The process is tortuous—just about watching movies: resources are searched on the Internet, starting from the click, it is smooth at first, but this process only lasts in general, the picture is in a buffer, and the coherent shot stops there , That half of the words were still in my mouth, so I changed the resources, and I didn’t want the result to be the same; the film notes were written on the back of the A4 paper, but it was halfway through, but the pen could not be written, and the black ink left incomplete notes. , Repetitive scribbling is a little bit... the sense of stagnation of online viewing, the sense of fragmentation of taking notes as the movie progresses, and a same-sex movie under deduction, it seems that in the sense of sense, the twists and turns are full of anxiety , It seems a strong desire: Can the movie end soon?
This kind of strong desire is not because the film is not good enough, nor is it a natural rejection of the LGBT group. It is an objective place that limits the overall grasp of the film, but returns to the film itself? When Melab finished the audition dance, took off the red gown with his injured foot, and finally opened the door, was he also looking forward to the final end? The door opened, and he didn’t even turn his head to look at the teacher Alico sitting there and the judges who decided the final candidate. He seemed to have no hesitation. The dance was over, the clothes were taken off, and the door was closed. There was no nostalgia, even Levan. Ah Jin's lens was also hurriedly closed-as the title suggests: Then we danced, and everything is the final end.
In this way, the final dance is the farewell ceremony. What is the result of the audition and whether he can be the only candidate selected is actually not important. The meaning of dancing has surpassed the result, and Merab’s completion of this ceremony also means his Life will move towards a new beginning. Just like in Iraq where he is not present, he may leave here completely. Like his married brother David, he may stop being a dancer. David’s wedding seemed to be a sign of the end of everything: it finally appeared in Iraq, which had been missing for a few days, and once kept sending messages, eager to see Merab in Iraq again lying on the bed, when he saw that Iraq was gone. When he came in, he leaned on him and seemed to find the feeling of snuggling. Under the dim light, it was a hidden emotion. Melab hoped to regain the feeling between the two people, but this is not just a dream, wake up Here, there is only himself on the bed, and there is no one else beside him; and at the wedding, he really saw Iraq, and he returned the earrings he found to Iraq, when he reached out and wanted to touch the hand in Iraq. At that time, the Iraqi avoided, "Others will see it." The Iraqi is not only afraid of other people's arguments, but more importantly, he already wants to end the relationship: he said he was going back to Batumi, and his father died. , There is only his mother who is dependent on each other, and the mother has found a wife for him, and they are engaged. Melab said "Congratulations" and Iraqi left him.
The lover chose to leave, and the lover has a wife. For Melab, everything is the beginning of the end. He heard the sound of the beat outside, and walked out alone, through the lively crowd, through the dancing The bride, walking from the stairs to the courtyard outside, stood, and Mary who was dancing together came up and hugged him, as if comforting him. Melabu, who came home, removed all the posters about dancing in her room. , A wall is blank and nothingness, just like his feelings with Iraq. David’s wedding seemed to show Melab all the possibilities of the so-called marriage, because Thorpe was pregnant, because he became pregnant after unmarried, so in order to preserve the reputation of the wife, the David family must have the wedding within two days. Wei was lying next to Melab, with scars on his face, "Luca said you are gay, and I must defend your rights." My brother said to him, then looked at Melab and asked. One sentence: "Am I being beaten for nothing?" Melab said, "Maybe." David finally expressed his emotions on this happy day: "From now on, I will be a fat Georgian man and a father-in-law. Work." Then he said affectionately to Melab: "Leave Georgia, otherwise you have no future here."
David chose to get married. David defended his brother’s rights with everyone else, but in the end he bemoaned to let him leave completely, and Mary, the dance partner Melab has been dancing with since he was 10 years old, may also like May. Rab, but when she knew that Melab loved Iraq, she knew that her love for him was like a "milkshake" she often drank, but a sign of self-deception, but she still embraced and lost in the end Merab in Iraq then said: "I'm fed up with this place." The pack of "London cigarettes" in her hand is actually a self-deceiving thing. It's just a shell with the inside. It was Georgian cigarettes, "like a placebo." Now everything is over, so there are no secrets, no feelings of self-deception, and even no dancing.
In Iraq, he chose to marry because of his mother. David was forced to marry because of Thorpe’s reputation. Mary exposed the self-deception of "London cigarettes" and milkshakes. They all came to an end, and this end seems to be dancers. A kind of abandonment: Iraq is a dancer, and even the most powerful competitor of the national song and dance troupe; David used to be a dancer, but was driven out of the dance troupe by Aliko because of drug trafficking; Mary is also a dancer , But in the anger of "I'm fed up with this place", she might also choose to leave, and what about the remaining Merab? He bid farewell to all this with the last dance, not an audition, not perfect, not ideal, but just for the dance itself, for the kind of life condensed with love and freedom: he is dancing, with his injured feet, and with pain. Mood, jumping, falling, and even deformed steps, and when the song ended, he did not stop, but continued to circle with his feet to get up, his toes propped up his body, his calf muscles were tightened, as if the world no longer had a teacher, There will be no others, just show oneself in the world of a kind of dance.
"Then we danced", not "me" of Merab alone, but "us": he was wearing that red gown, which was a dress once given to him in Iraq, it was he who wanted It was worn at the wedding, and when he wore it on Melab, it seemed as if he did not leave in Iraq, but in another way to make two people become one. This is "we"; when Melab Finally got up and danced. On the one hand, it showed the power of men. As Aliko said, “Not everyone dances in poetry. Georgian dance needs masculinity, not weakness.” But in addition to male masculinity, Mela The hair, hands, and waistline of the cloth are so soft. When a dance is mixed with masculine and feminine, it seems to have the shadow of Mary, and when I become a dancer, I combine different styles and become perfect. Combination, this is also "us"-when Melab is dancing, in fact, Iraq is also dancing, Mary is also dancing, all those who are about to leave have found their own shadows in this perfect world, and the shadow world Everything explained is to say goodbye, say goodbye to this place that can no longer stand, say goodbye to this place without a future, say goodbye to this world of forced marriage, and then the door is opened, go out, and in the story of not looking back, everything is going The end.
The final ritual is the final perfection and the final explosion. In this process of searching for and losing love, everything is secret and everything is suppressed. The dance troupe, for Melab, seems to be a closed world. Since the age of 10, she has partnered with Mary and trained here every day, seeming to be on the highest stage one day. The so-called ideal actually obscures a lot of things: why would father leave as a dancer resolutely? After the divorce from his mother, Melab once went to find him with Mary. His father firmly opposed Melab’s dancing. What he said seemed to be a kind of attack: "Only dogs are suitable for dancing." But more It was a certain kind of unsuitable anger; why was the dancer named Zaza imprisoned in the monastery? During the training, everyone had been discussing him. It is said that he was considered a pervert because he was a homosexual. He was sent to the monastery, rather than "custodial", but in the end he escaped. Joining the circus was not a gain for him. Recognition, but the beginning of another escape; why does Melab go home, and the family always sighs, "What is our life?" Why are they talking about the "Shevardnadze era"? And why when Melab and Iraqi celebrated and got an audition opportunity together, they would pass through the American cemetery after the carnival?
In fact, everything implies a certain era background, and also provides an explanation for their repressive lives. What have people in this country experienced? What kind of normative order has been established? Everything seems to be hidden in this vague key word, and when the dance teacher yells to them "Georgian dance does not need to express perfection", it is actually a variant aesthetic view in political life. Tradition seems to have been transformed. And the transformation is full of top-down violent repression, so gay Zaza will be treated as an anomaly in the monastery, so father said "dogs are suitable for dancing", so David will marry for the reputation of girls, so Mary would pack inferior Georgian cigarettes in the outer shell of "London cigarettes". And the feelings between Melab and Iraq, brewing in such an oppressive world, are finally only in the dark night, in the unmanned room, in the morning training room, conveying secret love, this kind of secret, Or it is their greatest courage to challenge order, challenge authority, and challenge reality.
When he first appeared in Iraq, he was even seen as an unfriendly "intruder" in Melab's eyes. He had been with Mary for many years. Melab seemed to be the best candidate, but Aliko was dissatisfied with Melab. You should be like a nail." The implication is that he lacks masculinity and masculinity. At this time, the door opened, Iraq came in, and then began to take his place and dance. At that time, there was a trace in Melab’s eyes. Jealousy. But behind this jealousy is also a kind of compensation. For Melab, it seems to have opened up another world, so they are together because of David. That time Melab secretly picked up the clothes in Iraq and put it on his nose. After smelling it before, in a room with only one person, Melab found her emotional release point in a secret way. At Mary’s party, Melab left the room smoking a cigarette, but saw in the dark that it was also in Iraq outside. There seemed to be no words. He sat next to Iraq, and then approached. After the fight between the man and the man, they leaned, kissed, and lay down like a couple; then they found the opportunity again, naked, and snuggled together after the dance...
In a world where there is no other person, they are cuddling with each other like a couple, and the world seems to be opening up to the way they want, but all of this is secretive and fragile, and it is not even formed. Iraq left him. "Missing", Melab kept sending him text messages asking where he was, a kind of longing began to permeate, and behind this longing was the possible betrayal or departure. For Melab, he was very strong about this emotion, and even began to show it. When Mary found out that he missed the wholeheartedly in Iraq, she refused the "milkshake" and said, "You can eat it yourself." Finally left in anger, Melab said: "Thank you for helping me." In his eyes, he was satisfied with love; when Iraq disappeared and Melab was in loneliness, he rode in the car alone, wandering alone. On the street, but when he saw a boy smiling at him on the bus, he seemed to respond eloquently, and the two seemed to have become friends—he might project this secret love onto others, Smile is the only language, and it is also a proof of comfort, but the boy is not in Iraq. Melab was disappointed. He could only find that feeling by dancing. He kept dancing, not caring whether he was in accordance with the teacher’s request. He did not observe the taboo of not being able to drink water. Even after Alico said "stop", he kept jumping. It seemed that he was going to challenge the so-called rules, but the sprained foot undoubtedly proved that all challenges will bring. Comes physical harm.
There is also the pain of the soul. After the illusion, Iraq has become a real existence. The dancers who are free to pursue perfection will finally bid farewell to the stage. That kind of love has also come to an end under helplessness and rules, but the dance of perfection The courage to pursue love is not a placebo like "London Cigarettes". It is a real self-expression, masculine and feminine, body and soul, he and him, become one, become "us", so "then We danced", no matter the injured foot, no matter the traditional shackles, no matter the person who disappeared-and no matter how the tortuous process becomes a kind of echo inside and outside the movie, as long as we dance and finally close the door, everything is over, the world Only behind.
