Pseudo-art films with insufficient commerciality

The plot is mentally retarded (even as a song and dance theme, it can't be justified). In the singing and dancing part, there is a sense of overpowering the show throughout the whole process. The actors dance and perform too hard, far from being delicate and natural. The dance scene at the beginning of the Moulin Rouge is dazzling, and it does not reflect the beauty of the dance itself. It is self-defeating to show tension. In terms of setting, the crew obviously spent a lot of thought, which is worthy of recognition. However, the many stunt animations used in the whole film are of little significance, and they are too eye-catching.

The whole film wants to explain an unrealistic story in a romantic way. If it is purely romantic, it is fine, and the beauty of the film is the icing on the cake. But the contradiction between idealism and realism in this film was resolved too romantically, and the love that I wanted to express was also extraordinarily awkward due to the frivolous opposition between the two, resulting in the film not having a good foothold, as if hanging on the ideal. A castle in the air between reality, romance and realism, the theme has been overlaid, and it has become a third-rate musical film with a bloody plot.
