On the last day of the May Day holiday, I watched "Showgirls".
The "Showgirl" poster is probably one of the most famous movie posters. The plump dancer reveals a trace of breast enhancement and beautiful legs in black velvet. The S-shaped curve is black and white, full of charm. It is estimated that many people have seen it. It is said on the cover that it is the greatest movie, and after watching some tidbits, I also feel that it is not easy for the movie to be so gorgeous and smooth. The moral crisis of the film party and the music audience... Let me say a few words:
1. The contradiction between the standard of success and the acquisition of inner balance
The casinos and dance halls in Las Vegas may be the most extravagant places in the world, if all the standards are met Established here, then success is of course equal to ambition + continuous effort + one's own talent. If there is only one successful story of a dancer that integrates the three in one, the film will be too mediocre, so Nomi is extremely sensitive and self-respecting from beginning to end, and strongly contradicts the fate of "plaything", and leaves "Goddess Nuo" when the film finally becomes popular. Rice" halo, left Las Vegas.
It looks like a return, but it's actually a contradiction.
The whole film is filled with yearning for "success" and "popularity", and the values ​​are also worshipped. Can you come back? Nomi left Las Vegas, nothing more than to copy a mini version of the showgirl success road.
2. Full of desire, but it seems that there is love flowing
in the film, nomi should not fall in love with anyone, right? It belongs to the friendship of adversity and adversity with the little guy james. Although he almost had a relationship, and nomi was very sad when he found out that james had soaked another dancer, it was not love. Zack, the executive of the dance troupe, showed the other side of Nomi's excellent private dance, and later got Nomi's body, but the dialogue after he investigated Nomi's true identity after the film became a clear proof that there is no love between the two.
Desire, only desire. You can see the undercurrent of love, but in the end there is only disappearance.
3. Who is the real sober?
There is often a wise man in American movies. Who is the sober in this film? Is nomi replaced by Cristal who became the goddess of dancing? Or the black female partner Jasmine? Cristal can be seen as a prophecy, she is not a subjective sobriety, but a passive sobriety that shows the rules of the dancer. Molly is upright and kind. But she is not a justice arbitrator. She is more like representing the director's position, so she only quarrels with Nomi after Nomi pushes Cristal and rolls down the stairs. More often, she is Nomi's Tito... There are
no sober people, so there is no arbitration, There is no absolute value, the directors speak for themselves, offering men and hedonists around the world breasts, thighs, sultry dance, sexy MM, and a trendy, hot and full of personality, rebellion and Gorgeous dance show and erotic show without much moisture.

    It's basically a time-travelling companion to Katie the Prostitute...but since it's Paul Verhoeven, it always feels like this one lacks anything really out of the ordinary, and the whole story is structured like a short story, more so than his earlier ones. The feeling of "fate shit" is too bad. One star for the sudden appearance of Inspector Cooper, I think the role of Kyle MacLachlan, if Rutger Hauer hadn't broken up because of "In Cold Blood" ten years ago, this role may be him of. Finally, what the hell is the fetish for the reserved scene where Paul Verhoeven pours booze on his tits! ?

    In fact, Van Hoven did a good job. As a director, it is not easy to raise this kind of unsubjective erotic story and third-rate cast to this level. The performance, rhythm, and use of mirrors are all good.
