As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, many people's status becomes - waiting for the National Day holiday.
But have you ever thought that when October 1 comes, it means that there are only three months left in 2019?
Have you achieved your small goals for 2019? Is the 2019 flag standing?
Have we all gotten our way in 2019?
Perhaps many people are afraid of being asked these questions, and every question about goals and dreams is like a rush: there is not enough time to realize dreams, and the pain and risks that need to be endured during this period are also cold and warm self-knowledge.
Today I recommend a movie related to dreams - "Yuli", the protagonist Yuli in addition to facing various obstacles to chasing dreams, but also bears many responsibilities that do not belong to him;
His path to his dreams was doomed from the beginning.
The chosen son of the slum out
Ully is actually the protagonist's nickname, because he came from a slave family, and his grandparents had experienced the pain of being imprisoned and whipped, and they had no dignity and could not survive. So his father named him "Yuli", which means "the fighter who changed the family".
Uly's real name is Carlos Acosta, the well-deserved prince of the Royal Ballet of London, and the first black dancer to play Romeo, known as the "King of Cuban Ballet".
His achievements have been described as "like the first black man on the moon", and in the eyes of everyone, Yuli is a "chosen son" with great dancing talent, the luckiest and most successful dancer.
But before becoming internationally famous, Yuli was like an "unsupportable Adou".
His father wanted him to be a fighter to save the family, but the teacher and neighbors thought he was a troubled teenager and danced with children in the streets all day.
Little Yuli's dream has nothing to do with ballet, but to be a footballer.
Seeing such a Yuli, my father often hated the appearance of iron not steel. But he was well aware of his son's talent for dancing and was sure he could become a ballet superstar.
In order to change the fate of his son and the entire family, his father sent little Yuli to ballet school and strictly supervised him with his teachers.
When talent and interest run counter to each other, is it to endure pain to the moment of reconciliation with talent, or to live an ordinary life at will?
As a child, Ully chose the latter, he was distracted in class, did not listen to discipline, and took advantage of the fact that his father could not manage him when he was in prison, and skipped school and ran out of school.
By the time the teacher found Yuli again, he was covered in dirt and disheveled, and he was a bear child who let the adults their hearts.
But in fact, at this time, Yuli has fallen deeply in love with dance, but he doesn't know it.
The teacher gave all his energy to him, and even if Yuli escaped from the dance again and again, his excellence could not be erased, until he finally merged his dreams with talent.
Yuli became the pride of the Cuban ballet scene and a rising star on the international ballet scene.
Life cannot bear the weight
Excellence never happens overnight, especially for Yuli, who came from a slave family. The poor material conditions and poor educational resources were all obstacles to his upward mobility, and it was his father's expectations and persistence that gave Yuli the opportunity to shine.
His father was his family member and "the one he hated the most." From the time Yully was born, he pinned his hopes on saving his family.
He was almost harsh on Yuli and rarely showed love for his son. Yully was sent by his teacher to a boarding school in another suburban area for repeated violations of school discipline.
Every Wednesday was a family visit day at the school, but little Yuli never waited for the family, because his father was busy with work and his mother's health was not good. This sense of powerlessness and loneliness in exile has always accompanied Yuli growing up.
Even when Yuli has broken out of the hall of fame, because he misses his family too much during rehearsals, accidentally broke his ankle, his dance career was forced to pause, and when he returned to his hometown, he was not greeted by the comfort of his family, but by his father's roar and the disappointment of his teacher.
No one understands Yuli's mood, and people only hope that he can take the family out of the mud and win glory for the country.
There is a long passage in the film where Yully choreographs a dance for the ballet dancers based on his own experiences.
In this dance, Yuli confesses his rebellion and also recalls his father's harshness. The dance clips are intertwined with shots of Little Yully's childhood, making it impossible to tell whether Yuli is a real-life him or a dance him.
The fusion of past and present, reality and art, is fascinating.
One scene is where young Yully plays his father in a dance, recreating his harsh whipping and unspoken love.
Exquisite dancing skills and strong feelings burst out in an instant, and in the moment when yesterday reappeared, Yuli finally reconciled with his strict father and broken native family.
And my father's belated apology is the only confession after Julie successfully performed the dance drama "Romeo and Juliet", becoming the first black man to play the male lead in a large-scale dance drama:
"I know it's painful for me to hurt you, and I've had many years of sacrifice."
Yully's broken native family was once his shackles.
The father was framed and imprisoned, the mother was in extremely poor health, and the sister was even more distressed because she was born in such a family, and even suffered from depression, sitting in a chair all day, without normal thinking and life, and eventually died of schizophrenia.
Long-term poverty and family conflicts have created Yuli's melancholy and sensitive personality, which has given him a sharper artistic perception than ordinary people.
Become a generation of dance masters.
Responsibility and dreams
From the moment he was born, Yully's story was not his alone.
When he was young, his mission was to take his family out of the mud.
After beginning to emerge in the ballet world, his task became to "win glory for the country".
Many times when Yuli wanted to give up, a voice told him:
"Slaves living in shelters were bitten by fleas, and the most terrible thing was the shackles, thick wood on their heads, hands and feet, and for months they were left alone... We shed the blood of 350 years of slavery."
"You are black, and when a black person encounters an opportunity, he must seize it and die without letting go." If you want to help us, you have to move forward."
When the country is unfortunate, when the class divides, when a series of real problems such as people of color are in front of us, the dream of the individual seems to be non-existent.
In Havana, Cuba, there are very few young people like Yuli who can chase dreams, and many people dare not even think about dreams.
So when Yuli truly embraced ballet, his dream was not only to take his family out of the haze, but also to weigh the nation and the nation:
"This is a cesspool. I was tired every day from morning to night, and my family was still starving. The only thing I can gamble on in this world, the only thing I can count on, that truly belongs to me, is my life."
As a personal biopic of the Cuban ballet emperor, "Yuli" shows not only his growth process, but also the hardships that a "chosen son" needs to pay to become a real artist.
From the stage performance of the adult Yully, we can clearly see how a low-level child can show himself in the pressure of poverty and the ridicule of everyone.
He needs to break through the obstacles that life has created for his worldview, he needs to endure the pain of practicing day after day, he needs to reconcile with his talents, he needs to accept the burden of his family and even the expectations of the country, and he needs to "gamble with his life".
Like the name his father gave him, Ully eventually grew into a warrior, fighting fate, fighting society, fighting himself.
No one can be separated from his origins and nationality, it is a heavy family and a suffering nation that gives Yuli the strength to become an artist.
He has a persistent love for his homeland and homeland, and at a time when most Cuban actors need to "defect" to get into the top dance companies in Western countries, he is approved by the government to participate in competitions and performances around the world.
So when he achieved top achievements in the world, he never forgot his homeland, and tried to revive Cuban art through dance.
In 2014, Yuli published his second novel, Pig's Foot, set in Cuba and depicting the island's history from the 19th century to the present
What a dream means to a person, what a dream should be like, there is no certain rule. But the people who chase their dreams are all warriors.
Yuli, the warrior, is still struggling to this day.
