Writing this title, the tango in "Smelling The Woman" and the twisting dance in "Pulp Fiction" will appear in the mind. In non-song and dance genre films, there are almost no dance fragments that can be compared with the two.
In my opinion, achieving this goal requires at least three prerequisites: one is that the dance fragments are naturally integrated into the plot; the other is to help promote the development of the plot or shape the characters; and the third is to bring a very beautiful or very cool aesthetic experience. "Smell the Woman" and "Pulp Fiction" have undoubtedly done it.
During the filming of Smelling Women, Al Pacino was helped by a school for the blind and found a way to play the blind man, that is, to see anything without focusing his eyes, which was very helpful for him to create the character. In front of the filming studio, Pacino and Gabriel Anwar underwent a two-week dance training session that lasted only 4 minutes, but the well-improved Martin Blyst shot for 3 days. In the end, Gabriel Anwar is so beautiful, very natural, fresh, healthy, unstainable beauty.
When shooting Pulp Fiction, it was much easier from the perspective of dance basics, because John Travolta himself was the "dance king", and in the 1970s, his "Grease" and "Weekend Fever" directly made "disco" popular all over the world. Compared to the theme and style of the film, Travolta's spooky spirit and Uma Thurman's ambiguity are too high. Coupled with Quentin Tarantino's unparalleled talent, the dance in Pulp Fiction became the coolest dance clip in the history of cinema.
