There is a saying that everyone often says and hears, called "love is the eternal theme of bar bar la".
As a regular in the movie, the most common and sadistic mode of love is also the most permanent mode - "I love you, but reality does not allow us to be together."
"City of Philharmonic": Pays homage to traditional Hollywood song and dance films with fading love
Take "Philharmonic City", which won 7 Oscars at the beginning of this year, the film tells the love story between a jazz pianist who has an almost pure pursuit of art and an actress who dreams of becoming a big star, and the two people encourage each other on the road of chasing their dreams, and finally realize their dreams. The price of chasing dreams is the love that is gradually drifting away from each other.
The film adopts the form of traditional Hollywood song and dance films, from costumes to scenes, from songs to dances, all of which reveal a strong sense of nostalgia, from the golden age of song and dance films "Follow Me" to the "Moulin Rouge" of the new century, the director has placed countless classic scenes in the middle of the film. This sentiment has made genre song and dance films that have become niche shine on screens all over the world.
"If Love": Torture a woman's definition of love before and after becoming famous with a song
China's "City of Philharmonic Music", the 2015 song and dance film "If Love" directed by Chen Kexin, also tells a tragic story about love.
Sun Na, who wants to become a famous actor, and Lin Jiandong, who wants to become a big director, met and fell in love with each other at the low point of their lives, but Sun Na, who is more eager to realize his dreams, left Lin Jiandong and chose Nie Wen, a director who can play for her. After 10 years, Sun Na became popular as he wished, Lin Jiandong finally became famous, Nie Wen was still a big director, the three people met, and Sun Na fell into a crossroads of choice.
Cheesy story, old form, how to catch the audience's attention on the big screen that is easy to expose shortcomings is a science, although the positioning of "If Love" is a song and dance film, but the whole film is more singing and dancing, enriching the picture of the story with sound and promoting the development of the story.
"Moulin Rouge": Using the opulence of song and dance and love to record the luxury of Parisian nightlife at the end of the 19th century
Speaking of love in song and dance films, I have to talk about "Moulin Rouge" and "Bollywood Life and Death Love", which are listed as the most gorgeous song and dance films in the history of new century cinema.
Christian, a young poet with great artistic talent in "Moulin Rouge", frantically falls in love with the "Moulin Rouge" nightclub and even the most beautiful prostitute in paris, Satin, and brings her a love she has never felt before. Only through the power of the Duke can Satin fulfill his wish to become a superstar. At the end of the story, Satin dies of illness, and Christian writes his love for Satin into the book.
This song and dance film, which is both tragic and comedic, vividly depicts the luxurious nightlife of Paris, which was famous in the world at the end of the 19th century, profoundly records the love of that time, and is a witness to that era. Under the gorgeous song and dance, every emotion of the characters will be infinitely amplified, and the era in which the protagonist lives will be infinitely smaller, and finally projected onto the stage where the size of the party is visible.
"Bollywood Life and Death Love": A Bollywood-style interpretation to complete the critique of the caste system in Indian society
Also sublimating a love story into an era in the form of song and dance is the Indian movie "Bollywood Life and Death Love". The male protagonist of the film is from the Brahmin aristocratic class and has enjoyed the highest social status in Indian society, and the female protagonist is a dancer who is a pariah in The Brahmin-centered Indian society. Although the hero and heroine are young and bamboo, they cannot get married because of their unmatched social status. The male protagonist was thus immersed in alcohol and could not extricate himself, and finally died of depression, and the female protagonist was married to a widower and ran away. The only thing to be thankful for is that the male protagonist was able to look at his sweetheart before he died.
Dazzling costumes, mysterious and beautiful Indian actresses, wonderful songs and dances, luxurious scenes and atmospheres, twists and turns of the storyline, exaggerated performances, all together make this luxurious Bollywood classic. The caste system of Indian society, under the exaggerated and dazzling Bollywood interpretation, has been criticized endlessly.
"You Have Beautiful my Life": Using the clutch of a pair of dance geniuses to explore the road of national cultural inheritance
A good film is not only to tell a beautiful story for the audience and provide an audiovisual feast, but also to have a view and reflection on society.
Our film "You Beautiful My Life" uses a wonderful song and dance to show the joys and sorrows of a pair of dance geniuses. After walking through the pure campus time, where should the hero and heroine go? In the context of the need to inherit the national culture, how will the two young people find the exit of life? The answer, of course, you have to go to the movie to find, I believe that everyone will gain their own insights.
Song and dance is the most primitive, expressive, and most inspiring of inner passion and soul desire of all art. Life can't give you, movies can give you; desolate dialogue can't give you, song and dance can give you. Feel the charm of song and dance movies and dream of love. The name of the dream is called "You Beautiful My Life".
