There is a kind of beauty that does not belong to people

I have seen Swan Lake at least four times, and each time I see it, it feels different.

The first time I saw it was like it was in junior high school. In politics, the teacher said that the people are rich and they should engage in spiritual life, such as listening to symphonies and seeing Swan Lake.
At that time, I felt that watching Swan Lake was one of the leadership's tricks of putting on a show of culture. With such a mood, I watched it on TV again, and mentally felt that I was a knowledgeable person.

The second time I saw it was when I was in college. At that time, I dreamed of becoming a half-toned rock and roll, and I was full of enthusiasm to participate in the debate about who is the greatest musician.
So I got a DVD of the Queen of England's special edition, just as a literary and youth homework. The black and white swans were two people.
I found myself quite fond of this black swan.
You said that the white swans who watched a scene all looked like the student cadres with good looks.
How sexy and metallic the black swan is.
Seeing the tearful excitement of the audience on the monitor, I suddenly felt a kind of schadenfreude happiness.
I am proud of my alternative.

The third time I watched it was the scene of the Moscow regiment in the UK.
At that time, I had been drifting in the UK for more than a year, and my
mind was full of troubles. After dealing with the paper, I went to see Swan Lake.
The biggest feeling this time is trance. When I was squeezed in a corner of the field, I no longer remember where I was and what time was it now.
When I was in front of the monitor, I could feel that I was watching a real person dancing.
But when I watch real people dance, I feel that the actors and the theater are like gas, I just float in it.
I swung left and right in vain, feeling that I could see the effect on the monitor from different angles, so I concluded that what I saw was not real.
However, I still have to admit in the end that this is indeed a real person, a real performance. What is in
front of me is not a pixel, but a real person who can breathe, even though it makes people feel that the world is not real.
For several days, I felt like a slideshow in my head, feeling that I was just a concept, like a cloud of gas.
As for the troubles of the world, I have long forgotten them all.
In this scene, the black and white swan was performed by one person.
When I watched it, I didn't notice it, but I couldn't find the black swan when the curtain was called. The white swan thanked it twice.

The fourth time I saw Swan Lake was on an airplane.
There was a major incident at home, and I was tortured by all walks of life when I returned home.
On the plane back to England, I was so annoyed that I wanted to yell at people, smashed the glass and jumped off the plane.
All the sounds at that time sounded harsh to me.
All the entertainment programs on the plane didn't work for me.
Only the section of Swan Lake can calm me down, because I don't know why I feel that I can hear the smell of loneliness and suffering.
In the past, I always felt that the story of Swan Lake was just an old-fashioned fairy tale.
But this time, I think it's actually Lao Chai's own story.
The real white swan is actually Lao Chai, and the prince is actually an audience like you and me.
The tragedy is actually because of the prince.

In fact, when I read the story of the black swan, I think this story is actually helping us understand Swan Lake.
The story begins to say that the heroine can play the white swan well, but not the black swan.
In fact, to be honest, I don't think the heroine actually understands the white swan much.
The white swan in the eyes of the hostess is just graceful, without error.
For the heroine, acting a swan is just a little red flower in happiness.
Although she worked hard, she didn't understand the bad luck and misery of the white swan.
The heroine is the white swan in the castle, and the white swan in the Swan Lake was controlled by the devil from the beginning.
Sometimes I always feel that the heroine at the beginning is more of a swan than a prince.
It is not so much the incarnation of the swan, as the prince who first met the princess.
The prince was seduced by the black, and the heroine understood the magic of the black swan little by little, and the black swan played better and better.
Only when you understand the magic of the black swan can you understand the helplessness and pain of the white swan.
The last thing the hostess said is perfect. I don’t think it’s a good black and white swan, but it has become a perfect white swan, a white swan struggling desperately.

The prince was fascinated by the black swan and lost the white swan.
In order to play the black swan well, the heroine killed herself of the white swan.
The heroine is not only the swan in the story, but also the prince in the story.

I always think that the reason why Swan Lake is classic is not because of how beautiful the white swan is, but because it portrays the white swan as unavailable to the prince.
There is a kind of beauty that does not belong to humans, because of human ignorance in wisdom and weakness in human character.
Even if people struggle desperately, that kind of beauty can only remain in the world for a moment.
