Turn over the serf to sing

The style of the film is still not as good as American. It is similar to the current level of animation in China. The plot of the film, as well as the pacing, feels a little bit off. Is it because of too much American culture input? With that in mind, I watched the whole movie. The last part where the two girls dance awkwardly is the best, and I finally found the taste of a commercial blockbuster.

Now let me talk about the issues of social equity and justice that I have been thinking about most. The heroine stole someone else's admission notice and went to school under her name. Such a story has already happened in real society in China. There is a unanimous condemnation of imposters for encroaching on the learning opportunities of others. I thought that the three views of the French and Canadians were different. Later, it was quite mainstream. It was wrong to steal other people's opportunities, but the heroine's performance was really good, and she brushed it to the end with her strength. The teacher also gave the girl who had stolen the name a chance to participate. The strength of the girl whose name was stolen is not bad. The difference between the two is that one really loves them, and the other is forced by their mother to study. In fact, there is absolutely no need for the film to vilify the rich girl's mother to enhance the status of the lame girl and the heroine in the hearts of the audience. If the rich girl also really loves it, the heroine may not be able to get the opportunity. The heroine can be recognized, but it must be said that the setting of this film does not block the opportunity for promotion of the lower classes. This film even whitewashes the dark history of the heroine getting a chance to a certain extent, which is an unimaginable three-pointed view of pursuing fairness and justice. However, it can be seen that if the original class behavior model is maintained, the bottom layer has no chance to turn over at all. If the law is a tool for the ruling class to protect its rights and interests, then a certain degree of illegality can be said to be the only way for serfs to turn over. In the end, it seems that the story is that, go after what you want! Even if you have to lie and deceive the world.

    Although the plot and structure are not very good, it should be one of the few ballet-themed animations, and I still need to give one more star for the topic selection. I especially like the slightly exaggerated ballet movements in the film, especially when the little girl is still dancing wildly on the roof of an orphanage in the French countryside. It is also a pity that the English name of the original film is Leap, which means jumping high and far.

    A part of life, whether Paris or ballet.

Leap! quotes

  • Victor: [watching Felicie dance around the Irish bar] Wow!

    [Love-struck, he tosses her a rose. Felicie reaches up to catch it, but loses her balance and falls onto a table. Merante, who was seated nearby, stands up and removes his hat. Felicie gasps in fear]

    Mérante: [sternly] I hope that tomorrow you act with a little more dignity.

    [starts to walk out]

    Mérante: Anyway, tonight was...

    [puts his hat back on and smiles]

    Mérante: A GOOD performance.

    Felicie: [flattered] Thank you, sir.

  • Felicie: [after Camille once again steals her music box] Leave it. Give it back.

    Camille: [laughs mischievously] Silly me. I didn't throw it hard enough THE FIRST TIME!

    [She prepares to throw it across the room, but Felicie grabs her wrist and takes her music box back]

    Felicie: Don't make the same mistake.

    [puts the music box back in her pocket and starts to walk away]

    Camille: Why are you leaving? Scared of being humiliated?

    Felicie: [stops and faces her] Looks like you need more training.

    [uses her broom to stretch her body]

    Felicie: You're nowhere near ready.

    [drops her broom as she and Camille circle each other on tiptoes]

    Camille: I'M going to show you what a real dancer looks like.

    Felicie: Are you sure about that?

    Camille: Quiet! Tonight, these seats will be full! Paris will be looking at ME! Adoring ME!

    Felicie: [smirks] Or not.

    Camille: [furiously] I already told you! You are nothing! You will always be nothing!

    Felicie: [spins up to her] Only one way to find out. Right here. Right now.

    [She and Camille engage in a dance-off. Nora walks in and notices]

    Nora: [pleasantly surprised] Oh my god.

    [rushes out of the room and shouts to the others in the building]

    Nora: DANCE-OFF!
