There are a total of eight songs and dances in the movie, and several of them impressed me. One is that Marigan successfully sold his paintings, and he was appreciated and given special treatment. When he came back in the car, he was in a particularly good mood. He danced for the children, taught them to speak English, sang English songs, and performed American tap dancing and spacewalking. Enjoy their performance. An American in Paris, no matter how bad it was before, no matter how difficult life was, he still maintained his love and passion for life, still hoped to make life better, and still lived a picturesque life. Get along well.
One is Marigan and his beloved on the bank of the river, dancing in the moonlight. Very comfortable and romantic.
One is that after Marigan and Lisa came back from a date, Adam was playing the piano, and Marigan was in a good mood and started dancing to the music. Dancing and singing are his ways of expressing his emotions. He uses dance to convey his happiness and joy. He dances wildly, expresses his best, jumps on the table and continues to dance. This dance is regarded as a classic.
One is that he watched his beloved and her fiancé leave, and he would never see him again. He was imagining that he would present all his mental journeys from knowing her to the present in the form of singing and dancing. This 17-minute song and dance It's really wonderful, and he deserves to be the king of American dance. Whether it's emotional expression or dance moves, it infects people who appreciate the performance. He loves hard and willingly all the way.
Marigan was an artist, a painter. However, most of the movies show his singing and dancing talents, and his painting talents are less portrayed. It is only written from the perspective of a lady that his paintings are very good, which shows that he has ideas. The plot is a bit abrupt. Why should the character's identity be set as a painter instead of a dancer? His friends are pianists and singers. They often show their singing talents. What is the meaning of the characters being painters? He is indeed very thoughtful and very personable. When someone commented on his words, he said, "I don't want you to discuss my work, because I'm not interested in your opinion. If you say it looks good, it's fine. It won't make me feel good, and saying it doesn't look good will just make me hate it." The
only thing I think about is that as a painter, I can use his mouth to express some current problems, he said, "A painter wants to sell a satisfactory work, It is not easy. For example, they who write novels can always sell copies of their achievements. For a painter, there is only one original work, and after buying it, it disappears completely”, on the social reality of writers and painters . However, the portrayal of this identity of this character is not full. After that, he will never appear as a painter, but just a name. He does not see his paintings, only asks his voice, and only sees his dance. Of course, it is not just the problem of painters and writers, it should be the problem of the entire artist, as well as singers and pianists. It is reflected in friends Henry and Adam. The former has a future and can go to the United States for development, while the latter can only dream. Daydreaming in which everyone is himself, the performers, conductors, pianists, and audience are all his own faces, which is extremely sad. The pianist is relatively unremarkable, unappreciated, and unlucky.
In terms of relationship, the inexplicable love triangle, the two men do not know, only the girl Lisa knows. She can understand her feelings at the age of 19. Before she met the passionate Marigan, there was only Henry, the man who had saved him and always took care of him and loved him. It was normal to fall in love with him, but after she met the passionate Marigan , was attracted by his wit and persistence, fell in love with him, and it was normal. She was only 19 years old. At this age, she yearned for love and a different life. There is a very impressive sentence "There is only one between a man and a woman that can be called a real problem, that is, one falls in love with the other, and the other does not." Love is mutual, not mutual love, and it will never be long. So there is a happy ending.
But this ending is a bit abrupt, there is no footage of her communicating with Henry, we only know that she has come back to find him, so the two of them love each other together.
Although there are some shortcomings, I still think the movie is good. The songs and dances that are not on the stage are closer to life, close to life, many dances and all the music are wonderful, the filming and production are beautiful, and the lines are also good.
