Behind a tango...

I watched this film because I searched for tango clips on bilibili after watching "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", and then watched this film one after another, "Spiritual Flower" and "Cinderella of Dancing Miracles", and one called Frida, which I never found. resource. After watching these movies, it is impossible to be a fan of tango, especially Argentine tango. This kind of dance gives people a primitive and wild beauty, but also has a modern elegance. I stepped back, not chaotic, and never out of line. On the one hand, I felt like a man was controlling the rhythm of a woman, and on the other hand, I felt that two people were testing each other—with a lustful meaning, and the eyes were silent and sexy. I remember that in the barrage of Durrani and Morgan dancing in front of the students, someone said, "Welcome to the world of adults, little brats," and slapped his thighs! Although this sentence is a bit arrogant, it is too on point!

In addition, the concepts conveyed in the film are also very worthwhile - not only worth the era, but also very worthwhile now - for reference, Durrani said this in a tango dance with the headmistress when facing a group of parents, tango teaches Children etiquette, respect, and how to treat women politely (can't remember the exact words). When I was in junior high school, the boys and girls in our class were either together, or they were "enemies". The school once thought about implementing ballroom dancing, but it was not implemented after all. Now I think about it, respecting others and learning how to deal with interpersonal relationships is everyone's responsibility. It is a very important knowledge about life that should be learned from childhood. If it were common sense to treat others with respect and kindness, maybe some of the not-so-good things would happen less today.

Pull away.

I saw some comments that the plot of this movie is too old-fashioned, but I think it is not easy to make the old-fashioned plot new, and even the old-fashioned teacher-student problem and education problem are not easy today. It is still not well resolved, which shows that the film's practical significance is still very strong, and it is still worthy of attention.
