Inspirational movies that can't hold up

A film with fragile logic, Felicity went out to see the world, and all she met were kind people. Friends helped her escape from the cleaners, took her in, and taught her to dance. She went to the Grand Theater to learn ballet under someone else's name. Not only did she not bear the consequences Instead, she was made an exception and was given a fair chance to compete. So we saw an orphan who had no foundation and started to learn ballet from scratch. Although she was guided by a famous teacher, she had all the problems of a child. I should think that Felicity is still far from being a dancer. However, in the movie, she has made rapid progress in just a few days and even surpassed the rich lady who has been training dance for many years. In the end, the bad guy was defeated and Felicity succeeded in becoming Paris in one fell swoop. The opera's brightest starlet The flimsy logic of the film makes the inspirational plot untenable at all. Felicity's image is not like a positive character who finally succeeded through her unremitting efforts, but more like an improper means. The speculators who use some good luck that ordinary people don't have to achieve success is indeed understandable as a movie made for children, how detached from life and how idealistic the story is, but Felicity stole letters and pretended to be complacent. This stalk really makes people accept the dubbing of the Mandarin version that can't be watched separately...[/cp]
