Eiffel Tower vs Statue of Liberty

The film uses montage time-space splicing, and the timeline is based on the construction of the Eiffel Tower (although the casting time of "The Nutcracker" and the Statue of Liberty can't be timed, but it's okay). After the opening, I slowly felt the background of the era at that time, the hustle and bustle of the electrical age, the Eiffel Tower under construction, and Paris with a strong classical (neo-classical) atmosphere, which is the eye-catching place of this film. The story at the beginning reminds people of the yearning for Paris of young French from the provinces. As the story continues to unfold, I feel more and more familiar with this narrative routine, which has also become the focus of criticism of the film. (But having said that, this kind of inspirational plot is very suitable for children to watch~)

When watching ballet-related places, it is really easy to think of the "Dance Lesson" series of works by French painter Edgar Degas.
The ballet dance part is very professional, which is another highlight of the film.

Finally, died Zhang Xianzhi. The key point to say is also the biggest experience is that this animated film is France's foray into the Disney model, but there is no doubt that Jiang is still old and spicy, and the French who have abandoned his artistic and cultural and philosophical advantages are used to entertainment movies. In front of the Yankees can only resign.
Two recurring images in the film seem to confirm this.
The Eiffel Tower, under construction in preparation for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris, to demonstrate France's strength in the age of steel, eventually became an icon of France.
And the upcoming voyage of the Statue of Liberty undoubtedly represents the United States. As early as 1893, the World's Fair held in Chicago, the United States had fully demonstrated the splendid development of the United States in the electrical age, and one of the details was that the cowboy show that did not qualify for the exhibition attracted countless people to stop at the entrance of the exhibition hall. It is a harbinger of the future prosperity of entertainment performances. Among them, the medium of film is the expression of entertainment culture. The rise of entertainment culture has brought an impact on high culture, and the performance of "The Nutcracker" in the play is the expression of high culture.
Today, entertainment culture dominates the world. It's a shame that this film made in France, where high culture is the norm, is an attempt to emulate the Disney model.
