There are also many similar youth song and dance movies made in Europe and the United States. The earliest song and dance movie I watched was "If. Love". In all fairness, this movie is really well done, and the performances of Zhou Xun, Jacky Cheung, Takeshi Kaneshiro and other leading actors are also very powerful, but a discerning person can see at a glance what this movie is imitating. But as one of the earliest Chinese modern song and dance films, "If Love" is really a very good film. The movies I watched later, such as "Jingwumen", all felt very blunt. It's not just about the actors, the storyline isn't that compelling. "Jump Out" starred by Zhang Yuqi is even more bloody to Cinderella dancing to meet Prince Charming. After watching "High School Musical China Edition", I basically lost confidence in domestic remakes or imitations of European and American youth music and dance movies. On the film forum, some people said that China is not suitable for this kind of film. In foreign countries, children dancing can be regarded as a hobby. They don’t seem to have to worry about the college entrance examination job and buying a house. In China, dancing without studying hard is a deviant thing. When we were young, we liked the god-like Elvis and MJ even Seen as a bad boy by teachers.
The "dance saved me" that the dancers said at the beginning of "Dance Out of My Life 3" is unlikely to happen to our group of children, because only good grades and good jobs can save us. There are too many compliments to say about dancing, but for us, dancing is really only a hobby. The most enjoyable moment is nothing more than a large group of people in the KTV, twisting their already stiff waist in front of the screen.
This movie gave me a real insight into what dance is, what a master dancer is, and what a real fighting dance looks like. In just a few dozen minutes, it brought me a completely new experience that had never been seen before. I can't imagine the genius who choreographed the dance for this movie, but he must be a great dancer too and has an extremely strong love for dance. Like Luke, Moose, Natalie, Camille, anyone in there. For them, dance is as natural and indispensable as breathing, just like walking. It is precisely because of this innate nature that the whole movie looks so smooth and unpretentious.
I'm thankful that the Dancing My Life series has no plot connections, as opposed to high school music, which all have plot connections to each other. And because there is no connection, the movie is effortless to watch, and you don't have to worry about why the male protagonist has changed, and the female protagonist is not so beautiful. It's the same series as Dancing Out of My Life, but the content of the third part is more like shooting purely for dancing. Although there is nothing too complicated in the storyline, it is nothing more than the story of film and dance lover Luke leading his dance company to win the American Street Dance Competition, and in the process meeting dance genius Moose and Natalie and a group of other lovely people. The plot is so simple, but it is the gorgeous dance steps and the soundtrack that complement each other. Every fight dance is so exciting, and some scenes I even watched dozens of times over and over again, but I couldn't get enough of them.
There are four scenes that I can't forget for a long time. The first one was Luke and Natalie blowing bubbles on the riverside blower with their drinks, which was really nice. The music at this time was also very suitable. Baidu didn't know it was Laza Morgan's "This Girl" until a long time later.
Fighting with ghosts in Chinatown is even more exciting than the finals, especially when Moose rides a bicycle to the arena, and the scene where he walks and splashes on the watery arena is really handsome.
Moose and Camille dancing to street music made me fall in love with this sweet girl. Honestly, they are a really good couple. Childhood sweethearts, have the same hobbies, have a heart-to-heart and love each other. At the end of the movie, the director obviously fulfilled the audience's little wish. The two happy enemies finally came together after resolving all the contradictions and doubts.
The last scene is when Moose leads the pirate dance troupe to Kido's playground and joins the pirates with the MSA dance troupe. People who didn't know each other practiced dancing together, but soon became a family. Impressive. This group of lovely people, because of their love for dance, came together to become a loving family, helping and encouraging each other. I also like the soundtrack of this section, from Flo Rida's "club can't handle me".
By the way, this movie is really full of advertising for Nike, from the limited-edition Nike Dunk at the beginning to the Nike warehouse of the twin brothers in the middle and finally Luke's gift to Moose, the end of the movie. , The dancers even held a pair of Nikes in each hand and put out various poses, which made people have to sigh how charming a pair of good shoes is. For this, refer to the madness of Nike shoe lovers all over the world. Crazy for shoes, no explanation.
I've been watching this movie over and over again for the past few days, from beginning to end, over and over again, without the slightest feeling of boredom. Maybe this movie will soon replace Kung Fu Panda as the movie I have watched the most. But, no way, I really love this movie to death. Youth, blood, dreams, friendship, and love. All the good things in the youth are infinitely magnified in this film and become even better.
