watching the 3D version of "Dancing 4", I asked my friend about the stereoscopic effect of "Pianna 3D" on Facebook, and she was asked "How can you use "Dancing Yourself"? Compared with "Pina"?" Of course, the "Dancing Out of Myself" series is a commercial film mainly aimed at teenage audiences, and the latter is the German director Yun. Windas to the late dancer Pina. Pausch's tribute to the artwork, comments such as the lack of depth and artistry in the "Dance" series are uninteresting. But at least technically, the two plays are film works that express dance art in 3D technology, and there are still comparisons.
"Dancing 4" is a problem in the 3D part. The action with a strong sense of rhythm is not smooth after the three-dimensional processing. It seems that the effect of "jumping" is dizzying. I don't know if this is intentional or is it really " Flicker removal" is due to roughness in the process. The question about "Pina 3D" was to clarify whether stereoscopic technology was not advanced enough to capture dance movements - others responded that the movements shown in "Pina" were very smooth and moving. That is to say, "Dancing 4" wants to use 3D technology to enhance the visual effect of continuous dance, but it is self-defeating, which is the problem of its failure to control related technologies - not to mention that "Dancing 3" is already a three-dimensional movie!
"Dancing 4" repeats the consistent pattern of this series. The male and female protagonists use dance to cross class barriers, mix hip-hop dance with modern dance that belongs to "elegant art", and use dance to achieve self actualization. For the sake of novelty, the episode focuses on the dance company's use of street flash mob dancing as a means of social protest. In the final scene, the dance troupe raided in protest against the developers' forced redevelopment. But it's more like a dance carnival than a fight. Different teams take turns to show their dance skills in various ways, and the trampoline is chaotic. What does that have to do with the message "We Are Not For Sale" they want to express? It's still a sales pitch. Moreover, the choreography and editing are not coordinated, it is dazzling, and the level is not as good as the previous dances.
In the ending, the hero and heroine rehabilitate their old friendship. The scene of dancing by the seaside is a self-irony of the theme: they are carrying the sunset (backlight) behind their backs, and the camera is shot in a deep panorama. The building on the other side is clearer and more beautiful than the image of the dancers. They had to demolish it, so it would be too wasteful to not build a screen house.
