Who you learn for ultimately determines how far you can go

People who drive know where they are going before they start, but in real life, we would be very surprised how many people lack this kind of thinking about their own life - where are you going? This movie is the answer.
The movie can be summed up in one sentence: think about your own direction!

01. Living on this VS thought that the parents
had a little detail in the second half of school. The dance director asked the two little girls, why do you want to dance? This question has come up several times before, and different people have asked the protagonist Felicity, and the answer is all the same - like it!
And here, it was Camille, another character in the first question, and the answer was: "My mother forced me to learn!"
Uh... In an
instant, I saw many children around me, each There are good plants and various meetings, but none of them is what I like-the child has become a tool for parents to realize their ideals, and their opinions are not respected.
Every movement of Camille in the play is correct, standard, strong and flexible, and practiced hard, but unfortunately, it is not because of her inner liking, but to realize her mother's wish - this will not go far.

02. The little friend who grew up together VS the Russian dance prince
son I watched the Chinese version, and the Russian dance prince spoke non-standard Mandarin when he appeared.
I said to my son, "This dude's mouth is sloppy?" The
son replied, "He is not from this country."
Sure enough, it was later made clear that this man was the Russian dance prince.
Victor, his friend who had been with Felicity since childhood, had a crush on Felicity, and then started to pinch him.
This part is very cleverly written, and more or less reflects the competition in the adult world - are you the one who has the power and the powerful to let yourself fight for 20 years less, or the one who has grown from poverty to adulthood with you? Everyone's answer is different.

03. There are no bad guys in the play
. Even the big villain, Camille's mother, just wants to get more opportunities for her daughter. The part where she chases Felicity with a big hammer is the most violent scene in the show.
The janitor of the monastery, the janitor of the theater, just had a ferocious face and did nothing out of the ordinary. The former also took the initiative to send the protagonist back to Paris.
The toughest thing for a company to deal with is the doorman, you know.

04. There are still logical loopholes.
Although there are no bad guys, the script is not completely without problems. When I saw the protagonist go to dance school with someone else's name, I felt that something was wrong.
It is estimated that this is also the reason why there is such a dance director. The director saw the growth of the protagonist and was willing to give Felicity a chance after the incident.
In fact, the dance director is a very protagonist, not only giving a chance.
Including his romance with his theater-cleaning aunt (a former dancer who retired due to injury), as well as the latter's experiences are dark threads in the film.

    Odette: Yes, ma'am.

    Regine: I want you to air and press the linen.

    [whispers]

    Regine: NOW.

    [Odette leaves. Regine looks down at Felicie coldly. A visibly frightened Felicie resumes cleaning the stairs]

    Regine: It's not clean.

    [purposely pushes the bucket of scrubbing water with her foot; the water spills down the steps, much to Felicie's shock]

    Regine: Oops! Oh, look what you did.

    [smiles wickedly and leaves]

  • Felicie: [on her first day of dance class, shyly greeting the other girls] Hi. Hello.

    [to herself; when none of the girls respond]

    [louder]

    Felicie: I'm Felicie.

    Nora: [confused] Felicie?

    Felicie: [realizes her mistake] Uh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. I'm... friendly, ever so friendly. And my name is Camille.
