Nice dance, bad shot

Pina's dance is good, very free body, with strong emotions, nuances, and a sense of humor. She seems to be using this dance to rediscover some emotions and emotions that have been ignored or suppressed or don't know how to express, as well as the vague desires in her heart. The characters in it often use force, as if trying to break free and fight or try to be tied to something. What impressed me the most was the dance that was used at the beginning and at the end. The line was long, slow and gentle. There is also the frequent entanglement of two people's limbs. You come and go, repeat several times, and inject the emotion in the action into people's hearts. Her dances are all in very specific environments, such as cafes, social arenas, or in the roadside and transportation. These environments are part of the dance, and there are things that are both related to the environment and beyond.
Her cast is very quiet but powerful in action. They refer to the words of Pina, who once asked: What is your longing? Where does it come from? She said to an actress: "You should scare me. She knows how to inspire emotions and thoughts in actors.
She is always asking questions, that's right, art is about constantly surpassing yourself.
But Wenders' filming was not very good. He may have liked Pina too much and lost his cool. The camera was indulged in Pina's dance, but at most he just made a proper and good-looking display, and did not catch Pina's best. important stuff. I remember Pina saying that she used to hide under a table because she was afraid. This feeling is seen in her dance, but not in this Wenders film. He lacks his own attitude and keen awareness and thinking about what he observes.
