I haven't seen such a young boy or girl on the screen for a long time. In the domestic youth song and dance film "The Sky of the Burning Wild Youth" released in the summer, middle school students are no longer the spokesmen of cruel youth, and enjoy the tropical monsoon climate of alternating hot sun and heavy rain on Hainan Island, and their vitality is also particularly exuberant. They choose to use dance to express their inner happiness and worry, as you can see, dancing without a word, or dancing with the shadow on the roof, all naturally. Only good-looking people have youth? Yes, it also includes tiger teeth, smiles, tears, clean school uniforms, coconut grove waves, and highly saturated colors all over the screen.
And slowly, if this is just a main youthful advertising film, its presentation is completely enough, as a rare type of song and dance film in domestic films, three or five years can not wait for one, naturally should also have higher expectations. Some people believe that the idea of a large number of group dances in the film may come from an overseas beverage advertisement, but it may also be just another demonstration of the aesthetics of group exercise. In several group dance scenes, the uniform shapes, movements, and formations make the awe-inspiring sense of ceremony of youth come to the fore, and countless individuals are a wave of flowers, and finally converge into the wave of youth. At the beginning of the movie, the heroine Xiao huang encountered cold eyes from her classmates, could not squeeze into the group dance square, and could only dance alone outside the team, like the most discordant notes in the choir, but in the end, with her as the center of the circle, the team was reintegrated, and she not only integrated into this vast ocean, but also became the existence of the eye of the storm.
After watching "Song and Dance Youth" and "Dancing Out of My Life", I will feel that the elements of this kind of youth song and dance film are nothing more than song and dance, emotion, and inspiration. Once Chinese films touch on this genre, it is inevitable to be stretched, after all, the cultural context is naturally different, and there will be a cottage atmosphere when it is moved. Some film creators have made various attempts, such as "Romantic Cherry Blossoms" in the early years, taking advantage of the trend of Japanese Para Para dance, so that an urban romance story is sung and danced, becoming the memory of the times. "Jump Out" supervised by Stephen Chow uses kung fu to match street dance, which makes Cinderella Zhang Yuqi's inspirational story add more agility and comedy, which more or less affects the later topic of "Crazy Dance Faction" - the film is full of hip-hop, hip-hop, parkour and other trend cultural elements, but the heroine Yan Zhuoling is inspired by Taijiquan to realize a new dance step, which is exactly a portrayal of the localization of song and dance films; last year's "Crazy Dance Party 3" even used wild dance as a weapon to confront unscrupulous real estate developers and go further.
Compared with these attempts, the weaknesses of "Burning Wild Boy's Sky" are also revealed. Dance, like kung fu, is not a talent that is born with, and the process of acquired study is also the growth process of the characters to sharpen their bodies and minds, which is worthy of a big book. In the film, dance is as simple as eating, wearing, living and traveling, or dancing is not important, what matters is whether to form a group, dare to go to the competition, fight for that breath, and do not leave regrets for youth. The relationship between song and dance and the characters does not have skin-to-skin love and pain, but is just a rebellious slogan in their other way.
