I don't quite understand why many people give such low ratings. Don't these people see the social morbidity under the group portrait of dancing girls? Some people say that the theme of "The Dancing Girl" is neither novel nor profound, and the plot is also very clichéd. Others say that the film only reflects a morbid state of American society today through group portraits of dancing girls. So why can it be selected as one of the top ten of "Time" of the year?
First of all, this film is adapted from real events, with certain accuracy and authenticity, please remember the authenticity. Then from a thematic point of view, you should put aside all the old knowledge about commercial films, see through the film, and study the protagonist.
When you enjoy the full screen and long legs, do you think about two questions: "Why are they making money so simple and efficient?" and "Why don't they stop after making so much money?"
I think: First, they are "thieves", and the object of their "theft" is the victim. Here the film completely marginalizes the victim, which is the male, as if they suffered everything from their own fault and is not worth it. Sympathy (this is what most people think). So, like the man who called the police at the end of the film, is it true that every victim takes the blame and is not worthy of sympathy?
The second question has a clear answer in the movie: extravagance. Make money and immediately spend more money, luxury cars, apartments, clothing, jewelry, brand-name bags and so on. Desire is a bottomless pit. So are they worthy of sympathy? Some people will say that they are all liars and not worthy of sympathy. Some people will say that it is not easy for them to live. Many of them have been hurt and deserve sympathy. Different people have different opinions on this issue.
"The Dancing Girl" tells the story through a female perspective. Both the story and the characters are women, but this does not mean that women are necessarily innocent, or that men are not all blamed. The social problems reflected in this film are not just "pathological" that can be described. It is not only the United States, but China and the world are the same. No one can guarantee that they will not be deceived or deceived others. Because these are happening every second.
A movie with such a practical significance, but it was degraded as worthless, and the short comment area was all two stars and three stars. Sadly sigh!
