If not, I'm going to explain it later, so you don't have to worry.
In the story before Li goes to Beijing, his father told him the story about 'a frog in a well'.
That inspired me a lot. For me, I think it means to look much wider worldn and
don't see only the part of it. Go higher and see brighter and wider world.
Now, when you hear this, can you guess a little bit of the story?
(*All the pictures are from Naver Images)
Li cunxin was 6th son. His family was very poor. One day, people came to find some kids to make them ballet dancers. And Li was selected. He then went to Beijing.
At first, he had hard time because he wasn't talented as others.
So, he decided to practice harder.
And because of his effort, he became very good at ballet and sent to New York with Ben.
In there, he met Elizabeth and fell in love with her.
Time passed, and Li becamefamous.
Then one day, the Chinese president ordered Li to come back to China.
Li didn't want to go back so Ben tried to help him.
And the solution was to marry with Elizabeth, and so he did.
But Chinese government's officials didn't want Li to saty in New York.
So they kidnapped him. Li kept said that he didn't want to go back even his family would be in danger.
So the Chinese realsed him. After this accident, Li lived happily with Elizabeth. But Elizabeth wasn't happy, because she couldn't acheive her dream due to Li.
So she divorced him. But they still loved each other.
Then one day, when Li was dancing, his parents came to meet him. He was surprised, but also happy. Li and his parents were keep crying, while audience were clapping. After that, Li came back to China with Mary and his parents and danced with Mary in China.
I think this movie is romantic and emotional. When Li met his parents again, I was really touched. Now, I'm in GLPS so I can't meet my parents. When I saw Li meeting his parents, I thought about my parents. So it was realy touching.
The movie was fine. No, good. Before I saw this movie, I had a stereotype about men doing ballet. I thought men shoudln't do ballet because they look strange. But in this movie, Li was really beautiful.
He was wonderful and fantastic!!
But I didn't like the part when Li decided to stay in New York. Of course, the ending was happy. But what if his family died because of his decision? He had a nightmare too! If it was me, even I had a big dream, I would first care of my family.
Anyway, the most impressig person was Teacher Chan.
I didn't mention him in my review but because of him, Li decided to practice harder. I have a person like Teacher Chan. It's my statement teacher. I wanted to have a dream about art. But my parents didn't allow me to do art. So, I said to my statement teacher. Then, She said to me not to worry!
She said,
"It is important to listen to your parents because they have lived more than you, but it's your life! You are the owner to choose your way. Just do whatever you want! Who cares!"
That really changed my mind. It felt like she unlocked the lock which was chained to me.
And this is everything I want to say about the movie,
'Mao's Last Dancer'.
Now, I'll end my movie review.
It was a nice post. You organized the story clearly. But one thing that I want to point out is that you should have written your own opinion more. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI felt that I am watching this movie again. I was surprised that your opinion is same with mine!
