The warm and short life of a generation of famous actors.
"Why do you want to dance?"
But she asked Lermontov: "Why do you want to live?" How could someone jump for love, and it has to be ballet.
If this is an adaptation of a real event, it must be recorded in ballet history. In the end, Lermontov actually let the dance show perform as usual, and still reserved a place exclusively for her under the spotlight.
As he once said to vicky:
"Nobody else has ever danced The Red Shoes since you left."
"Nobody else ever shall."
"Put on the red shoes, Vicky..and dance for us again."
Hong Lingyan, she must be.
It's a pity that the characters in both the dance drama and the movie reality ended up taking off their dancing shoes.
Fascinate, every part of the entire troupe. Band, students and coaches, group performances, lighting and stage art, the cooperation of managers. The focused expressions on their faces, the bickering of boronskaja and Grischa, the restlessness before going on stage, the enthusiasm and the sympathy between the dancers can be seen in their eyes. It even includes Lermontov's recovery of Peggy in the later period, and his actions after hearing that Peggy committed suicide. It's hard not to feel like this is a lovely bunch of people.
And, of course, Lermontov's paranoia and ambition. He represents the purest artistic ingenuity and high pursuit. So he will hate those performers who are not pure, this is his life aesthetics.
But when facing the excellent artists and works he selected, he is very firm and confident, which is also the backbone of his role as the head of the troupe.
Several times when he described those great and dazzling future visions to Peggy, the light in his eyes was even more sincere and eager than those of the ballerinas standing on the stage.
A very pure, very captivating portrayal.
Think I'm thinking of Pops Drummer and Birdman, there are people like this in their purest form.
Peggy and Lermontov, I prefer to be Lermontov.
The most boring thing is that a good and great woman can't avoid having to arrange a man to entangle with her, and can't escape the sexual perspective and gender bias. It is necessary to bear the pain from men, and always have to choose between career and love and pay the price. Such arguments should be spurned.
Life will end, and we should burn as much as we like.
