Although I am not a student of film and television, I am still impressed by the smooth & semi-nonsensical narrative of the film, especially the short section of the old video recording the steel city at the beginning of the film plus the short sentence "25 years later". It is really refined to buy a low-pitched foreshadowing pen for the film. In addition, a series of later story characters unfolded, the matching was remarkable, very easy, there are almost no useless sections in the whole film, that is, the section where everyone can dance striptease together at the end is too jumpy and the rhythm is too fast.
As a half-hearted student of advertising, I don't want to say too much about film and television. I will leave it to an expert to talk about my thoughts on the film from the perspective of this major. First of all, the style of this British film in 1997 is very old and a bit unappetizing, but considering that Hollywood had just experienced the "Boom 1994" revolution and only three years ago, it is understandable. The story is also an inspirational entrepreneurial model of "from scratch". The male lead and several male partners are retired workers of steel mills. Most of them are around forty years old. I feel deeply about this when my hometown is in the northeast. It's very contemptuous that he hasn't mixed up a man with a full-time official position in the age of no doubt.
The same goes for these men. They are unemployed, family discordant, look worthless, and are not young anymore... They have gradually become the easiest group in society to get old and overlooked. At this critical juncture, the male protagonist didn't know where his head was wrong, so he took a group of old men to form a striptease group. One is for the source of income, and the other is for re-recognition (in China, this is very similar to those elderly people in Kuaishou...)
However, after forming the group, the old men persuaded the old manager to teach dance, resolved the family discord, and coupled with physical training, gradually changed the decadent life and became energetic (men must exercise! Want to exercise! Want to exercise!!!) The most important thing is that this has become an unexpected hot spot in the old city where they live. Not only did they sell the hot tickets, but also aroused the excitement of the people in the town...
You know, before this, the women who only watched young men dance, who would associate the passionate striptease with a group of old men with fat and wrinkled figures. And through the point of "let the old things re-evoke new life and vitality", the film easily connects the old man and the striptease. This is like the most difficult thing in brainstorm commonly used by advertisers, is to combine advertising creativity with existing products. There was no direction before, but after watching this film, I understood the meaning of surprise in creativity: Connect unexpected things together, and then happen in unexpected times and places.
