Hey, half-length ballet

In fact, after watching it for half an hour, I can't stand it anymore. In a movie with a casting rehearsal of Swan Lake as the core plot, there is no clear and continuous scene of an actress dancing all over the body within 30 minutes? Instead, the heel shots of a large number of non-dancing passages grabbed the limelight. But if you think about it carefully, the director has "ulterior motives" in doing this. On the one hand, the anxiety generated by the shooting is matched with the black theme of split personality; more importantly, just like the red lampshade of Podwell’s comment on the Ipcrees archives has a narrative function of hiding information, it is always above the waist. The unified" lens style also aims to distract the audience from the lack of necessary dance full-body shots in the film. But no matter whether such a hidden ugly trick succeeds, there is no denying the embarrassing fact: modern thriller movies with traditional art as the background are no longer able to show the magical charm of the art as the carrier of the story! So lethal magic can only sacrifice the twins' rottenness, and ballet can only lock the camera above the actress's waist. Recall the "Hong Lingyan" half a century ago. It also involves traditional art, and there is also no lack of horror and human darkness. Why can people achieve a perfect balance between the beauty of art and the narrative itself? And not just such films, but the decline of artistic imagination and originality in the entire film field should be addressed squarely. In fact, the cruel transformation of modern movies from the so-called innocent age of relaxed entertainment to the sinister reality of human nature is just a change of thinking and attitude, and there is no inevitable connection between itself and artistic imagination. The character split in DePalma's Dangerous Lamb is much more exaggerated than the Terror, but no one would ever say that the former is a classic. In the same way, if the dark knights who are regarded as gods must borrow comic books decades ago to be able to shoot, how can you be ashamed to praise the director for his artistic imagination! Don't have the ability to create the core role in your own work, dare to call it imaginative?
