watched the clip in teacher Zhang Xianmin's class many years ago.
I watched "Little Sunshine Beauty" again.
The two movies have certain similarities. A child wants to realize a dream, get help from his family, and both have a homosexuality,
and the movies are both a flattering setting: "little boy dances ballet" and "little fat girl wants to be elected" Beauty Champion"...
But the texture of the movie is completely different.
Billy is a little boy who was produced in a coal mine.
He has a sensitive and intelligent mother, but is dead, leaving only a piano and not much jewelry.
He also has a grandmother who is awake and scared like a small animal when she is old. She always said that she could be a Professional dancer,
he has a miner father, he is irritable and irritable, he is clumsy and blunt, he can’t express his feelings,
he has a miner brother, he is also irritable, he wants to explode his youthful bloodliness, form It's a strike.
There are several
levels of conflict in the film: one is the striking environment full of police and tired and helpless miners, the conflict with ballet, the
other is the family, such a family that has nothing to do with art and has serious survival problems, and the conflict with ballet. ,
one is Billy himself, his heart "ballet boy" and "gay" in the conflict.
Of course, there are more specific ones. Billy and his father, father and brother,
sometimes Billy will vent the heaviness of his young age on his innocent female ballet teacher...
There are not many characters in the movie, but I I like that female ballet teacher the most.
This is a colorless middle-aged woman who loves smoking, is obese, has a weather-beaten face,
but is calm, and there is a precious feeling in her eyes, which is very gentle.
She is Billy's second mother.
She has a husband who is unemployed and alcoholic. They sleep in separate beds. Therefore, in the mouth of her extremely precocious little daughter,
"She has no sex, so she dances instead of sex."
My favorite was finally Billy was admitted to the dance academy. to say goodbye to her,
she was at the door, simple, and even indifferent to say:
".. you do not want me, you soon will not you think I have a great future, make it a good"
then turned in, continue to call her beat: "a da da two three four da da ......"
Billy really gone, she was a person wandering in the dark empty rehearsal hall (actually half a boxing room),
that The back of the middle-aged woman is really touching, sad and touching.
I love him deeply because of the short shot the director gave to this woman.
I also like the description of Billy's kid, the gay boy.
A few very simple strokes.
The teacher said that in fact, at the end of the movie, it was implied that Billy's dance troupe was homosexual in nature, (without a woman),
Billy's struggle, and another layer: whether he likes girls or boys' struggles.
At the end of the movie, he kissed the little boy.
The little boy stood on the roof of the miner, halfway up the mountain, shouting: "DANCE BOy!" In
this movie, in my opinion, the best arrangement is the line of "strike", which has been implemented to the end.
In fact, if the "strike" is removed, the story can be established, but it loses its brilliance.
The strike gives the movie a violent look, harsh, heavy, and bloody.
At this moment, ballet is particularly precious, gentle, and luxurious.
I also particularly like the story. At the end of the story, Billy was admitted. Dad rushed into the boxing room excitedly and shouted: "He did it!" The
painful workers all over the room told him: "The strike failed, the union was disbanded, we Must go to work tomorrow."
Billy ascended into another world,
But Dad and brother got into the elevator and slowly sank into the dark ground.
At this moment, you will understand what Billy's success really means.
In the movie, everyone is a loser, but they use all their strength to let Billy achieve his success,
so that he can make such a glorious leap at the end of the movie.
I think that the most advanced movies are about the ability to describe something, whether it is precise and subtle.
There is no doubt about the "family facing life crisis",
in "Billy Elliott", it is the son who sits on the threshold on Christmas night, watching his father chop the piano in the snowy yard, and the
son is timid. He said: "Mom won't be happy."
Dad stopped and said, "Don't tell me this. Mom is dead."
In "Little Sunshine", it is the daughter who is in the room and hears Dad and Mom about Dad. The business failed another quarrel.
In many cases, I have this feeling:
I like Hollywood, just like I like "Little Miss Sunshine",
but movies like "Billy Elliott" hit my heart.
