dance trilogy

To be honest, in fact, I have never liked hip-hop, twisting my body into a twist, turning my head upside down, or shaking my crotch. Taste can be cultivated, but taste is innate. The conclusion is that I really can’t see any beauty. At first, I thought that I had been washing my brain for too many years, but it was not. The choreography of hip-hop seemed to be sloppy, but in fact it was very carefully calculated, which can basically be regarded as a criterion of art ( It is another big proposition to elaborate).

Perhaps the biggest confusion that hip-hop gave me was that it was too difficult to judge the pros and cons. To be honest, I didn't really see the difference between the two teams in the final battle of the third part, and even felt that the protagonist was a little bit invincible. The little signs in the second part were brought to the extreme here. Those lanterns were so uniform that in the end I had the illusion that I was watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Pursuing neatness will bring pleasure, which is irresistible human instinct, but this way of hip-hop is actually disappointing.


One of my favorite dances from the three movies was the pair of childhood sweethearts dancing jazz on the street, easy, casual, and happy! What is dance? Follow the rhythm, mobilize every muscle, and release the soul that has been imprisoned by the body for thousands of years. In this sense, perhaps hip-hop is the most in line with the true meaning of dance. That's why I can't understand hip-hop, because I'm a Chinese, especially a Han who doesn't have his own dance.
