Well, we can dance, we can sing

Because of the film that Never Enough learned about, I finally had the opportunity to watch it in its entirety. More like a fairy tale than a biography. The almighty protagonist, flat to rude difficulties and villains, straightforward and simple narrative, highly purposeful rhythm that drives the plot. Suffice to say, as a movie, it's weak and poor by conventional standards. But even realizing all this, I'm glad I was still impressed. Because it sincerely deduces the beauty that belongs to life, life, and our possibilities. Just like a fairy tale, simple stories hide tenderness, courage, laughter, luck, and the first treasures in the world that we are willing to believe and pursue. Believing in fairy tales is not because of childishness and innocence, but because of choosing to have a vision and trust in life. Hope to fall in love with one person and go through all kinds of life together; family members who are always full of hope in life, love each other and support each other; a group of like-minded partners who work selflessly for the goal; create and change this boring world by hand, for everyone Art that brings joy. And of course, there's music. The music was so "sly" that it got into my body so easily and thumped my emotions. Every song is beautiful, its melody, its words, its interpretation, indulge in being hit by the gushing emotions, and listen to it over and over again. I'm so lucky, so lucky, human beings have souls, souls are romantic, and I can release my emotions freely because of the resonance of music. Class, skin color, appearance are not cold and eternal issues of debate, the bleak life is melted by music and dance. It is companionship, trust, selfless giving, close solidarity, rebirth, hope, sincere treatment of oneself, abandoning the world and steadfastly pursuing what one is looking for... This is the unique charm of musicals.

    a good musical...so the circus was a very accidental product? One fire, one rich second generation, one bad review... Without them, maybe the movie IT of the same year would not appear?

    Although Xiu Lang can sing and dance well, but the whole process of singing is annoying, just like watching a singer who is dominated by Sun Nan for a season. The story of a poor phoenix man and a calm rich girl can't be more traditional and safe, and it also comes to the end of the most universal value with the festive song of good luck. The only thing that stood out was the choreography of the trapeze courtship and dodging, using the advantages of the circus to express their desire to refuse and welcome them.
