Felicity the Great: Two Angles, Two Worlds

Ona 2022-04-04 09:01:08

The great Felicity in 2016, to be honest, brought a lot of shock to me as a child at the time. The story of Felicity's unremitting efforts and fulfilling her dreams was really inspiring to me at the time.

But when I searched online, the results were not what I expected. When I thought there would be a lot of comments calling it "inspirational", there was a lot of infamy on the Internet, mainly for the three views of the film.

Four years later, I revisited this film.

The film is admirably set in 19th century France, and there are small romances unique to France everywhere. Felicity's spirit of paying tribute to her dream by paying tribute to her dance is touching, she worked hard, worked hard, and fulfilled her dream.

The downside of the film is the shaping of Felicity, which is a big pity. It is indeed a bit far-fetched to be able to practice a ballet superstar after ten days of such pressure. After all, it takes three or four years for ballet dancers to practice basic ballet before they can start to practice pointes and wear pointe shoes; Felicity's music box is also a highlight, and Felicity's music box is reflected many times in the movie. I always thought that later in the movie, I would use this music box to reveal the love line of life experience or confession, but I didn't expect this to be an excuse for Felicity to steal other people's admission notices.

Most of the doubts lie in these aspects: stealing other people's admission notices, passing a girl who has been practicing hard for more than ten years in one day, and performing "The Nutcracker", the masterpiece of classical ballet, on stage in the last ten days, the teacher's favoritism and The favor of the handsome male supporting actor and the protagonist's halo helped to wipe the floor, and then got all the money that was originally a top dancer who could only be a cleaning lady in the end? ? ?

This brings me to my title: Two Angles, Two Worlds.

The first angle: the rational angle.

Why can't many people watch it? Because this film is really unfair to the children who are not the protagonists. We cannot guarantee that we will be the protagonists with golden fingers. For example, Felicity stole the notice. Even if she had a noble reason, she couldn't use it to steal the results of others. Especially in 2020, the emergence of the major event that the college entrance examination will be replaced makes me think of the plot of the movie. What is the difference between Felicity's behavior and those who use someone else's admission letter to change someone's life? Just imagine, if Madame Leo did not realize the seriousness of the matter and came to confirm, then Camille's life would be drastically changed. It can be seen from Madame Leo's attitude that although Camille does not love dancing as much as Felicity, she must have put in a lot of hard work and hardships for so many years, even pain and tears. She may have been injured, and she may have given up a lot of time for it. Although we as "God" saw that in the end Camille did not get this opportunity to perform, but Camille did not know at that time. What if she succeeds? It was a variable for them at the time. Then we cannot deprive her of her rights.

And other kids. From the identity of the movie Melat, it can be seen that he is the most powerful master of the Paris Opera House, so the class he takes must be the most powerful children. And how good are the kids in this class? They're candidates to perform The Nutcracker with the greatest dancers of the day, and each of them could be the one on stage. I really can't figure out why a dancer who has only practiced for ten days can lose such an excellent dancer in one day? You said that she also practiced in the orphanage, well, this is really thanks to her vandalism in the orphanage, otherwise if she didn't move, jump, jump and stretch, she probably wouldn't even be able to open her hips. You said that Odette gave her a training camp, so at least I think it's probably only one block a day, jumping, flexibility, balance, concentration, and head shaking. They do just that. For example, on the first day of practicing bouncing, suppose a class is two hours long, and Maillart will let them dance for two hours? impossible. There must be something else. So how does Felicity do these moves when Odette doesn't practice them? What did her mother tell her secretly?

In this way, this is undoubtedly a denial of the efforts of these girls who have paid so much, and it is also the greatest unfairness to them. If you are defeated by a powerful opponent, you will be willing to do so; the point is, the opponent is actually a gold-fingered heroine who has never learned anything. It's the same as Voldemort and Harry Potter, you say old Volde is happy? Bah, do you think they are happy? Are they willing?

The second aspect: the ideal angle.

I have to say that this movie is really inspirational from the perspective of Felicity's struggle, and the dance and soundtrack are also beautiful.

It is very rare for Felicity to work hard to achieve her dream despite everyone's opposition. How many people can do this?

She had no background, no parents, and came to Paris alone, just for the pure love of dance in her heart. She knew that her opponent was strong, but she still decided to fight to the end. With that pure love, she made it to the end, pouring love into dance and integrating dance into her life. This purity itself is beautiful.

Although she was lost after the setback, she never gave up to regain her confidence and finally touched her dream. This tenacity is impressive in itself.

When everyone thought it was impossible, she could still stick to her original intention. Under other people's underestimation and her own inadequacies, she did not feel inferior, nor gave up. She maintained self-confidence and hard work, unswervingly, and walked step by step towards her dream. This is even more admirable.

I think what the film wants to convey to us are four words: original intention and love. There is nothing more valuable than the original intention, and nothing can promote people's growth more than love. Sticking to the original intention is the most difficult thing in this world for me, because there are so many setbacks that people have to face, so much that they doubt themselves. Being able to hold on to your dreams and inject love into your dreams is a kind of spirit that most people find it difficult to have.

Of course, the movie really wants to be close to Disney in terms of setting. This has caused a lot of flaws and even disgusting settings and plots, but you can't deny that aside from all this, Felicity's inspirational Felicity's original intention can really touch the hearts of many people.

I can't agree that watching movies doesn't pay attention to the three views, but I also can't agree with the only three views.

Stick to your correct three views (the premise is that you must have the correct three views), and then, comprehend the original intention.

above.

BTW, I don't think the Odette line was dug clean. Odette is obviously a person with a story, but the movie only uses a fire to explain everything about her. The inexplicable relationship between Maillart and her can be regarded as a little French romance, then Madame Leo's inexplicable hostility to Odette and her final saying "same as Odette" seems to be something she knows It's weird. Unless you come to an Odette biography, then the Odette line is completely redundant, and it does not promote the development of the plot and makes the film incomplete.

Above and above.
