I haven't seen such an era background and subject matter before, and I think it's quite rare. The Soviet Union during the Cold War, defected ballet dancers. The colors of reality are as bright as candy, while memories are presented in cool black and white: a poor childhood, howling wind and snow, and the mother's beautiful eyes are unforgettable. A lot of facial close-ups, the subtle shift of the focus of the picture is very delicate, from the right eye to the left eye, from the face to the eyes and eyelashes.
Russia's vast snowfields, the unique nature, and the unique bitterness nourished Rudolph, but in order to continue dancing and go to the wider world, he had to abandon his land and leave his mother and family forever. Russia, which only appears in pictures of memories, does not require any specific textual footnotes. In the eyes of fathers and mothers, it has already shown its weight and vastness, and its pain is the cradle of great art.
Alone in the office, 45 minutes to make a decision, intertwined with childhood memories of beginner dance, mother’s eyes, leaving back, the phrase "Madam, I have to ask you to go out. He has to learn to take care of himself", yes The climax of the whole movie. No one could guess what Rudolph would choose, but it was still too cruel and too painful. Perhaps Rudolph, as Clara said, “is the most selfish person in the world I have ever seen”, but he is not a person who should be judged by common sense, but more like a kind of “incarnation”, so that everything is about life and beauty. People who yearn for him all want to help him fly to a higher place. This is the case with the teacher Pushkin, and the same is true for Clara. The pursuit of beauty and art transcends national boundaries, even morality and people.
The digression is that I really like Louis Hofmann...I wanted to watch this movie because of him. Although his role is really small, he is so beautiful and cute. ! How cute he smiles! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
