ordinary, and there are many inappropriate use of lighting. The conversion of real and virtual shots is basically non-existent, making the originally inferior actors less prominent. However, a few bright spots have illuminated this bleak drama. When Andy first entered the Maryland Institute of Art, Andy's medium shot and the subjective shot of what she saw of her surroundings made that out of place fully expressed. It paved the way for Chase's suggestion and the two of them to find classmates who also did not feel passion and presence in the school to form a band together. Speaking of which, I have to say that when Collins asked Andy for tutoring, through the rigid basic training of the two and the subjective lens of Chase practicing hip-hop in the practice room that Collins saw in the eyes of Collins, the two directly switched. Contradictions and a pair of relationships are highlighted, which also seems to imply that Chase will break through layers of obstacles and pursue his dreams. Of course, the biggest highlight is the episode of Chase looking for a partner. The scene description of the odd people in the campus, coupled with the scene switching of tap dancing, coupled with the dynamic music, perfectly completes the free and unrestrained theme of the film. displayed to the audience.
Spotlight - Refinement and Appropriate Music and Line Dance
As the theme of a musical, the director's ability to master music is really good, and this is the only thing left in the audience's memory. In many parts of the film, the director switched from music to picture through the sound and picture group, bringing a gorgeous visual feast to the audience. The distinctive choreography at the beginning made the film a bright spot, but of course, the follow-up was not good. This dance showed the audience a group of passionate young people who have dreams, love life, and advocate freedom. Then, in Andy's first class, the arrangement of Chase, the most dynamic of the three songs, and the comedy dance brought by Andy showed the two people's personalities at a glance. The close-up that Andy appreciated so much echoed, and paved the way for him to burst into passion in the band. Finally, I have to describe the biggest highlight of the film and the finishing touch of the whole sentence. The most important thing is the ending that makes countless viewers wake up in a drowsy second! The superb dance skills of "401" have already shocked the audience, and Andy's unique outdoor choreography, the production of the rain scene is novel and unique. Opening with a flashlight, followed by the addition of headlights, of course, the director obviously added lighting as an auxiliary, and the wonderful line dance was really good.
If you are still chasing dreams and cruel reality, you might as well watch this inspirational film, it can really give you some courage; if you are a person who loves music and dance, then this film should give you inspiration and inspiration; If you are a person who loves film and television, then you should watch this drama even more. This is a work that can give you a sense of accomplishment, because there are many flaws waiting for you to discover!
