ballet girl

I recently regained my ballet dream. At the age of twenty-six, facing my thick thighs, hunched back, and rigid body that I couldn't bear to look at, ah, this is such a ridiculous delusion. Anyway, every graceful gaze, tightened back, stretched limbs, makes me extremely happy, no matter what the truth is, there is an inch of joy. So is the body.

As a result, ballet-related things came in, seek it, find it; books, movies, characters on Weibo, and movies that were opened casually.

I want a movie to accompany a meal, a cold, a Sunday, a post-autumn day, a sultry, a morning that was rejected again, a happy movie.

architecture, city, paris

I like the setting of the movie, Paris at the end of the 19th century = the Eiffel Tower under construction, the Statue of Liberty prepared in secret, the "City of Light", the World's Fair, neat apartments, streets, squares, modern civic life. The background details of the animation are never ambiguous, with workers at the freight terminal, various characters in the dark tavern, the industry and commerce of the street, and the men and women flirting with the street lights. A magnificent opera house illuminated by candlelight. Even with the simplified buildings in the animation, I can feel the impact of this place, and the theater space corresponds to my ❤️ secret passage.

story,

Like other critics, ballet cannot be performed in ten days. Ballet requires long-term muscle training.

This story is too cliché. We know the end by looking at the beginning. Every dramatic conflict can be predicted, but this still does not affect this is a gratifying story. Brand new story. This cliché leads to happiness, but it is not the eternal topic of life.

Odette: A ballerina who was accidentally injured. Forbearance. "Even sweeping the floor is so graceful." This is what I'm after, life, a life given by the outside world is doomed to absurdity, this absurdity includes, who will you meet, who you will fall in love with, who you will lose, who will you When you encounter a major illness, you will encounter a car accident, and you will also encounter a turning point at a moment of desperation. In modern society, when individuals encounter these misfortunes, there will be insurance to guarantee finances, and social networks to ensure spiritual happiness, which will alleviate a little individual struggle. The difficulty of misfortune ~ The life of a wise person, when encountering these external absurdities, maintains an elegant posture. This posture comes from the power of personal thinking, and this power is human wisdom.

Choreographer: I like artists. Art can be said to be equal, and it can bring equality. Choreographers, in front of theater owners, restaurant proprietors, who represent political and economic power, have artistic dignity in front of them.

Go to a third-rate bar. I think artists have this hobby, observing people and experiencing different lives.

He knew how to appreciate the grace Odette showed when she was down.

I like the setting of the Russian prince and Victor: the prince falls in love with Cinderella~ As a talented dancer, he can also smell another genius, which is sympathy; he calls the heroine a muse; he takes the heroine to the roof of the theater , Going to the iron tower to see the stars is not a cliché; so the heroine said to him: classy. However, when I make this judgment, am I forgiving because of his status? In front of the powerful, I had to develop this habit of torturing myself. No, it's still very romantic if he's a poor boy. However, the prince could not understand the miserable life of the female protagonist; he was sure that they had the same noble soul, and neither could he; art could only stand on his own origin, which was his starting point.

Did the heroine realize it? She rejected the prince, but also felt that they were incompatible at other levels.

The candlelight dinner under the unfinished iron tower, a violinist who can only play country music, is also very romantic, and the romance comes from his heart.

The female protagonist goes to confess her mistakes with the male protagonist, sincerely, thoroughly, and reflects on her unkindness. The male protagonist hides under the table and gives her the repaired music box = This is very sincere, simple, and touching. I have to learn to fall in love like this, and make up those nonsense. All the disciplines are put aside, with sincerity and dignity.

Dean Momo: "Dreams are impossible to achieve". This is another attitude towards life, and she cannot deny her lifelong struggle.

Odette's requirements for dance: "From hair to toes, through passion, your anger, sadness is all this passion"

Hostess: "Dance is a part of me"

This is also the explanation given by another classic movie "Dancing Out of My Life".
