dream catcher in the city

It's still good, the film is gray and white, and the soundtrack is very small. Generally, the film will use the soundtrack to render the atmosphere. I didn't expect that movies with dark tones and no soundtrack also have another charm. The subject matter is quite close to reality, and it talks about the city life of a confused girl. It is very literary and not bad, except that some connection points are a bit blunt. The most touching thing is Frances running. That run was very powerful. Her steps were huge, and she ran unscrupulously on the street. Looking at her fluttering hair and firm steps, she would be pushed forward by a force in her heart. In a city like New York, it is inevitable that she will not be accepted by the city for a period of time. Friends around her have their own homes. She is the only one who runs into walls at work, dances alone in the dark, and acts as a substitute whose future is unknown. Stubbornly insisting on her dance dream, her best friend left her and her boyfriend went to Japan. Under such circumstances, the part of Frances alone has increased significantly, but the film does not exaggerate the loneliness of this urban dream chaser, but just calmly narrates, just right is a necessary factor for a good movie. In the end, Frances chose to be a choreographer. Maybe this is a compromise, but I think not all compromises mean giving up, and sometimes it is another way to continue the dream.
