Burning is a special work, which won the highest score of 3.8 points (out of 4 points) in the history of Cannes Film Festival, and it is also a long-lost glory for Korean films at the European Film Festival. Film critics and the public rarely stay at the same level in aesthetics and taste, so it is not surprising to comment on the polarization of burning.
Counting the favorite dance passages in the film is also because the African Bush solo danced by the female host in Burning is breathtaking and can be called a classic in film history.
Huimei walked into champagne dusk and saw an empty vilen. She took off her coat, indulged herself and danced quietly. In the melodious trumpet music, her hands slowly grab upwards, which is both yearning and worship; With open arms, gliding against the wind is freedom and sinking. Ups and downs, layered, such as clouds and clouds, ups and downs. Until you jump up, hide your face, cry and faint in the wild.
This poetic passage perfectly expresses the theme of "being" discussed in the film, as she said: "For the Bushes, there are two kinds of hungry people: small hunger and big hunger, and small hunger is the general hungry; Hunger is a person who is hungry for the meaning of life. Why are we alive? What is the meaning of life? People who explore that kind of problem all day long think that kind of talent is real hunger and call them great hunger. "
To put it bluntly, two kinds of hunger are survival and existence, and the gap between "classes" is obvious. Another wonderful dance that directly points to the difference of "class" is the Irish ball in the third class in Titanic.
2. James Cameron's Titanic, Irish dance music
The poor boy Jack (or the charming Leonardo) took the late aristocratic wife Ruth from the boring aristocratic party to the third class and danced with the "inferior". The carnival and music of the country people, accompanied by the call to return to nature, seems to be full of joy in the whole cabin. "I don't understand this dance, just follow it." Jack, who ate, drank and shouted with Ruth, threw away the noble veil of hypocrisy and returned to simple human nature. Who can not love Leonardo, who was full of gas at that time? Like an angel.
Dancing between men and women is very interesting. Need tacit understanding, need the distance between each other. Among them, the doctrine of the mean is related to morality and reputation, and it is indeed a problem to be unfamiliar with dancers. No wonder the aunt who danced in the square dance accused the uncle of making new partners and becoming the stalk of rotten teeth in comedy works; Mature middle-aged people probably pay more attention to fame, always keep proper limit in their hearts, and can also "show love and stop at ceremony"
3. quentin tarantino's Pulp Fiction, Swing Dance.
For example, another classic dance in movie history, Pulp Fiction, travolta and the boss's wife uma thurman are dancing in a bar. As a relaxed and happy dance style in the United States, it was fast-paced and lazy, which was full of coolness in popular culture at that time. Especially in the film, the two people's little gestures are tacit and fun, which is definitely a pleasing classic and is also paid tribute or spoofed by later film and television works.
Because of the ambiguity of the dance and the fact that the dancing partner is a gangster woman, travolta in the play is afraid or embarrassed by this tacit understanding of dancing, and the trophy won by dancing is at the boss's house. How to explain it? Fortunately, uma thurman's drug coma took the story elsewhere, otherwise it would have become a story.
4. The smell of women in Martin Brest, tango dance.
Quentin's taste is quite wild. The corresponding upper-class dance belongs to tango in terms of elegance and beauty. Among them, Por Una Cabeza, written by carlos gardel (carlos gardel), the uncrowned king of Argentine tango, is the most popular in the world, and its classics are enduring.
Classic movies such as The Smell of Women, Schindler's List and True Lies have all used this kind of tango dance, and the most elegant and moving part is the one in Smell where Al Pacino dances with an English girl.
Accompanied by gorgeous and noble tango songs, the music changed from lazy and soothing to minor, suddenly became passionate again, then turned back to soothing and melodious, and the violin and harmonica echoed each other, gradually becoming silent until the chorus. Shi Falan, a blind retired officer with gentleman's character and good taste, dances with girls with music, strolls at the right time, opens and closes, and gets together; Sometimes the pace is lingering, sometimes it is gorgeous, and the body dances, making people see the agility and beauty of life, and they are often moved by it.
5. John Woo's "Crossing the Ocean, Tango Dance"
John Woo filmed Around the World and arranged a tango dance. Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung, their elder brother is wearing a black dress, and a beautiful woman is wearing a fluttering skirt, spinning on the dance floor and sliding in big strides, which is the spring breeze of the thief's success. Turn around, smile, full of youthful joy, shining in the crowd.
6, Masayuki Suo's "Love, Dance", ballroom dancing.
1996 Japanese "Talking about Love and Dance" is an interesting film about middle-aged people learning to dance. The story originated from a middle-aged man's "spring dream". Sugiyama, a nine-to-five office worker, saw an elegant and fresh woman in the window of the dance classroom on the subway, so she entered the dance classroom and began to learn the story of ballroom dancing.
This kind of dance originated in France has an elegant and gorgeous core, skillful movements and unrestrained enthusiasm between opening and closing. This is a difficult dance, which needs more trust and tacit understanding between dancers. The best part is that at the end of the film, Tamiyo Kusakari enters the stadium in a red dress, spinning and sliding with K?ji Yakusho on the dance floor, confident and happy, just like the king on the dance floor.
In contrast, the neurotic Naoto Takenaka bared his teeth in the film, released his nature, danced wild Latin dance, and his movements were grandiose, completely losing the beauty of the dance. No matter how small the work is, there is also a lot of arrogance in the dance; How should middle-aged people who are tired of life please themselves? This movie at least gives a good answer.
7. Shunji Iwai's Flowers and Alice, Ballet.
The most touching part of this film is not meeting Alice's youthful appearance, nor is it the "amnesia" game entangled with the seniors and the relationship between love and non-love, but a ballet solo in the amazing film history of Yuu Aoi at the end of 16.
Alice interviewed the director of the advertisement to show her ballet talent. She used local materials, used paper cups as dancing shoes, and danced ballet alone in the empty room. Light entered the room to form a dense, Alice wearing a uniform, plaid skirt, stockings, jumped out of the dense; When dancing, she plays in the light and shadow like a white swan; At rest, it is like a clean plant, and it is independent of the world.
Inside and outside the screen, the onlookers looked silly. This is the magic of 16-year-old Yuu Aoi, the little sister next door, youthful vitality, untouched beauty, beauty within reach, beauty we have never touched; No wonder it has made generations cry.
8. Pengfei's "The Taste of Rice Flowers", Dai's dance
At the end of The Smell of Rice Flowers, the mother and daughter sneaked into the cave and danced in front of the Buddha, which was a thrilling clip.
In the eternal silence, there is light and water, and my mother dances alone by the water. She sees the charm and charm of animals and creatures in the open air. Daughters also joined in, acting in unison, echoing each other, and graceful figures were reflected on the stone wall, just like the ancient murals on the Millennium stone wall, penetrating time and meeting the present; The shadow of mother and daughter dancing is reflected in the water again, as if entering another dimension, deforming and jumping, and mother and daughter are superimposed together.
This is a dance that breaks time and space. Past and present, caves and distant places blend here, and mother and daughter complete reconciliation. You have me and I have you.
There are also two favorite dance movies, which are recommended for interested friends to watch: stephen daldry's Jump Out of My World (2000), an inspirational story of boys dancing ballet; Ada wong's Crazy Dance School (20 13), watching the university dance club fight PK, will burst your heart.
