The plot of this play is relatively old-fashioned, and it is about the originator of the circus: PT Barnum rose from the bottom of the society and founded the circus from scratch; at its peak, the circus was closed due to an accident; with the support of family and friends, it made a comeback again. legend. Although the plot is old-fashioned, the interpretation of songs and dances, as well as the performance of tasks and emotions, are quite full, without cutting corners at all. The soundtrack, choreography and scene setting of each song and dance, including the coordination of lighting and props, are quite classic. It is completely a textbook-like Broadway song and dance movie! ! It can be regarded as a wolf version of "La La Land". Barnum, played by Uncle Wolf, took over a museum from the bottom of society (the tailor's son). Since business was poor, he had to find ways to improve his operations. Using his bold imagination and moving speeches, he recruited a group of strange people on the rivers and lakes to form the prototype of the circus. It was very popular in the performance and brought joy to countless audiences. After the success of the circus, he lost himself for a time; he began to dabble in high-end opera tours, and gave up his attention to the circus. Combined with the destruction of social hooligans, the circus closed due to fire. Fortunately, Barnum also has the love of his family, the friendship of his partners and the support of his team members; he and his partners work together to get back up where they failed. Finally rebuilding the circus again, continue to bring joy to everyone! ! A very inspiring and very cheerful song and dance movie.
Among them, there are several impressive points: 1. Barnum's negotiation and duet in the bar looking for a partner Philip; Barnum expressed his pursuit of dreams and joy in front of Philip, which moved Philip; and finally reached a successful cooperation with Philip. The two handsome guys sang and danced awkwardly to each other in the bar. They were happy but light-hearted and good-looking. The selection of songs, the choreography of the dance, the use of wine utensils, including the cooperation of the bartender, are all set quite well.
Second, the Swedish Nightingale's "never enough" The Swedish nightingale Linde sang "never enough" twice when she debuted and broke up with Barnum, both left a deep impression on people. Linde's debut, a flawless soprano, shocked the audience with her "never enough" song. Even Barnum, who heard her sing for the first time, was amazed! Therefore, it also led to the subsequent emotional entanglement between the two. In the end, Lind decided to leave Barnum, and finally decided to sing "never enough" again when they parted, the same song, two feelings; the heartbreak of the parting feeling was fully expressed in the singing. The emotional expression of the actress is also quite in place, not to mention Uncle Wolf, the struggle of inner contradictions is just right.
3. The Bearded Girl's "This is me" The Bearded Girl was one of the first members of the circus. When locked out of Linde's celebration, she stormed into Linde's celebration hall with a ticket of circus members to show everyone the song she sang. To ordinary people, these strange people in the circus are undoubtedly like weirdos. Even their parents were afraid of them, but Barnum encouraged them to stand up and show themselves bravely. And this song is the cry of a group of different people bursting out of their hearts! Although we are not the same, but this is who I am! ! The circus members entered the circus performance hall from the celebration hall. Every movement of the mirror (push, pull, slow motion) was quite beautiful; the coordination of choreography and rhythm was also excellent. It's one of my favorite scenes in the whole drama with a certain treasure.
4. Philip and Anne's pas de deux in the hall combined with trapeze; Barnum's partner, Philip, is an upper-class playwright. He joined the circus because he was moved by Barnum and fell in love with Anne, the trapeze in the troupe. Although two people from different social classes truly love each other, they encounter many difficulties in reality. Philip's parents looked down on Anne's background, so they opposed the relationship between the two. In this scene, Philip expressed his love for Annie, and Annie also expressed her worries about the future of their relationship. In the whole scene, a spotlight illuminated from top to bottom, and two lovers danced and jumped in the light; handsome men and beauties hovered and entangled in the sky, and with the trapeze, the two people's longing for love and the entanglement due to their poor identities were vividly displayed. . Anne's femininity, Philip's masculinity; the lifting and rotating slings are perfectly arranged, which is quite a beautiful and beautiful scene.
Overall, the quality of the film is still very high. The performances of Uncle Wolf and the actors are quite good. The selection and arrangement of songs, dances, lighting, props, costumes, etc. are quite professional and perfect. It is quite a recommended film, and the atmosphere of singing and dancing is also very suitable for watching the New Year.
